A shame. Players have a way of going up a gear against their old mob. Hopefully whoever comes in can get the job done.

If Carlton really are into JKH it might be worth showcasing him against them to try and drive up his trade value.

Er, or not.

Sure, with finals on the line, blow the cobwebs off a guy who hasn't played all year.

Last I heard was that players earned promotion to the ones by performing consistently well at Casey. JKH has done exactly that by accumulating high numbers of possessions and kicking goals in recent performances (best on ground last weekend I believe?). So if Garlett is not fit to play against Carlton, then why shouldn't he get his just reward?

If he plays a senior game now he will not be able to play finals with Casey as I understand the rules.

Really, I wouldn't have thought he'd played enough games in the ones this year to invoke that rule (has he played any?). I would have thought that as far as Casey is concerned, us playing ANB would possibly preclude him?

He's had about two games back at Casey, and we have about 8 other players who have been consistently picking up 30+ touches in the same games, and have much better form over the rest of the season.

Not that hard to work out, I wouldn't think.

That's great, but do they play the same position as Garlett?  To me, none of ANB, Newton, Trengove etc. play a similar role to the one Garlett gives us.  Kennedy and JKH are the two that come to mind.  I would have thought Kennedy would still be ahead as he is still playing some good footy for Casey, but JKH may not necessarily be too far behind in playing that high half forward role.

As I understand it hardtack if you have played a senior game you must then have played a min. of six games at Casey.

I think right now he has four games and with only two remaining a senior game will disqualify him from finals at Casey.

That assumes the seniors are not playing finals

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
