Probably been mentioned but on Footy Classified they showed Hogan at training hitting the tackle bags, though he was avoiding his collarbone in the footage they showed.

Doubt he plays this week but he looks keen as mustard, and might be a chance vs the Filth.  The kid wants to be on the field badly, you can tell he desperately wants to play finals.  More than anyone he deserves a happy ending to this season after the crap hes been through.

I don't think some of you can think clearly when it comes to Watts. Three months of good form is erased in 3 weeks of poor form. Idelogues have no place in Match Committee - unless the players se

Why is Watts required to have a "blinder" for Casey before being considered for selection? Nobody else has that requirement. Surely all he needs to do is demonstrate a willingness to contest most of t

Watts, no thanks. Earn it.

I just wonder if people would be so lenient with Weideman if we had lost the game.

I must have missed his efforts, I thought he was poor. 

He was poor. No question.

Pros: competed pretty well in the air (without marking the ball) and laid some good tackles. Good general pressure. One good lead that was honoured.

Cons: barely got a touch. After his nice lead turned the ball over with a poor inside 50 kick. Missed a gimme after a gift from max.

That said is suspect he will play again and jack will need to perform for casey and show real intensity to have a shot of playing against the pies. I'm ok with that decision, should it eventuate.

I hope jack does what he needs to do and replaces Weed for the pies game. Also hoping Hogan comes back soon.

Jack Viney on crutches is what is being reported on 9 News. Is he a chance to miss?

Been on crutches after every game sice he returned from surgery. Precautionary measure to help manage the wound before match day i believe.

Having said that, i would support giving him either the lions or pies games off to give him some extra healing time if possible

Take it fwiw but he said it was a different part of the foot

Out: Garlett - can't possibly just keep playing how he has been. Not attacking the ball. Making horrendous decisions with it. Missing simple shots. You can't take a small forward down on confidence and impact in to finals. Has to go back and get right in the 2's.

Out: Viney (rested/injured)

In: Stretch, JKH

Melksham goes in to the midfield to tag Zorko so we need the extra half forward in JKH. Stretch plays wing and Harmes/Hannan/Petracca move closer to goal.

If Hogan isn't all that far off I'd stick with the Weid. Give him a go against younger opponents. If not I'd bring Frost in and decide based on match ups if Frost should play forward or back. He's not a forward but I think he can offer something in the 2nd tall forward role as a pressure and physicality player. That's all we want from the second tall.

Garlett will not be dropped.

Maybe, but I can all but guarantee he doesn't touch it in a final. 

His efforts have been insipid of late. Absolutely no interest in winning the ball under any physical pressure.

What a load of rubbish.  He has had a couple of down weeks and it's seems to have fallen in line with the death of a family member.

His tackle numbers have dropped away since mid year. The clangers are rising. And the physical play has been non existent for most of the year.

Yeah the worst of the weeks have been the last two but that doesn't mean you get a free pass. If he's flying back and forward across the country that's more reason not to play him. 

Small forwards who don't lay tackles and don't play with physicality have been found out in finals over and over again. Garlett has two weeks to show he won't be one of them and I'd rather he earned his spot back to do it. Just like Watts should be/is doing.

I agree Jeffy hasnt been brilliant but he is far from our worst. If we had a fully fit Hogs and a confident Watts it would make is role a lot easier.

When you see someone on crutches due to a foot injury usually you see them with a moccasin or a thong on the sore foot.

From the news footage Viney had both feet in shoes/runners which indicates to me it's purely keeping some weight off.

Club expects him to play according to the AFL site.

He didn't sound confident when interviewed.  Looks like he might miss

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
