Why not? As I stated earlier, if we don't, that allows Hooker to play forward or (which I didn't say earlier) frees Hurley up. I'm not necessarily yet convinced we should play three tall forwards, but I certainly think it's something to consider.

Also to that point, Hogan is killing it wherever he goes right now and has a massive tank along with tmac. Tmac(if fit)/weed CHF/FF respectively with Hogan high up the ground/midfield is not that bad of an option at all. Bring in Hannan and Fritsch who can hit the scoreboard and I assume Lewis will return. 

I understand too much Hogan in the middle could be a problem for him and the team but what's so bad about having him as a link man on the wing? He has the marking and foot skills might straighten us up in transition.

Spargo's VFL form has been better than Hannan's do you consider him?

Yeah he is in the mix for sure.  with only a couple of games out of the juniors I figured he'd be given more time at casey but we could do with some youth and spark!  I hear he has some mongrel too which we could use with Kent out of the team

Question for the regular Casey watchers:

How are Baker, Balic, Spargo,  Keilty  and Petty progressing in their respective roles?

Are any of them near ready and if so what roles?

 

Thanks

Baker is playing a sort of wingman who rebounds from half back role, kind of hard to pin point. He has shown some great signs but still needs work 

Balic is doing a medium forward/midfield role. Think ANB/Kent sort of thing. Again showed good signs but still progressing.

Spargo is a similar role to Balic but more forward. Crafty player but a long way off AFL

Keilty and Petty are both Tall KPDs. Both had poor games on the weekend but Keilty should be able to come into form over the next few weeks, he’s been carrying a couple of niggles and a sickness, once he gets over those he SHOULD be in contention for AFL selection, hopefully. Petty is just behind Keilty in his developement buy doing okay.

None are ready for AFL just yet.

 

 

Good post Drunkn and accords with my observations from the matches I have seen.

Pity that the Geelong game this Saturday night is followed the next week with a bye for Casey.

lets be honest, he has never had polish,  and i don't want him out of the square.. just higher than the defensive 50. I would love him to recapture this rebounding best, but maybe as circuit breaker freshen up, get him up the ground.

So, let's split the difference and suggest that Hunt should spend time on the wing. I can definitely support that.

Very damning for Pederson

Be interesting if McDonald gets a run McDonald weideman forward, hogan plays mid high half forward, not sure bombers have someone to go with him

Unless we cop a few injuries I think he has played his last game, I would say he would be aware of this 

Will be an interesting interchange selection this week given who has been named. 

Charlie Spargo, Bayley Fritsch, Mitch Hannan, Tom McDonald, Jeff Garlett, Timothy Smith, Josh Wagner, Joel Smith. Not a lot of midfield cover there.

From that list I would imagine one of either McDonald or T. Smith, Either Wagner or J Smith (I would expect Wagner to be there) and then two of the remaining 4. maybe Fritch and Spargo?

  • 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.
