Its time to get serious with Viney, Garlett, Tyson, Jetta are all best 22 and need to play prior to Round 1, if fit.

Assuming Lewis out only, with Harmes and ANB to recover and play.

B: Jetta - O Mac - Hibberd
HB: Vince - Lever - Brayshaw
C: Jones - Salem - Hunt
HF: Petracca - Hogan - Melksham
F: Bugg - T Mac - Garlett
Foll: Gawn - Oliver -  Viney

I/c: Harmes - Tyson - ANB - Hannan - (Maynard - Pedersen)
 

Emerg: Kent - Frost - JKH - Wagner - Stretch - Fritsch

ANB and Viney won't play. Possibly Fritsch & Kent

Last I’ll say on this but maybe they were happy with the progress he had made over the last 4 days so they go him out for some gentle straight line running. Not that hard to comprehend.

"Lewis, ANB running laps and 400m semi sprints. ANB looks to be moving ok."

Was one of the best trainers at the club in his first year. Since then - just hasn't wanted it enough IMO. Should be right up the front of the running groups instead of just another also ran. Goodwin showed him a lot of faith last year, picking him as soon as he was fit, same with ANB. ANB rewarded that faith getting super fit and giving his all on game day. Jay knows where the footy is going and can be a beautiful kick. With some toughness and real desire he could be a handy high half forward despite his lack of size and only average pace.

I remember I'd see him out on the town a fair bit (in my and his younger days). Not that he'd be doing anything wrong but some guys desperately want an AFL career, others are so good or so bad it doesn't matter and some have enough talent and work hard enough to stay on the list but not to really get the most out of themselves.

I think the biggest problem with JKH is that he has been playing a lot of inside mid minutes at Casey, which as we know, is a tough position to crack in to at senior level.

It does appear to me that the days of playing someone in a certain position at Casey, then picking them in a totally different position in the senior are over.  This is a good thing, but also can show how far off a player is, even if they are performing well at Casey.

Goody is after flexibility/adaptability in each player.  That said, the primary focus for all of his players is contested ball, so if they can't get it at senior level, they will spend plenty of time at Casey.  It takes someone that is excellent in their role to be excused (ie Jeffy).

Nibbler doesn't have a strained groin and he is playing tonight?

You know what.. You're not worth the effort. I actually enjoyed reading the majority of your posts, but the way you have gone after me for providing information because you weren't privy to it is nothing short of juvenile. "I didn't tell you all that, Nibbler didn't tell me that, it can't be true".

Scene: Family Day. Families and kiddies are gathered around players, chatting, getting autographs. Alex Neal-Bullen is among them.

A grizzled old supporter with a tic in one eye, and wearing a beanie, scarf, training jumper, duffel coat with Jack Mueller's number on the back, and club tie, limps near. It is The Satyr.

The Satyr: Alex!

(Everyone looks up. The kiddies flee in terror.)

ANB: (thinks) It's this guy again! The one who's always at training. What's he doing here? Why won't he leave me alone?

ANB: (aloud) G'day mate. Great to see you. Hope you're having a good--

The Satyr: I have this medical invoice I found in the dumpster behind the AAMI centre. It mentions an order for 100 boxes of linament and bandages. Items usually required to treat injured groins! I want to know everything that's going on with your groin, and I mean everything.

ANB: (thinks) Got to get away ... fast!

ANB: (aloud) All good, mate. Everything's fine. It's fine. It's good. It's .... fine. All fine.

The Satyr: Thank you. That's just what I was expecting to hear. (Gets out clipboard, ticks box, makes note. Looks around for Jordan Lewis.)

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
