We can drop 4 more games and make the finals.

right now can anyone see us even winning 4?

such a waste of a year.  

I suspect we will win between 6 and 10 games. We're not that bad.

The challenge is to use this wasted season to prepare for the next. It is so apparent that the gameplan is flawed and that it is not getting the best out of what is a reasonable if not good list.

We're not alone in strange game plans. The playing of Caleb Daniels at full back for the Bulldogs by Beveridge has to rank as number 1in the contrarian gameplan world.

 

This year is done and dusted.

The only good news is we have a good list that dominated last year.

We will get back key defenders and hopefully get rid of those nqr players .

Its a huge kick in the guts but all we can do is aim for 2020.

Damn it.

When you don't make the finals you rebuild. Hopefully it's only a short rebuild. We have to be aggressive at the draft and trade period.

Top 10 untouchables: Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw, Gawn, Harmes, T.McDonald, May, Lever, Salem, Melksham.

The rest up for trade. Anderson will be good on our wing ATM.

Hasnt had a great year but Jetta must have another 3 years as a keeper.

well if it hadn't started on Saturday 2020 certainly started today with the news on May and Jetta.

Realistically there is not much at Casey even in the depth department. To play the likes of Baker and Keilty now may be attractive but don't expect much especially if its done without change to the gameplan.

The club cannot afford a 186 against Richmond... the near 100 point defeat by Geelong was bad enough.

2020 starts in round 23 with Spoonbowl. Front row tickets to the Ben Brown Show. C'mon Benny!

Oh no. 

Not again. I’m really not ready for another rebuild

 

Sadly swyl you probably don't have any choice. And we have plenty of practice at surviving them as supporters this is familiar ground. Besides what is the alternative? Leave the fold? It won't happen so chin up and accept the inevitable.

Well a belting is coming DJ. It is simple, we have too many VFL talents in the team at present. If the defeat is less than ten goals I will be amazed.

some obvious changes. 

Jkh delisted

Lewis retired 

Vandenburg - a complete body rebuild

With our lack of small forwards JKH could stay.

Lewis is obvious.

Vandenberg is a concern.

Jones has to retire.

Casboult as a free agent, kicked 3 on the weekend but can't get a game due to McGovern, Curnow and McKay and will allow T.Mac to play down back.

Dont sweat it lads.

We are a destination club remember. 

Where we are going God only knows.

Some serious recruitment in order in the form pf a couple of AA crumbers. A star ff to replace Hogan.  Some speedy wingers and replacements for Jones and Lewis. 

Plenty of other farewells need to be made if we want to taste victory again including Jkh..Anb...Garlett...Spargo... j.Wagner...to start with.

It beggars belief we are not mentioned in any race for Coniglio.. he is the star we need, i understand it might be heard to get him.. but lets get creative.. would you trade petracca? 

Get rid of:

Lewis Ret / Jones Ret / Stretch / JKH / ANB / Maynard / J wagner - thats 7 delistings. And some big money free'd up.

Might be scraping the bottom of the barrel now, but JKH wouldn’t be the worst choice on a wing right now. He was highlighted many times late last year for his two-way running and doing the ‘Team’ thing, something that’s clearly missing right now.

Hard to play when you can't run because of injury. Did you not know that?

Of course I did, apologies for leaving out the if he was available. That’s the problem, even some marginal depth players aren’t available and he would be playing imo right now if fit to try and save his career.

If we got a really decent first round pick for him,, & it frees up enough cash to get Coniglio as a FA then 100% yes I would trade Trac.

Yeah i agree, I love Trac and he seems like a great kid, but he also seems like the only expendable talent we have on the list.

.... expendable... he's our only forward at present and that's not saying much.

Need to rethink the gameplan and see if you can spark it up with say a Preuss and Garlett combo. Also need to work on our goal kicking from 50 metre set shots. We are as many have said, just simply too predictable

Why would Coniglio come to us we are on the bottom of the ladder.

yeah i agree with what you say DJ, but by expendable i mean a talent that might recoup a high pick..

Why did Shiel go to Essendon a club who hasn't won a final in nearly 6000 days..

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
