That doesn't excite me at all oh god! We were hopeless in the vfl last week. And we make so many changes.. Dawes has an iffy calf yet we will use him as second ruck.. When hawthorn are playing 2 ruckman.. Oh well hope we are competitive at least!

IN

  • Jack Grimes,
  • Rohan Bail,
  • Matt Jones

When I see these as "ins" it worries me.

Hopefully they take their chance this time and perform but I'm not confident.

Time will tell.

I don't understand dropping Watts this week and not last week. What was the point having him on the bench last week? He did reasonably when he came on. I wonder what he was expected to do last week to justify being selected this week.

Roos knows we're going to lose to hawthorn. These players that have been brought in are on their last try out. They will be delisted or traded at year's end unless they can show something. He's giving them a last chance. Watts had to be dropped after multiple insipid performances.

Over the past few weeks I reckon we have been well beaten in the clearances particularly the centre, and hawthorn still have some elite midfielders there, so i can see why we have bought in the mids. I still think we are 1 tall short.

2:10 saturday arvo footy at the G 17 degrees and sunshine. Bring it on.

Grimes and Bail are not mids. M Jones is not anything except a nuff nuff turnover king. Michie might be a mid (maybe).

Worried about the ruck with Pedersen going out and Spencer retaining his place. Gawn/Fitzpatrick really need to pull their fingers out at Casey, there's spots available in the ones, put your hands up fellas.

I thought the outs were justified.

Don't really like the ins but maybe Kali has got it right.

Last chance saloon for our underachievers.

Given the dry conditions forecast, I still think there's some chance that one of Gawn or Pederson will come in and a late change, most likely Tyson (knee) will happen.

Otherwise we are majorly at risk should Spencer go down given that they have two genuine ruckmen.

The other comment is that based on team selected, you'd have to think that Howey will be the surprise third tall forward with Lumumba playing as the third-man up down back.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
