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.

    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.

    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

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
