Yeah. Another selection tick from the committee. Rewarding players who perform. They'd better give ANB his go though.

I'm wondering if someone can answer this as I haven't been au fait with the rookie rules for some years. We already upgraded Wagner, doesn't that mean someone has to be added to long term injury list for Michie to get a spot? Is King that?

    Get to upgrade one at start of season and we also get to upgrade one to replace Melksham I believe

     

    ed. Good luck to Viv

    That's a fantastic effort - hopefully Jetta mrk 2.

    Very well deserved. ANB and Viv have been consistently good at Casey and both deserve a shot.

    Oliver surely comes back in as well.

    Agree wholeheartedly!  Very happy for Viv, and really hope he takes this second chance (third chance if you count Freo as his first...) with both hands and, like Nev, pay back the Footy Dept's faith in him by becoming an important part of the team.

    The way I read it Dappa is that we had one spot to upgrade, which was Wagner, then we've got two guys out for the year in King and Melksham, who can also be replaced?
    Very confusing when they frequently change rules on the fly.

    So this would suggest he's getting a game this weekend? Maybe emergency?

    you don't get upgraded to be emergency. he's in count on it

    I hope ANB gets a game, he has been consistently in the best and keeps getting passed by others...

    He'd have every right to be disappointed if he missed out again.

    May come in for Pedersen?

    By delivering pin-point bullet passes to his team-mates, maybe...?

    Oh dear. I hope he doesn't cop a ban. Anything but that.

    I kind of understand the "btdt" attitude of those above, but he's been consistently in the Casey best all year, and apparently killed it this week playing on a HBF. Read the Plapp report, it was as glowing they come. And it just so happens, we have a HBF vacancy this weekend.

    The guy has well and truly earned another shot. How about getting on board and showing some support?

  • Quote

    He'll play half back this week then. Good luck to him and I hope he plays well for us. We need some tight defenders who know when to run off and attack. Maybe he can become a key for us?

  • Quote

    Michie has been in and out of the seniors many times in the past,he probably is a good reserves player.Surely we need a defender,perhaps White would be the go.

    But the dream team?

    Balrick takes Darlings tunic?

    Oh.  Been there, done that.

    Grats Viv.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
