well the last time a coach exited before seasons end, the interim wasn't given the chance to rest a few and see who on the bottom part of the list could show something before the new coach arrived

this is the time to find out who can play and who wont make next years list

so bring in a ressie player and give him 5 games, so the new coach can either trade him or stick with him. it will at least give the new coach some information not already known

Cotton wool..

Bring in Davis for a go.

Want to see Taggert by years end, he deserves a go.

Not too sure if Taggert deserves a game but it would be good to get a look at him. He might end up playing simply because we don't have enough fit blokes by the end of the year.

Tynan is my pick to come in though, has strung together some decent games recently.

I would really like to see both Taggert and Tynan, Tynan probably in for Frawley though, same sort of position although can't see Tynan playing against a no.1 forward in just his 3rd game. Also would love to see Taggert as we just need to experiment with our list! Havn't seen him yet and hardly seen Tynan, contracts out at end of year, surely they will get a 3rd year, but who knows. Gotta see if they have AFL potential first I guess.

Based on what. Ive seen him get in the best for casey once. Why do we want to do the very thing that makes our development so sh1te i.e promoting players for the sake of it, whilst Geelong etc let them develop for years in the twos.

The mind boggles.

Lets at the very least see if he can do it again at VFL level first.

I agree - he is a mid playing forward at Casey because he supposedly doesn't have the tank yet to play mid.

Probably is a similar case as Kent. If we really want to bring him in maybe he could be a sub like Kent but play in the midfield (we don't really need another tallish forward) and our midfield could use some help (especially size).

No rush though - you should at least have 1 full preseason before playing afl

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
