Roos could make a statement with some changes next week, but that wasn't a loss of the magnitude against West Coast. We're hanging in there and being competitive, but we're a long way from dominating any teams. It's frustrating that we've lost 3 very winnable games now though, especially looking at the month of misery we're in for.

It's going to be a hard slog, and we'll be stuck with VFL level talent until we can turnover the list in October. Keep Salem at Casey for a while longer, Roos will want to see who stands up against the elite teams we're facing in the next month.

Agreed - we've blown 3 chances to get valuable confidence-boosting wins on the board.

We don't have St Kilda, Carlton or Gold Coast again this year. We do, however, still have to play Geelong, Hawthorn, Fremantle, Sydney, Essendon, Collingwood, Port Adelaide (twice), North Melbourne (twice), West Coast in Perth, and Adelaide in Adelaide.

Bulldogs (twice), GWS at home, Richmond and Brisbane are probably all we have left, to be perfectly fair (though at our best who knows against Sydney this week). It really hurts to think that, with a bit of luck and a couple of crucial moments going our way, we could be 2-3, even 3-2 right now, with a lot more confidence at our backs.

Don't want to be negative nelly but the proliferation of VFL teams (new Rich, WB and stand alone equivalents) has almost certainly weakened the comp. It should theoretically make the gap even bigger between AFL and VFL.

That said Salem playing well is great to here. Bit sick of hearing about Kelly, Aish, Bontempelli, Billings etc.

Is the Toumpas playing?

He was definitely playing and got a lot of the ball early but didn't hear him getting many mentions after half time. He could have been injured.

I wasn't at the game but got the scores and some descriptions from Casey Radio.

Garland also did well in what was a scrappy game. I would think it would be sufficient for him to pull up well to get a game at Melbourne next week.

Roos is well known for allowing players to develop at 2nds level to what he requires of them before allowing them to play 1's. In saying that we have weaker list than the Swans lists he had so we might see Salem sooner, but let him have some time to develop before putting him on a pedestal.

No way, I thought JKH showed quite a bit today. Has goal sense, which we crucially lack from smalls.

Not sure we want to push Salem in straight away, but if we do, Jetta goes.

Mate, have a look at the time things are posted before jumping the gun.

Was written before half time where JKH had done sweet F-all. Salem was killing it, would have been a worthy swap at that stage.

JKH was good in the second half, will be better after a few pre-seasons.

I didn't think JKH looked lost at any stage today. I at least saw him getting involved, unlike 3 or 4 others.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
