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


Congrats to Jay hopefully he can have a good game.

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!

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.....

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
