Surprising to hear, good luck young man. Iā€™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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscrayā€™s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last weekā€™s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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.
