2 meter Peter can have crusty the clown on him if we stop it from getting in there.

When we ask who is going to match up on Peter Wright, if going by last week ......nobody, it seems backman don't get to close to their respective forward these days anyhow, all that zoning seems to be the norm

2 meter Peter to kick a game high 6 goals. No surer thing.  

We've seen how well our team Defence has worked against genuine talls. 

I hope this isn't a game we lose at the selection table again.

That side has a lot of wet behind the ears kids. Not a lot of experience on the back line particularly the HBL.

Two of them were very ordinary last week and the other was average at Casey.

Does not fill me with confidence.

Our offense, mainly Kent and Garlett, better be firing on all cylinders this week because I've got big concerns about our defense. Could well be a shoot out if Lynch is firing.

Lynch must think it his birthday.

The only danger to him is he might fall over laughing at that defence and injury himself.

Harmes still in the team. Can someone tell me what position he is supposed to be playing? With Kent, kennedy and Garlett, surely its not in the forward line and i dont think his disposal is clean enough to play midfield. Any explanation will be appreciated

Jesus Chris why the [censored] was Dunn and Frost both dropped?

we are already being destroyed by tall forwards and the selectors decide that Michie and Stretch are better suited. FMD

Don`t mind these changes at all but ANB must have some lewd photos of Roos

Isn't that when you get games you don't deserve? 

I agree that ANB is stiff though (keeping the lewdness theme going).

Not our strongest looking team. I am very surprised that Wagner held his spot, but Roos rarely drops someone after 1 poor game. Our defence looks short but reading the VFL player ratings from last week, there was a big rap on Omac so he could be a late inclusion. 

Thinking about ANB,  Dunn, Garland... it is clear that the normal publicly available stats are not what puts a player up for consideration. There are other internal measures being used by the coaching staff. I just wish I knew what these meaures are.

I love the midfield with Oliver back in it.

Defender Oscar McDonald, utility Alex Neal-Bullen and former co-captain Jack Grimes have been named emergencies.

Maybe some late changes

 

Seems JG's papers are stamped.

If you cannot get a game when two key defenders are dropped and another three were bloody awful then will you ever?

Can Michie play down back at all?

Read the Casey Player review for this week. BOG off the HBF 

Viv Michie: Arguably our best player, Viv had 35 possessions, nine inside 50s and three effective tackles. We played Viv in a number of different roles and he took those challenges head on. We’ve got some fantastic results from him playing those roles we’re asking him to play. He had a really clear appetite for the contest and used the ball well. Viv’s really damaging when he gets his hands on the ball. I thought Viv was fantastic on the weekend.

Wouldn't be suprised to see Garland back in this week. We were undermanned down back last week. Michie is logical replacement for Salem as his played that half back role at casey and done well.

May need to drop one of Frost or Pedersen as the Gold Coast will run us off our feet, I'd keep Pedersen as he provides a greater aerial threat & ruck option & actually kicks goals when he has a shot.. 

Gawn should be able to bounce back and dominate he inexperienced Currie and give our mids first use 

 

Are you todd viney?

Couldn't agree more. This has Essendon and Daniher written all over it again. IMO we are 1 tall short and I expect we will not win. Can only hope Oscar is primed to come in and I cannot understand why Harmes is selected after his efforts (or lack thereof last week) and ANB cannot get a game.

To me Harmes is the obvious choice to come out for ANB. He hasn't been terrible or anything but give him a rest, he's only 20. Would be part of healthy selection rotation.

Surely Harmes' last chance this week if he performs poorly again.

Who plays of half back this week? Jayden hunts will certainly get more time on the half back which makes up for lebumbas run and carry however hunt has poor decision making. salem decision making will be missed A LOT this week

To be fair, Peter Wright barely got near it last week and I don't believe Geelong has a backman who is comparable in height to him.

We just need to make sure we get our defensive positioning right and our mids work hard to put pressure on the ball when it's going forward.

Put your coin on Peter Wright for Rising Star this week.

Sure bet.

I'll be extremely [censored] if ANB ends up leaving for lack of opportunity. And then he dominates up in SA.

He hasn't earnt a game yet, simple. His pre season was poor and there is other players in front of him at this stage.

What's ANB got to do to get a game?

Be better than Viney, Jones, Vince, Oliver et al. 

Alternatively, he could kneecap one of them in the car park after training but it's highly unorthodox.

I think the outs all have a problem sticking tackles.

Aside from the concussed Salem who is extremely valuable to the team imho.

i think the ins,although smaller, will give us more around the packs.

Hunt and Harmes are going to be amazing players for us very shortly so I like their retention in the side.

On Frosty,He was stiff but we cannot tolerate continual basic errors, except from TMac .

On Hunt. - he is named on the wing and I think that's his spot.

Where is Matt Jones??? Not on injury list and not named in any team. 

Not the future.

    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.

    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
