    Maybe, but there isn't much else at Casey to replace them with for the minute.  We can only go with what we have.

    Weid should be good in the Sydney grass.

    Yep. 

    Serious question... would you not temper the style...a bit ...to accommodate the different levels of ability and experience ??

    Preuss Gawn rotating plus T Mac and Weed up front. Bomb it long at the scg. 70 inside fifties we should win once we don’t leak a goal every two minutes

    I assume TMac will be a late out and Gawn will spend more time floating back to help our defence. Preuss will help in the ruck and rest forward and poor Weids will be saved from the horror of having to take Centre ruck contests. 

    We’ll kick 6 goals if that’s the case, lucky for us Swans will only kick 5.

    AFL360 has just got me pumped for the game, those bastards! Murphy and Nick saying how you can often get a big response when you ‘circle up’ or have an honesty session. 

    On the other hand if no response then there is nowhere to turn

    Exactly and that is caused by injuries and we have a lot at present.

    Is Tmac still subject to a late test ? Just curious

    I just saw on the idiot box slobbo say Franklin will kick 7 goals on us. Karp. Mr Frost will have a field day if he can actually sit tight on buddy and punch well. It can't be that hard ?

    I am not convinced he will play, you take out two medium size mobile players and replace one of them with the tallest guy on the list who is way less mobile! Looks more like a replacement for TMac to me, without TMac we would have had only the Weid as the only tall. With Preuss in we can rotate him and Gawn in the forward line.

    I suspect a late change also

    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.

    Yes, people need to realise Jeffy has been out of form for the best part of 18 months.

    Yes, if Tmac is a late out, let's hope we have someone who can do well on Allir Aliir.  AA must be one of the best defenders in the AFL now. He's phenomenal, incredible, unbelievable. ( or so people keep saying )

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
