    No to Wagner.

    Bring in whichever of our kids play well for Casey this weekend.   All about 2020 now, sadly.

    The only Wagner I'd bring in is Josh. He can play half back and release Fritsch to play forward. 

    If Preuss is okay then he comes back in. Will they have the guts to drop Weideman? 

    Outside of that, there isn't much else at Casey, while May, Lever, AVB, Hannan, Joel Smith, Nev etc all won't be ready for the Hawks game.

    Wèed needs to go with TMac back in the forward line, play Kelty or Petty down back.

    Retire Lewis, say goodbye to ANB and work from there.

    Pruess for Weids (if fit).

    Decide on other changes after Casey plays.  See if anyone puts their hand up. 

    As a minimum we need to replace ANB whether injured or not.  Very surprised he was called on for last night.  By all reports he didn't show anything in the match before the under 18s fiasco.

    Makes you wonder where Goody's head is at bringing back someone completely out of form into a team where so many were already struggling.

    That is all.

    A bunch of folk lucky.

    Keep playing with positions.

    Fritsch forward for one.

    Drop Jones. The embodiment to why we are so bad at the moment. He was well and truly finished last season. Playing favourites who can’t cut it any more.

    Gone for a stack of 4-6 weeks?

    Goody did one smart thing last night .. Melksham in the middle.. suddenly someone who can kick... Viney Brayshaw and Oliver in there is killing us all three just give it away either by foot or hand ... perhaps just change it so every centre bounce is Max Melksham Salem and Stretch ... others like Gus and Olly (who could start on the wings) and Jones can play on ball after the bounce and Stretch and Salem go onto the wings ..

    Weed needs to go back to Casey to work on his game and he can be tried at CHB to develop bits lacking in his game at the moment...bring in Preuss or Keilty... TMac was better , although limping in last quarter (toe?) keep him back ...Jones? Viney? Trac? Lewis? Too many blokes we are trying to hide..

    When under pressure people go to their favorites.

    You want to drop the Weid?

    No No say it ain't so.

    I'd bring in either petty or omac, and send Frost forward to play directly on Sicily. He's there main intercept player so make him accountable, Frost is a liability back anyway but can stick to a player. Garlett did nothing, barley chasing which at least ANB does. If Preuss is right then him in for tsmith, otherwise surely we should look at keilty.

    So, petty or omac for garlett and Preuss or keilty for tsmith

    Some time to pause and reset.

    Send Viney if fit to half back.  Give him time to man up, tackle and dispose of it without being panicky every time he goes near it.  

    Send Weid to a wing.  Put Brayshaw on the other.  

    Have a forward line of Preuss, Keilty, Smith, Frisch , Melksham, and try Bedford.

    Lewis and Jones both out.  Petty, Frost, Salem, Hunt, Viney and Hibbard as back 6

    Middle of Gawn, Oliver, Harmes, Maynard.

    Bench of TMac, Stretch,  Trac, C Wagner

    Weid is not doing the job but do we have someone to replace him?  For the moment T. Smith has his place, he can take a mark and kick a goal. It looks like Viney and ANB are injured and should miss rather than play injured. They need to be replaced with running players. The cupboard is bare. We only have the Wagners and other running players that have less experience. KK only runs one way. Preuss is not a key position target because he is as slow as a wet week and can really only play one position. Lewis and Jones are done and should not waste their records with a too late retirement. Seeing great players past their use by date is sad and embarrassing. If they both retire could it open a couple of spots on the list for the midseason draft?

    A good organisation would at least have a respectful conversation with Jones in particular and Lewis. Obviously they will say they want to see the year through and help out with experience. Perhaps that is best but a conversation should be had.

    Preus in for Weideman, won't even present for an option. Why was Garlett picked when he has been out of form for 12 months, has one good game in the VFL against a side that is likely to finish on the bottom. Couldn't believe the amount of people clamouring to have him in the team. Those that think Jeffy was the answer were asking the wrong questions.

    Garlett provided run and good link up work up the field, it is not his fault the delivery into the forward line was crap. Tim Smith is so much more versatile and mobile than Preuss and arguably shown that he has been our best forward target we have had all year. Preuss may be of use resting forward, he is so slow though. Frost has been our best back so far this season. It is run this team needs more of. If you are going to sacrifice a forward to play on Sicily then you are playing into their hands and Sicily has won the battle. The way to beat Sicily is to have a good forward make him have to earn it.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
