18 players available that is a very strong team I think we will give Coburg a 100 point thumping. 

Extremely strong side. Should be a very convincing win, especially with players pressing for senior selection.  Kent and Frost's good form was rewarded with selection this week, so players must perform if they hope to play with the seniors.  Hopefully Brayshaw can play well.

 

That could go close to beating the seniors.

Will be interested to see who puts their hand up for selection.

Keen to see if Spargo makes an impact.


Anyone know why Jack Hutchins our skipper isnt playing at the moment? Injured?

First time in possibly ever I can remember the entire starting 18 being MFC listed players.

I wonder when people saw Lewis playing for Casey they hoped it was Jordie and not this Lewis.

I believe Hutchins had surgery over the off season, so he's still probably a few weeks away.

Really should be an absolute belting by Casey. Coburg played against Frankston in an unofficial praccy match during the Pre-Season, which Frankston won, and since Casey beat Frankston by 111 points..... things could get ugly for the Lions. 

This game will be broadcast by Casey Radio on 97.7 FM or over at http://www.3ser.org.au/ from 12.50 pm on Sunday, so if you can't make the game be sure to listen in.

I think you're getting Corey mixed up with Josh...

Was Corey the one who played for North?

18 MFC players named plus the 22 for the seniors leaves very few out injured. That's a great position to be in at any time of the season. Part of the reason for Richmond's success last year was having few injuries. As a consequence they not only won the Premiership but their VFL team came second.

We've just got to hope it stays like that towards the pointy end, the Tigs only had 1 player from memory on the injury list come late last season/finals and I don't think he was anywhere near best 22. Pity that Viney and TMac are part of our 4 injured, as they are automatic best 22.

Can't ever recall a start to the season where we've had 40 players to chose from?

Tell him to miss a week, if its that close to not right.  He's at the beginning of a long career, hopefully.

Don't want it to linger thru the early part of season, which can inturn put stresses through other areas of the feet & legs.

Is Gus out of contract? 

Yes

Hope they wake up and play Brayshaw. He is AFL quality. Do not want a young star to decide his future is elsewhere.  He would slot into Vince or Lewis role or Salem.   Not sure how much Angus has to do.

sadly this game won't tell us much about form

will be like a training run with witches hats given they were beaten by the frangas

Prepare yourself, he might not be a Dee long term.

Corey is on the bench and not in the starting 18!

Based on last years Casey form I'd expect Munro, Gent, Scott and White to get the bench spots.

No Ed Morris on the bench from  either?

Wagner should get a game ahead of Munro.

I've tried mate haha but after 6 months of not playing a proper game he's keen to run out round 1 and I don't think I'll change his mind

its in the hands of the physio staff now

Seriously, you don't play someone because you're scared they will leave if you don't.

His opportunity will come and he will have to step up and take it...

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
