Lack of height killed us last week

Harmes is probably on notice for those 2 momentum killing turnovers in the second half last week.

20 points up with all the momentum and he finds a Port player at our half fwd. That is what's keeping him from being a serious player.

He lets us down a lot with these poor decisions & execution. I was annoyed when he turned it over as it changed the momentum of the game. Him & Hannan need 2 improve their kicking or play at Casey

Extremely strange as they saw what it did to us last week.

I wonder if TMac is pulling out and they will play Spargo.

If he doesn't start improving he could be the next big name to be dropped.

I fear it'll take a quiet word from Saty and the promise of a few photos on here

Was named in our bests 3 of the first 4 and then the finger issue. Should have missed two-three weeks minimum but stupidly played through and has not recovered his touch or confidence. Was looking good quarter 1 last week settled back as a pure forward. I expect him to get back to something like his best this one.

Odds on Saints $6.05. I don't think they'll win, but very juicy odds.

Now $7, and Melbourne into $1.10. Is it just me or do these odds seem a little skewed? Saints coming off a bye and morale boosting win, Dees off 2 losses. Certainly the punters out there fancy us!

Talked to him already, as per the article, he knows he drifts out of games and needs to put the same effort in for 4 qtrs, knows he has the ability, just getting the application going

On that note, expect the big angry bear called Hogan, to be just that on Sunday

No, we will smash them.

The Freo game in Darwin next week is where the value is if you're a betting man.

I noticed that Pedo Bear lined up for Casey this afternoon, so it's probably reasonable to assume that Tom Mac got through his fitness test this morning, and will play against the Saints tomorrow.

Edit:  unless they go with only two talls and Charlie Spargo .

If Tom Mac plays, we have again gone in without a crumber.  Tigers have 5 of them in the F50 and we have none. Now who is playing the better style of footy.

Im struggling to really understand the brilliance of our ploy to essentially play one style ...and then start withdrawing essential elements of that design.

Odd

With Geelong going down this makes this game so important. I think a few of the make the 8 teams could drop games. We simply need to win the next 3. 

All we need this year is to make the eight. It will assist in attracting players to the club. 2019 will be our big year!

I may be alone but i don't see making the eight as a walk up.

If our game is so much about our inside50's...our pressure to keep it in there then you need the likes of spargo...i would have thought.

Our fwd structure is awkward and incomplete.

Saints might surprise us.

If the Saints surprise us it will be a dead set disgrace because they are pathetic.

We are not the Tigers, so there is no point setting up the same way.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
