Surprising to hear, good luck young man. I’m guessing Spargo out.

    Very surprising. Either he is banging the door down (after only 15 days? unlikely), or he is doing the 1%'s and someone selected last week isn't.

    p.s - or of course injury.

    My guess would be Corey Wagner.

    interesting that he is not mentioned in club article whereas 5 others are mentioned as being in the mix

    Interested to see what the changes are.  ANB is probably higher up the pecking order, so to me, one of Sparrow, Spargo or Corey Wagner goes.  Did Sparrow do enough to keep his spot?  I thought he and Wagner were okay on the weekend and probably had a little more impact than Spargo, who didn't lay a tackle at all against Port.

    May will come in for probably Frost, KK may come in as well for someone like Hore, leaving one of the small forwards vulnerable for Lockhart.

    Oh, and congrats to Jay if he does get picked.  Amazing achievement!

    If this is true then I suspect he comes in for Spargo. No tackles, lacks speed and at times seems to just follow the packs about 10 yards behind and makes no impact. Spell at Casey will do him good, get his confidence back and push again for seniors.

    Wouldn't count out him playing down back as well.  Cats have Dahlhaus, Myers, Ablett, Atkins and Parfitt all rolling through their forward fifty and they were playing a lot of 2 tall four small last week with Gary Rohan and Danger mixed in.  Lockhart may come in to do a job down back, maybe try and go with Atkins, Myers and Dahlhaus if Jetta and Hibberd are occupied with Ablett and Danger.  Could be In: May, Lockhart Out: Frost Hore if they decide KK needs another week.

    Could also play as forward to of course.

    Yep, fair point.  Outside of Hawkins and Ratugolea, they are rather small down there, although you would call Danger a mid size forward.  Bringing in extra support down there wouldn't hurt.

    2 weeks ago not on a list and now playing against Geelong in the AFL - WOW!

    if he can play small pressure fwd it makes sense, otherwise I'm not sure what we are doing.

    JKH and Jeffy must be so dirty that they got last minute injuries.  cruel game

    Showed tremendous improvement as the year  elapsed at Casey last year, you could see he had ability and still more upside, wrapt for Jay

    This would have to be one of the biggest surprise selections of all time.

    Amazing that he is fit enough to step into AFL football after a week!

  • Quote

    Am I right in thinking that he is a defender? What position did he play in last week during the practice game? Also, good luck to Jay in his debut.

    Was bitterly disappointed when we didn't draft him, went away and came back to Casey in amazing shape, has been standout at Casey pre seson training and was duly rewarded

    As long he is match fit and has a crack for four quarters, I am okay with this selection given the lack of competition for spots at present. Good luck Jay.

    Doubt they'd be playing both Ablett and Danger in the forward line at the same time.  Danger might be down there, but he's probably following the ball from the midfield rather than starting forward next to GAJ.

    Based on last week Gaz played almost always forward, Danger rested at full forward at times. I'm pretty sure they did overlap. Gaz really played as a traditional half forward flanker. Will be interesting to see if they send Nev to Ablett and therefore drag Jetta up around the ground or if Nev stays deeper and they task someone else with the role on Gaz.

    Kelly, Parfitt, Selwood (rotating to a wing), Danger seemed to do the bulk of the centre square minutes.

    So then  KK probably isnt coming in, would be odd to bring in two half backs.

    KK will rotate with Lockhart through the wing.....

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
