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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
