Hibberd is partial to a bit of soreness, so it’s probably just general management. Fingers crossed. While losing him wouldn’t be ideal, half-back also happens to be where we’re best equipped to cover anyway with the likes of J.Smith and Hunt primed and ready. It wouldn’t be a game changer.

Great to hear Bernie’s firing. If he’s ready it’s hard to see him getting selected in the firsts, but Casey have a huge PF this week and having him in would help enormously.

Did forget to mention that Joel Smith was actually part of the main squad along with JKH instead of the guys who played at Casey when they split off.

    Groups have split to backs, forwards and mids.

    No noticeable player position change. But i reckon Joel Smith will come under serious consideration this week. Moving well and his skills are actually quite good. Hitting targets where some have been a bit hit and miss in these conditions.

    Dazzle, does the Weid have a slight more aura of self confidence about himself? 

    I truly hope he gets a slight swagger from a Friday night, belief in himself should be high.

    Especially if Hibbo has more than a bit of soreness.

    He had some swagger last week. Looked pretty aggro and fired up too. Gave a mouthful to Danger at one point after smashing him in a tackle. I said earlier in the year that he had got much bigger.

    He seems to have got bigger again. Seriously big unit now - with a very long reach. Developing into a handy second ruck as well. Which is perfect as it allows TMac to stay in the forward line, Hoges to play as a roaming center half forward  and max to drop into the hole down back.

    Very calm and measured he is. 

    But he looks like a man now. The way he moves and marks with his hands outreach reminds me a lot of Josh Kennedy from West Coast.

    Look he wasn't limping or anything. Was doing doing timed laps at a reasonable pace, so i think its more of a management thing.

    From what you saw DD36, would you suggest any players as ins or outs, based upon where they trained or what they did?

    I think we'll go unchanged, but the only change that i could see happening is maybe JKH for Spargo, and Smith for Hibbard if he doesn't get up.

    Other then that i think we'll most likely go unchanged.

    Heard rumours Hibbo looks sore and isn't training with the group.  Hoping to hear some reports on that!

    I thought he didn't look too good. Arrived late as well.

    Great stuff DD36.  Any 'feel' on the vibe / enthusiasm, camaraderie shown this morning?  Are they still up and about like recent weeks?

    They looked switched on and focused. The enthusiasm was there but also very measured.

    Weird isn't it? I'm still waiting for the stories of players barfing on each other, or photos of two moronic fringe players dressed in completely inappropriate costumes, that arguably end up costing them their careers. Training?!

    Nash you left out dwarf tossing. Perhaps that should be throwing, either way inappropriate.

    He said on Triple M prior to our game last Friday that he was expecting to play VFL this weekend.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
