Great to see a solid contingent of senior players watching the match from the sidelines too. 

How good is that photo? 

Looks freezing.

I hope Vince is under consideration for next week. I think he is still in our best 22.

Speaks volumes about our culture. I’m certain attendance wasn’t compulsory, yet less than 24 hours after a bruising game they turned up on a cold wintery day.

part of their icing down routine? or an alternative to a port melbourne beach early morning dip?

The cold weather will do them good.

Builds testosterone, and ups metabolic rate, and repairs.

Keep gargling 'warm salty water' boys.

Mitch King has been left out of the side for the second week in a row, this time at the expense of an undersized ruckman in Mykelti Lefau. I think his papers might have been stamped.

Agreed that together with Melbourne’s interest in North Melbourne’s Brayden Preuss, this suggests that both King and Filipovic are on shaky ground.

We were tested and tried but were held on!!!! Bring on the Grand Final!!!!

Just FYI Keilty copped a decent knock to the hip in the first that’s why he might’ve seemed underdone for the game 

[What 18,810]

Well done Casey.   We will win the Grand Final, the Demons dont lose at Etihad.

Gee wouldn't that be something if Bernie got back into the senior team.  He was retired a few weeks ago.

How many will DJ get for the swinging arm? 

Great effort by the Casey boys, I watched the middle part of the game but had to go player with the kids, the umpiring was terrible. Glad to see we came over the top after the fl ogs got a little away.

I looked at that many times SloMo. The player has started to dispose of the ball the very same time DJ was starting his hard swing-arm tackle.

The essendon players arms were outstretched forward after flicking a handball... and I think from what I saw, it appears DJ was aiming at the collar bone chest area, and it road up the essendon players upper arms.

Clipping him to the chin/upper chest.

 

After studying the replays, I don't think DJ was going for the chin, but fate took it.

Dj looked stunned, stopped, as the player went down, then moved towards the play and was attacked from behind by only one opposition player.

He wasn't prepared for attack from behind, and was sort of in an 'innocent of mind' state.

No sure if Bernie will get a chance for two premiership chances.  Maybe take Bugg as emergency to Perth, then fly back that night

I don’t think the Captain had a stat.

Ok so Tmac has a Raiders top and some one else has a Seahawks beanie... Not. Happy. Jan.

[DeeZone 7,661]

Another great effort Casey Demons, thanks to KC, drunken167, WJ and all other posters. It wasn't sounding to good at certain stages of the game but the boy's stood up once again, only one more win required.

 

Go Casey.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Dee's.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what support from the Dee's players.

I doubt now there will be any change for the Eagles game

[Little Goffy 12,507]

Nice to know we've got a couple of players still pushing for selection.

A little part in the back of the minds of JKH and Vince and a few others will be imagining playing in two grand finals in two weeks. Would also make them the 'human interest' story pre-GF, just for a laugh.

Jordie looks like the successful well-dressed TV celebrity uncle forced to hang out with his lame nephews at a family gathering on a hill in the sticks.
