OUT: Tapscott, Strauss, Jones, Davey, Green

IN: Warnock, Nicholson, Sylvia, Jurrah, Maric.

Harsh on Jones I think. At least went hard at the ball today. Agree with Green who was nowhere today. Would maybe give Davey one more week to see if is better for another run, probably at Maric's expense.

Tappy got knocked out twice and probably in the hospital thanks to S. Martin :(

AR yes Jonesy did get a bit of the footy and I liked his hit on a Blue player early but his decision making is awful in my view.

Maybe bring in Morton instead of Maric.

IN - any player who really wants to be part of our future

OUT - anyone who can't be bothered to put in a full game's effort, which would seem like most this week and last

Out: Strauss, Bate, Tapscott (if still concussed)

In: Nicholson, Cook, Warnock (if Tappy doesn't come good)

Warnock for Lynch.

Are you talking about Cook who will be playign Casey 2's tomorrow? Cannot do Ins until I see tomorrow but Strauss,Green,Bate and Bartram for mine with Rivers(cant play on a tall) and Moloney (doesn't work hard enough outisde the square) not far behind.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Tappy miss. It looked like he copped a pretty solid whack on the jaw. Could be broken. Of course, if he's just concussed then we can bring him back next week and he'll kick 6...

Anyway, I can see both Strauss and Tappy going out, which makes next week really interesting. Do we see Blease get a start? I think it's a great opportunity to give Davis a taste. Play him on LeCras or Nicoski. They are both small marking-type forwards, so he might stand a half a chance. I'd also love to seem Warnock get back into the side to sit on Lynch. Frawley goes to Fletch and Rivers gets to play third man, which is where he prefers to be.

I honestly can't understand why Green is still in the side at the moment. Richie Vandenberg kept the captaincy when he wasn't good enough to get into the side and there were no problems. Surely they can bite the bullet and admit that he's not carrying his weight? Ditch him for a game or two and put Davey into the forward line.

So this leaves us with the following:

Out- Tapscott, Strauss, Green

In - Davis, Blease, Warnock

There's no way I want to see warnock don a melbourne jumper again, complete liability with his disposal and not accountable enough...

Dunn had 13 possessions 7 tackles 3 or 4 hit outs and kicked two goals and presented up forward and having a spell on Judd and you want him dropped?

I can think of half a dozen players who ought to be dropped before he should.

Yes, that Cook. I know, I know. But why not, seriously? The game is a virtual write-off.

Although possibly LJ instead.

We get exploited each week now with being unable to match up on the Gorilla forwards and next week the Eagles have several of them . No harm blooding McDonald and Davis if they go ok tom.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
