Pepperjack. A reasonable shiraz.

I would rate ia fair bit better than "reasonable" bbo

I'm yet to see one pundit that gives us a chance in hell this week.

Yes we don't have Mitch but....did I miss something or are we playing Brisbane? I'll be very disappointed with a loss.

 

Interesting that none of the 7 listed in the extended bench are named in the Casey side.

Have you noticed who the Lions have beaten in the last couple of weeks.

WCE Seem to remember they towelled us fairly easily

And the dogs by ten goals,hmm think they fixed us up easily as well.

Hope you have not forgotten the first game at the G.

And remember it is at the Gabba.

Lions by 6 goals I reckon

I agree with you on that old dee, and reluctantly, I'm starting to come around to your way of thinking re No.7. But I don't agree with your final point in post 31. Dees by 3 goals.

I'm tipping the Lions too but I don't see why we should be such rank outsiders considering the steady improvement over the past few weeks. The Dogs were absolutely woeful last week, and the Eagles actually won that game, the goal ump pinched it off them. :) From memory though they looked very fatigued and had an off night.

You'd think from the build up that we were playing Geelong at Kardinia.

I am happy for you be right Deeoldfart.

I am going to this game and do not want to endure another loss

But I just do not see us beating the lions at the Gabba when you consider the relative form of both sides over the last few weeks.

And there is no Clark.

Like your positive attitude P_Man but just cannot see it myself

That and the selection of both Spencer and Martin for the Demons this week indicates to me that the Russian is likely to join Aaron Davey as a Mystery Injury of The Week contender. Bail will probably bail out and hopefully come back next week (probably via the AFL now that he will have missed a large enough block of games) and we'll take up one emergency who will be a non player.


Hey old dee, JB might be back!!

Spencer in a strange one. Perhaps the russian is sore?

Perhaps they want to try Russian at FF for the majority of the game?

I for one love 50/50 shots on the goal line. They make for exciting viewing.

Now, where the hell is Gysberts. Some sub action at least. Give me something Neeld!

Smart arse comment of the night

Jaded he is playing for Casey!

No, really?

I always want injured players to play!

I know he's playing for Casey, as he has for the past few weeks. I question why he isn't playing in the seniors. He's already missed so much development time this year. Seems a waste.

Yes I know where you were aiming Jaded.

Just could not resist.

From memory last week was his first full game back from injury and prior to the broken jaw his form had not been wonderfull.

Probably needs another couple of weeks at Casey

Interesting that none of the 7 listed in the extended bench are named in the Casey side.

Because they all have to be in Brisbane on Saturday, even as emergencies?


Can't work out why Moloney hasn't been dropped. I watched the replay of last weeks game again, just to see what he was doing. He honestly runs around like a chicken with it's head cut off. He was always following, never initiating, 3rd or 4th man in when jumping on tackled players. He simply cannot catch anyone he is so slow. He does, however, pat his team mates on the head when they do something right. I think someone on here said he was a dumb footballer - cannot disagree.

Darren Kowal must have handed on the goat tapes.

I hear the Russian has been carrying a bit of a back for a while.

Clark out.

Bennell in.

Tha's very generous of you, calling Jamar's kicking for goal 50/50

I'd like to see Dunn at FF. Not so much in the square around the goals but leading to the ball around the 50 m arc. I think he's a better kick at goal the further he is out and pulling the FB out of the contests/space nearer the goals can help the others.


If Only Ricky P had some/any form. Talk about a nose dive season for ricky he could of played Full forward whilst he is no Mitch clarke he could of given us something up forward. To ricky's form: WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?

I fail to see how any of those three being sub is building the "versatility" into the side that Neeld says we need. Unless by versatile he means they are happy about wearing the green vest every second week.

Martin was a gimme coming in but how does this translate to goals? Sadly it doesn't and I don't see where they are going to come from.

Tapscott's hardness will be needed with Davey out :)

Rapt with Tappy's inclusion. I wouldn't have been surprised to see his two week break mean a run at Casey. However, it looks like he adds something that Neeld likes - I know he adds something I like.

Clark out.

Bennell in.

[censored] life!

Funny, I thought there were 5 ins? I am assuming that Bennell will either go onto the Emergencies list or at best be the sub.

 

Weather's meant to be fine/sunny for the game, which is no good for us. Melbourne seem to have played their best footy in the wet

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
