Outside the box - Bernie.

Bernie on Stringer or Bont. Bugg takes the other. It is a mental thing, Bernie and Bugg are the anti-dote to certain types. Bernie smashed Dangerfield last year and Bont is of similar type (mentally). So is Stringer. Its simple really, disrespect the narcissist types early in the peace.

I'll pick him up up from his home and drive him to Etihad - that should do the trick.

We ain't the only Club with this worry. Jetts might have the toe but could be out marked. Garland and above height wise can't keep pace with him.  Start Jetta and see how it pans out. The best de

Have any of you watched us play all year? He won't have a direct opponent. He will kick 4-5, all out the back and mostly on a mis-match with Jetta. 

But I'm not worried about him at all. The midfield pressure and forward press will mean far more to the result of the game than who is nearest Stringer when the ball gets out the back.

Fair call. Let them worry about our midfield. Push it forward and put their undermanned backline under the pump.

Agreed. Get into him early physically and verbally and he'll be standing there for the rest of day, holding his package.

From memory Bernie played on Bont in our win against the Doggies last year with a great deal of success, including catching him holding the ball and kicking the sealer in the last. More of that please.

Yes yes yes

Frost was recruited EXACTLY to match up on players like Stringer. Yet MFC wanted to develop as a forward (when we have 4-5 key forwards).

Frost needs to be in to match up with players like Riewoldt, Lynch, Daniher (all who have beaten Tom Mcdonald this year).

 

Frost is picked in defence for Casey. Maybe they are finally going to try him there.....

Frost will soon become a decent forward/defender,his confidence may be a little low due to a long lay off. The Melbourne Football team is still short on quality players. Our opponent do not have a quality defence themselves. Whilst Stringer and co.may be standouts  we also have our share of standouts. The Dees to win in an upset.

Bernie to Bont. Garland to Stringer. Beat them at the contest we will get it inside 50 enough to win and win well. 

Hard to get a feel for how good the dogs are until you play at the home of football (Sydney a good example last night).

What I do know is if player don't perform there are 4-6 ready and able to take their place.

MFC & Frawley made him a household name 

Didn't do much else that game. Averaged 15.5 possessions against us last year.

Stringer is the bigger worry for us.

Vince to shut down Bont like he did at the G last year.

Stringer needs close attention. When they played Hawthorn Stratton wore him like a glove all day. Whoever we send to him, whether Garland or TMac, should just run with him all day. I worry that with a zone defence Stringer will use the open spaces to do what he likes.

Yes, because the umpires were clearly seduced by that goal.

Most match reports had him amongst the top 5 best but nowhere near BOG.

17 touches, 3 marks, 2 goals. There was at least 5-6 players better than him that day.

But hey, we better watch out for Jamar next time we play Essendon, he got 2 Brownlow votes that day...

    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
