If we can continue on with some consistency then I'm expecting Franklin to kick 12 on Frost, and Oscar to find himself manning someone like Papley who will kick 6 on him by running circles around him.

Can't wait, should be a corker.

By and large it has been the smalls and mediums that have kicked goals on us thus far this season, not the bigs.  Buddy will only get 6

    Can't believe Jeff was not on the plane! 

    He is the only one with a bit of x factor and knows where the goals are.  His defensive skills can't be any worse than anyone else in the team.

    He was out injured for just a few weeks so how many games at Casey does he need?  Instead we take an undersized, underdeveloped kid who was dropped after one game and recovering from a broken jaw.

    Just don't understand our selection criteria anymore.

    Fear his card has been stamped. 

    Been the case since he squibed at that forward 50 contest against Richmond ansac eve 18’

    A damn shame...

    More likely he played a full game on the weekend.  The break was too short to take him.

    We win the next 3 straight and become favourite for the flag.

    As long as the umpires don’t crucify us every time we look like getting a run on.

    Despite this the dreadful scorelines for the Dees this season, do not hope too much that the umpires will not intervene against us several times. The Swans crowd is worth far more to the AFL than that of the MFC. In addition, we are currently where many AFL 'executives' want us to be - right on the bottom of the barrel. The rules changes this year have also given the umpires more latitude to intervene, as well, and the flow of the game is more than ever 'under their control' in terms of which team can (not will) get a 'run-on'. Further, the showmanship of the umpires is now a feature of the game - random, unfair and inconsistent as their will is going to be displayed.

    KK ruled out after a head knock last week?

    Very concerning given his head injuries in the past.

    Seriously? Jeff "zero tackles" Garlett is not the saviour. If defensive pressure is the mantra, he's the last person you want in the team, it's like giving the opposition an extra player down back. As for the goals part ... how many did he kick at Casey on the weekend?

    Having said that, I like Garlett a lot, but he's so far off the pace he's unrecognisable as the player he once was.

    Good that the club is taking it seriously. Precautionary as much as anything?

    We’re getting great value from our recruits from other clubs. FMD.

    True but I would still rather Garlett over Spargo.  He is a much better crumber and averages 2 goals a game.  If Tom McD doesn't play we will have only 1 recognised goal kicker in the side: Melksham. 

    Perhaps Jeff just needs to be backed in by the coaches to play a string of senior games to get his mojo back.   Other players have been given that.

    Yeah it’s not been a good run from our recruits over the last 2 years. 

    Lever and KK haven’t done much wrong. Can’t really help knee or head injuries.

    Did notice it during the game, but he then played out the rest and actually was a lot better in the second half I thought. I'd say it's precautionary which is good given his history.

    He didn’t even try for Casey in the first half. 

    So lazy.

    The one positive that came out of last week was that we played one quarter of really good footy. More like what we should be playing. Fast dominating and high scoring. Before it was only 10 or 15 minutes here or there. If we can up that to at least 3 quarters we should have a real chance.

    Good changes.  ANB had to go and, even with the concussion, I think KK was probably in the gun as well.

    I'm not convinced Tom Mac plays and he might be a late withdrawal, possibly for Spargo.  He doesn't really deserve to come back in yet but he's the best of the emergencies.

    Feeling good about tomorrow night's game.  Reckon we're a fair chance.

    Totally agree where kidding ourselves if we reckon he the answer. If thing run his way can been good but goes missing way to often. Have many friends at Carlton they were not crying when he left. Say a lot

    While ANB was poor, with Frosty and Omac down back... lets not celebrate just yet.

    Those 2 alone are a big part of the swiss cheese defense.

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?
