He improved this year too. He was brilliant against the Dogs adn Cats earlier in the season.

They're all being given their last run before being shown the door.

I don't know if Grimes is contracted for next year but I reckon he'll be given another run around. He's been serviceable in recent weeks without setting the world on fire.

I really hope there's another good cull this off season of NQRs, hoping for an aggressive trade period as well.

On this match, I just want the non-negotiable's. Tackling, effort, not giving up, hard running etc. All things we haven't seen in the last couple of weeks, I really thought we were past the point of "just wanting an effort", but here we are again. What I would really love to see is us tackling them to hurt, basically what we were doing earlier in the year. They've got to consider finals in a few weeks so start hitting them hard and they might go into self-preservation mode.

(Is that positive enough?)

I have the same feeling as before the Geelong and Collingwood games (WHICH WE WON). Whenever theres been this much criticism of us this year we've actually played well, hence why I think we'll win. Another record to fall!

I'm genuinely worried this will be a 150+ point loss.

Only on D'land !

The same Riley who in four games this year has a total of 36 possessions, 5 tackles and 7 clearances?

Yep, that'll make a difference.

Hes a spud. Can only tackle and thats it.

Exactly like Jordie Mckenzie.

You wouldn't perhaps be baiting someone?

Not at all. Seriously he is a tackler and thats it. Doesn't have pace, disposal is pretty average, and doesn't have the tank to play full time midfielder. When he gets picked he plays up forward because cannot simply cannot run a game out. Unfortunately that would probably be due to his leg injury but he will be gone at years end.

Good Casey player though. Its a pity because he was one player i really wanted to make it. Was happy when we picked him up but he has done SFA.

Couldn't agree more, McKenzie clone, has the guts and the hardness but bugger all else.

We're a sneaky chance tomorrow. I can't believe I said that.

Ha ha We have NEVER beaten a Ross Lyon coached side.

We are a better chance to be 8 goals to 1 down like the last 3 weeks running. Roos has 'em really fired up this week. I am sure they'll come out and play like maniacs. If only those damned supporters wouldn't be so negative...

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
