I smell an upset as well. Go Dees

I have a feeling we are all going to be upset.

Next 3 weeks will be tough - all we can hope for is the boys don't drop their heads and go back into their shell like last year.

Well it took 5 rounds for us to bring a player in that likely wont be on the list next season and isn't part of the future

Usually we have 8 or 9 of those types in our Round 1 team as we start the season with a crushing defeat.

Things are so much nicer now.

The list is getting stronger. Our depth players are depth now, not best 22.

Grimes has his chance to show all supporters on here that he still has it. I hope Roos is right on this. Me I believe the game has gone past JG as he is no where stong enough and he is damaged goods due to the crap he has had to put up with during his career. I really hope he comes through.

i dont understand the problem, on the positive he's a great tagger & tackler, on the negative his disposal has been as bad as half our side for the majority of there careers, would we gain better disposal from who

I am sure that mcKenzie will compete well and play a role I am not so sure about Grimes

This is the first match that we will see Grimes and MacKenzie this year......All we have to go on, is last years form and like all our players was pretty average

After another preseason does anyone think that they might have improved as have the rest of the side???

How about we give them a go before ripping into them and tearing our hair out (Too late for me)

Hope both boys do well and contribute to the side.

Any Casey watchers out there able to explain McKenzie's roles for the first few games? Has he been tagging? Or has he been more of a inside mid? HBF/HFF? just wondering if they have been giving him a licence to actually play as opposed to just being a stopper

as I keep saying, we might find that these 2 players look considerably better simply due to the fact that team around them is no longer pitiful and getting smacked hard every week. It happens with good sides, ordinary players look better.

I agree, but we can't afford any more players of their quality in the side before things start going back to how they once were.

I thought Grimes did look an improved player during NAB Cup. If he picks up where he left off there then he'll do fine.

It's to his credit how he's taken playing at Casey in his stride. You could see in the rooms after both wins that he was genuinely rapt to get the win despite not being a part of it. Ultimate team player and clubman.

With their dangerous smalls, Jetta's omission will hurt, but Grimes will understand his role and for whatever his faults you know you will get 100% effort.

Dawes is out, Pedersen is in.

Read it here.

Wow.

Well, the depth is getting its first real test. Fortunate that Pedo is in decent form.

Dawes, Kent and Jetta all out from last weeks great win, Viney sidelined still.

Will be a miracle if we roll Freo

yep, agree with that too

Pedo will have a crack and he is a little better when it comes to being the second ruck. Hopefully he can bring something positive on Sunday.

Agreed. Also have a bit more confidence in his marking ability. But Dawes did set the tone early last week, along with Kent. It will be up to others to do that this week.

Dawes arms are probably sore from taking a few marks last week - those muscles have become deconditioned

The good is we have players coming in who have shown consistent form at Casey. They will know if they don't perform they will be the first ones out of the side. Truthfully if I had a choice of a bad injury patch over the next three weeks against top sides or later on against the sides outside the top 4 I will take it now.

Pedo has real chance to lock down a spot for at least a month with both Frost and Dawes out. He needs to bring some real aggression to his game.

so, anyone know dawes's malady?

Calf.

And they have only Dawson out.

Not only are they great, but at full strength, while we are not.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
