No inference at all. It's just that my auto-translate app isn't working and I was having trouble with the first half dozen words of your post but I did get the gist of it. :)

Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise if there were two rookie elevations this week and the inclusions of Georgiou and Jetta will IMO prove to be more valuable additions to the team than many would think.

LoL; Its the late night glasses... they well just won't work

And I hope no-one tries to tell me that will be Cameron Pederson

Fitzy and Pedersen between them - 2.5

Howe - 2.5

JHK/Byrnes/Blease/Bail/Toumpas between who ever plays as small forwards - 4

Midfield - Watts/Vince/Trengove/N. Jones/Michie/Tyson/Cross - 4

Fitzy last year showed he can be good for a goal a game at least when he's in form. He got one most games and kicked a few multiple efforts. Pedersen as a key forward might be just ok enough to get a goal a game if the midfield and backline provide something.

Howe has the ability to have a 50 goal season if used close to goal in a team with solid ball movement.

The small forwards and midfield goals will depend entirely on how well the team is playing. Play well and the goals will take care of themselves.

From what I saw of Pedo at training, he was working his butt off (can't believe I am saying that after what I saw last preseason) and will prove many of us wrong.

He was also doing a hell of a lot of work training as a forward.

FB: Georgiou Frawley Dunn

HB: Grimes McDonald Terlich/Clisby/Strauss/Jetta

C: Watts N. Jones Trengove

HF: Michie Pedersen Toumpas

FF: Howe Fitzpatrick JKH
Foll: Spencer Vince Tyson

Int; Cross, McKenzie Choice of: 2 from Bail/Byrnes/Blease/Matt Jones for last bench/sub spot

That's my guess. Hope they play JKH for a full game. He brings energy that we need at the start of the game. Can't decide who I'd go with for the 6th defender but at least against the saints compared to against Hawthorn they should have a rotating midfielder who's a questionable forward more than a very good forward.

If we win the clearances and use the ball smartly and quickly we can win. That can definitely be high possession and sharing it around but we have to do it quickly and confidently.

I believe the rookie elevations will be announced today.

Clark should be put on the LTI list giving the club two spots to fill.

Georgiou and King are my tips.

Surely not king. I would have thought they'd let him ease into things at Casey. If they don't give jetta a crack now they never will.

    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

    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
