    True jnr.  We shouldn't be looking too far ahead.  It was in response to another comment and snowballed from there.

    I actually think on the narrower ground we are a chance to beat them.

    We don't do well on expansive wings... Odd really ?

    Maybe that's the crux of our failure...we need to think 2 weeks at a go.....no ?

    Well done JKH, you have earned another shot.

    Dont like Vince and Lewis in the same team, however.

  • Quote

    Bernie I can understand, JKH on the other hand. Has he ever taken that step from VFL to AFL?

    Always seems so slow. Happy to be wrong, but he seems another too good for 2nds/not good enough for 1sts that we seem to have attracted over the years.

    Vince imo should be playing a tagging role stop getting viney to do it, macrae comes to mind for vince

    Sensible changes.  With Frost now in the side, Vince for J Smith is the right move, and while I'd normally not be a fan, I'm happy to see the club reward JKH for his good form in the magoos and I think he's the logical replacement for Stretch.  He can play that role better than the others at Casey, especially someone like Tyson.

    They have lost Bont but regained Macrae which kind of cancels each out.  We should roll them without too many problems.

    Lose this and we are stufft although the StKilda loss probably meant we were anyway. We will have to win well coz we are going to get a hammering down at Geelong.

    We'll smash Geelong. Bookmark it.

    Happy to have Vince back, not sure who he's replacing down back that's currently available. Wagner?

    Also pleased to see them giving JKH a go. As above, Last Chance Hotel, but at least no-one will die not knowing.

  • Quote

    Glad JKH is given a shot. Trains extremely hard and must know that this is he's last shot at it.

    Grab it with both hands JKH!

  • Quote

    Underwhelming selections we are decidedly slower. Don't like it where is the ginger ninja?

  • Quote

    Hopefully Macrae is a little underdone. The talk was that he was going to return next week.

    At Casey where, for now, he belongs.  There is no need to blood him with 7 weeks left and finals on the line unless we absolutely have to.  I can understand the changes being underwhelming for some, but they make the most sense.

    Tom McDonald named on the wing again. I thought Goodwin had gotten that idea out of his system. Better not line up there. A complete waste of time.

    Just reward for JKH's effort and good form at Casey, as it was for Billy last week.  It's now up to Jay to replicate his VFL form at the next level.  It's his spot to lose for the rest of the year and beyond, and we'd all love to see him take it with both hands.

    Great to see JKH in the team. I like his aggression, hope he becomes the pest that Bugg used to be. Can see him working welll alongside Garlett. Five goals between them.

    Vince will be a known quantity bringing a bit of contol to our back play. 

    Will be going in a little smaller in the backline. Hope Oscar Mc and Frosty can neutralize or win the high ball

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
