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...

    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
