Changes for Round 8

Featured Replies

 

my die hard doggies mate claims their back line is pathetic, and non functional. Perhaps Fitzy could rattle a few in there? Albeit i would prefer Frawley, BIG TIME.

Why make their back line less pathetic by including Fitzpatrick?

In: Fairy Floss

Out: Hard Nuts

 

Kent suspended too

cant even bring him in for Viney

what a joke


While the suspensions are frustrating, if it's because our players are playing hard as nails that's a positive we can take away from it.

Kent would've been a straight slot for Viney though, so that's a shame. Could be Riley's chance now, Michie would be too far off because of his broken jaw. Oh, by the way, who got suspended for breaking Michie's jaw? Nobody? Nobody even sighted? Yeah, thought so.

Out: Viney (Sadly), Byrnes and Frawley if injured

In: Riley (in and under, might be a semi-adequate replacement for Viney, will be keen to see him in action), Gawn and Garland

If Frawley isnt out, i'd probably just bring Garland in instead of Gawn

bring Riley in for viney, make him the sub and allow Salem to play a full game

Swap georgiou for garland

Frawley for fitzy as the doggies defence is abit small

 

IN: Garland, Riley

OUT: Viney (susp), Georgiou

FB: Dunn, Garland, Jetta

HB: Grimes, McDonald, Terlich

C: Watts, Cross, M. Jones

HF: Bail, Frawley, Kennedy-Harris

FF: Pederson, Dawes, Byrnes

FOLL: Jamar, Tyson, N. Jones

INT: Howe, Riley, Vince

SUB: Salem

EMERG: Clisby, Evans, Georgiou

Georgiou to stay in the team if Frawley doesn't get up, in which case we send Garland forward.

As Casey are playing that same day Georgiou should also be our non playing emergency. That way if Frawley is fit to play Alex would then get the week off just to make sure he's cherry ripe after his head clash and body slam.

In: Riley, Gawn and Garland

Out: Frawley, Georgiou (injured), Viney (HUNG OUT TO DRY)


Bubblewrap arm bands? Dont want to detract from the significance of this round but that would be funny...

Dunn Mcdonald Jetta

Grimes Geroriou Terlich

Vince N.jones M.Jones

JKH Pederson Bail

Garland Dawes Watts

jamar Tyson Cross

Howe Salem Byrnes

Riley

Best chance of winning this game is to stretch the bulldogs slightly weak defence, Watts did that last year and collected 3 votes.

Apart from Viney, there are a few with "injury watch" plus the apparently compulsory Mystery Injury of the Week which could make selection challenging.

All of Frawley, Watts, Georgiou and Jones are known to have had injury problems last week. Of them, I would expect Watts and Jones to play, but backs can be troublesome (ask Grimes and Hogan) and need to be treated with respect. Georgiou might have been rested anyway this week even without the head clash, although if Frawley's out perhaps without injury he would still have played.

I don't expect there will be any omissions. If there were none after the Sydney game, why would there be after last weekend, particularly if there are already some compulsory changes?

I think Gawn's time has come and that the Match Committee would like to see what he can do in the Seniors, so he'd be picked ahead of Fitzpatrick.

So, I suspect it will be Viney, Frawley and Georgiou out with Garland, Gawn and an available on baller (Riley?) in.

(Unless of course Viney appeals and wins.)

Corey Dell'Ollio got sighted off the video and got 3 weeks for rough conduct for contact with Michie which broke his jaw.

Managed to sneak the Terlich out again I see, I asked Dean about this at training on Tuesday, he says he knows you will never forgive him but he is ever so sorry he ran over your cat

lessoning his turnovers and starting to get drive from backline, big tick from me.

i also dont like cats,so dont have a problem with him running over the masters cat.

Actually he tried to run over my cat but lost confidence, missed and ended up smashing 20m away.

I like his hardness, I like his intercept marking, I like his tackling, but he's turning the ball over at an alarming rate and has lost confidence in his decision making and kicking which were a real feature of his debut year particularly the first half of the season.

Meanwhile Clisby has put together a composed month of football at Casey. It's not at all personal it's just time for a swap.

I am with you master. Terlich makes poor decisions and is not tight enough on his man.

Cross might find a bit extra to prove the doggies wrong tipping him for bog

So that's two of you, any more?

Others must disagree coz he was in about five or six of the published 'bests', he is trusted a lot with the kick ins and deservedly got a bake when he didn't follow instructiions a few weeks back, the exaggeration over his mistakes is just that...can't see him not being picked any time soon

I think Terlich bought himself a couple of more weeks in the seniors after the Adelaide game. But geez he was running out credits.

if anybody can find a no nonsense rugged MF to do a preseason and be willing not to shirk and issue.

then you will see him dumped from the list.

until then hes what we have to provide grunt down back until the club unearths some qualities players that can take this position off him.

Not sure if he'd do the preseason, but what about James Packer?

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
