Ok my update...

In: Watts, Hogan

Out: Salem, O McDonald (rested ;) )

T McDonald back to defence to play on Buddy or Reid.

There's some strong logic in that notwithstanding that Oscar has been steadily improving in his position

That being said, we've played our best footy all season when we've played 2 tall forwards and 1 ruckman. We've been able to get our run and carry game going. Will be interesting to see if they continue that if Hogan gets up

Also bare in mind they've got Buddy, Reid AND a resting ruckman up forward (Tippett/Sinclair)

The definite changes are Watts in and Salem out.

If Garlett's not fit, I think we see Watts and Wagner replace Salem and Garlett.

If Garlett is fit, I think we'll see one more change and depending on who goes out, I think we'll see one of Wagner, JKH or Kent (with the idea being to freshen the legs up and avoid being overrun in the fourth).

With the history Salem has with hamstrings I don't think they'll risk him. 4 weeks sounds right. Back fresh for finals!

Hopefully Jeffy and Hannan pull up and Watts is fit. 

I think some fresh legs won't hurt. I thought Stretch was good and he looked full of running in the last, no coincidence. With Casey in good form, do we bring in some fresher legs this week?

I really worry we won't be able to sustain a 4 quarter effort again after another 6 day break plus a long road trip. Players looked absolutely stuffed last night!

I reckon three to four changes this week we need legs at 100% against the swans on the G .

You want Bugg Out?? You must be joking??!  He adds the Rod Grinter/ Byron Picket effect to our footy club!  Tough, hard as a cats head and can play. Ok misses a few goals but he is one of the reasons we are combining so well as a team. He stays as long as he keeps the same intensity! A big like for me!:P

We must be watching different games, Byron Pickett effect... ?

I agree we should make some changes just based on then fatigue factor. We have basically a 5 day turn around from WA. Stupid FIXturing by the AFL yet again. Casey have had some standouts in the past few weeks so we should look at JKH and Kent to add some fresh legs. If Watts doesn't get up we need to look at Weeds but I would rather he played a few more games at Casey.

If Hogan comes back this week, I would go with Tom Mc, Watts, and Hogan forward with Tom doing the ruck work backing up Gawn.

That would mean Pedersen out. Or does Oscar go? Frost is too important as a spark off HB. The fact that Frost is minded by a lazy tall forward makes him a weapon - tall forwards don't chase...

The forward planner in me says it is easy - Pedersen has a year or two tops, but the coach in me likes what he brings around the ground.

Still, he would make way should Hogan get up IMO.

Crazy talk, Pedo is our talisman. He stays in and plays forward ruck. T Mac to go back to defence, and drop OMac. (He's had a good taste of the seniors which will serve his development well, but lets face it, this season just got serious in a big way. We're in it up to our necks for the top 4!

Go Dees!

Probably go an extra tell in the fwd line as Sydney LOVE to clean up long bombs down the line and re-load. An extra tall will make us more competitive in the air so our smalls can buzz around and crumb. Risky one as our spread has been so good but I'd make it Pedo, Hoges and Watts (if fit) in the fwd line with T-Mac down back. Probably means Oscar might be dropped, although Sydney play with 3 talls. Selection will be impossible until we know who's fit

 

Kent to come in if Garlett can't play

Kent could play Garletts role - jkh has been playing mid and looks damaging attacking from behind the ball - if Hannans sore id play the Weed , i reckon Watts will miss as will Hogan our cautious fitnees guru in Misso .

Watts in to play his 150 at home. Harmes may have to make way

Hogan in if right. Oscar to make way..... Tom to go into the backline

JKH in to replace Bugg. he has a bit more pace,

What does everyone think about sneaking Hogan back low key on a Friday night in a match against the other form team of the competition? I would be holding him back one more week.

I think that if he is ready, why not?  Do you think he will be overawed??

Stupid or bloody minded?

I trust the selectors, now.  Hope they are sure about Jeffy though if they play him.....cannot afford him being unable to run...would prefer Kent or JKH if Jeffy is not 100%

MCG expecting 55k this week 

I'll be staggered if there's not at least 50,000 there , 75% of whom will be screaming for the deees .

No chance Weideman comes in, let him consistently dominate in the VFL, plus he wouldn't get a game anyway.

He was great on Saturday. Let him kick a few more bag fulls, let him grow in confidence and strength. He certainly showed on Saturday he can kick, he can mark, he can bustle. He will be a gun.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    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.
