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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
