    Dawes in the back line is interesting.

    There are a lot of talls playing and the conditions will be wet on Sunday

    Is Matt Jones the first player ever to miss 3 weeks with general soreness?

    Bit disappointed Hulett's been managed this week. His form has been on the steady improve so would have liked him to keep playing. Rest him once he had a quieter week.

    As for the talls, i expect Dawes, the weed & King to all play forward withTim Smith (Casey vice captain) to play on a flank as a 4th tall as he's pretty mobile.

    Surely Frost will play back.

    Love to see Frost play back this week and see how he goes. If you havent read the de Stoop article on our future v St Kilda's it is worth a read and suggests that we dont have another A grader key back (yeah we know). So if we can develop Frost in this role it is very important. My only thought is that we were planning Frost to play forward in the pre-season because a) we hadn't drafted Weiderman and Hulett yet and b) we didnt know Watts was going to improve as he has. That gives us a lot of key forwards with Dawes and Pedo and not much up back. 

    Matty Jones must be really sore. No way he comes straight back into the 1's with 3 weeks off, so will put more pressure on his contract now as he has to break back in. With Jones, Salem, Brayshaw out and Michie, Stretch, and Oliver getting the call up to the 1's, it makes our 2's engine room look really light. Interesting to see what ANB and Trenners do this week considering that the Blues don't have an established midfield group. I know our boys are young, but the 2 of them just seem so much older than they are. Without the others (Michie etc) around the pack, will be nice to see Trenners, ANB and Grimes really play huge games.

    Need Dawes down back. Need depth there

    Why wouldn't we play O. McDonald there (and let Dawes play forward where he is accustomed)? Surely O. McDonald as a defender is more consistent with our long term future (considering the fact that both Weidman and Hulett were drafted asForwards)!

    Dont read too much into the positions listed. They had Grimesthorpe lining up at FF for a couple of weeks there

    disagree - Don't read ANYTHING into the positions listed

    Dawes will not play on the HBF.

    I am not usuallly a gambling man but would love to put my house and first born on Dawes lining up at CHF or FF ...

    One former vice captain and 2 former captains playing for casey. 

    What a world

    Newton is a nice addition to those guys. He has been working his way back into game time and form over last 3 weeks. Reckon his numbers will jump soon.

    Must admit i am very suprised ANB hasn't cracked a senior game yet, he seems to get to the top of the cue and someone else gets picked over him, must be incredibly frustrating.

    Perhaps he need to join the queue instead.

    Sorry about that, my autocorrect is shocking at the minute.

    Nothing would surprise me - Jetta on Reiwoldt (at times) just boggled my mind completely.

    interesting to me is i don't think Reiwoldt took advantage of it - he played really well but his damage was not on the much shorter Jetta as i would have expected.

    So true, the bubble can burst so easily for players. And like many things, everyone has their use-by-date. You can't help but think that these 3 may all be gone season end. i hope for Trenners but time is running out for him as well.

    St Kilda defence played rings around ours. They were chopping and changing so much that Jetta, Dunne and McD had no idea and completely lost contact - result one of the smallest players on the field left to defend against one of the tallest. Really frustrating to watch but so obvious that I wondered why wasnt the runner out. St Kilda must have been licking their lips - easy pickings.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
