Changes vs Cats

Featured Replies

What odds do I get for that?

Write your own ticket Al's Demonds.

But I suspect slightly long than 187

 

Probably going to the game courtesy of a Newtown mate based in Melbourne. Enjoy going across to the Sawyers Arms after the game and being taunted by 'Deliverance' types. No doubt next weekend will be no exception.

From memory, (either last season or the season before that), Richmond members/ supporters travelled down the highway and found that they were allocated 500 tickets for the game. May be more than ample for Dees members.

 

Pedersen out.

dawes in.

pedersen broken wrist according to doc larkins. Possible 6-8 week injury

Just our luck, hey?

I have read a few comments about bringing in King. this was his first week in the 1's vfl. Prior to his he has been in the development league.
I think we saw ANB experience a tough debut yesterday and perhaps he could have used a little more time in the vfl first.
Lets give max king a bit more time.


I hope Fitzy is right to go because I think he'd be important as the 2nd ruck which isn't really Dawes' go. He can play on Josh Walker and follow him in to the ruck (or Clark if he's back in).

Gawn's will have to be at his best to run around with Stanley (presuming he's fit) who destroyed Lobbe around the ground.

Watts and Vince are probably going to be tasked with minding Blicavs at stoppages and stopping his 3rd man up.

Just the one forced change - Dawes (yippee) for Pedo.

And start Riley as the sub.

King in is silly talk.

He will likely sneak a debut toward seasons end though.

I'd have to agree HH. Let's not leave the kid shell shocked. Perhaps let's see where we're at come the Carlton clash.

RTG where have you been?

Last weekend was one of a very few appearances by him for Casey seniors.

Can we let him settle at Casey seniors before we feed him to the lions or in this case the cats.

That will have the cats worried p-man

Most seem to think Dawes will come back in. Short memories IMO. Can any of the Casey watchers tell me if he has done enough at VFL to warrant selection? Has he taken a bunch of decent marks at Casey, kicked a bag of goals or got 25 possies? If not, pass.

As much as I hate to say it, I'd rather Jamar park his rrrse in the goal square and Hogan roam anywhere he wants in the forward half.

Another game another major injury. A great run we are having this season but it is much like many of our past seasons. I could cop this if the top sides were having similar injury runs but I never see that but perhaps by definition top sides are those with few injuries. However the top sides are the same ones that have been around for far too long.

F No. Jamar would be a bloody statue. Dawes can at least run, chase tackle and split the defence.

The other problem Bbo is there is no one else.

Can't play ANB and Stretch again this week. Ultimately, their selection - especially both at once - led us to being effectively two down. It wasn't their fault, they're just not ready yet.

I can probably cop it if one stays in - preferably Bill - but I'd much rather have bigger bodies in there.

Not sure how much game time he had MS, Inside Football said he took 3 marks and kicked 1 goal

I can't see many changes this week after a close game where we won the ball pretty well but struggled again to turn defence into attack.

Unlike many posters I thought Riley's last quarter was huge and given that both he and Neal-Bullen spent a lot of time as high half-forward, where the ball never seems to come swiftly, then you have to give them latitude for not clocking up the possessions of the others - same applies to Jeffy. One of them will probably be manned up by Enright in his 300th and both are tough tacklers so he better not hold on to it for too long - especially against Riley.

Obviously Pedo is out and while I'd prefer Fitzy to come in because he offers ruck relief which we may need, I suspect it will be Dawes.

I think Michie is probably the most likely out and based on our record of playing the 23rd the next week, I think Terlich might get his chance, although Bail has VFL form on his side.

Not sure why people think Stretch should be out - he was not bad for a third gamer and the big/wide Kardinia Park will suit him.

My guess is we'll go Terlich and Neal-Bullen will be sub, thereby increasing the likelihood of Enright having to mark Riley.

The key match-ups will be Bernie on Selwood and Grimes on Stevie J, while I actually reckon we may pull a swifty and get Jack Watts to pick up Blicavs around the ground and play Gawny as a floater.

The Cats' form of late has been good, but I hope our guys realise they are not the once feared side that they were.

Maybe.

Sooner or later we are going to have an amazing win thats going to turn the club around and fill the list with confidence.

We are draftong and developing all the right types of players the last couple of years .. compettive beasts who hate to lose and happen to be able to play the game . (Hogan, Angus, Vandenberg, Viney, Kent, Salem, T Mac etc etc)

Will that club defining win come this week? Probably not. But it will come.

Bring in fitzy, dawes needs to earn his call up

 

Where do I start Akum? Supporting Melbourne, it should come easily to you.

Its a bit like asking how does one write a realistic novel based on historical fact with a narrative about the juxtaposition of human joy and suffering. More of the latter than the former.

By the way I am quite good on relationships particularly those ending in separation and tragedy.

Great stuff H. You should write a book or two about it.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
