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.....

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
