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...

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
