Fair chance of rain Saturday. Smaller players I think would be best bet.

    I hope they stay with Lockhart and a bit more of a fleet brigade.. 

    Keilty for me needs to have a breakout game in the 2s.. we need and will have a look at him but he has to come in with form. 

    Look at Port Adelaide.. they are putting faith in kids and getting great service from their experienced leaders and players, we are the exact opposite. 

    out: Viney 

    in: Sparrow.

    I think the idea is to give Weide a early morning  'wake-up',  call.

    Dec has had a solid bit of good form,  and deserve s a game for his good efforts. It will give him some  'hope',  that he's on the right track...  and to stay enthused.

     

    And I agree on the smalls,  starting with Lockhart.  and Sparrow.

    Now is the time to put some games into kids,  before the mature players start to return from injury,  in a couple of weeks.

    Sadly... You're probably right!

    I really was only thinking about out talls.  not the whole team. or numbers.

    Gunston hasn’t kicked a goal in 32 days. God help us!

    6.0 coming up!

    hopefully he is still scarred from the final against us last year, running into an open goal and hitting the post.

    I cant believe a number of members on this thread believe that certain players who are out of form, shouldn't be dropped! Comments like: 'Its not going to be of any benefit' or 'its not going to improve his confidence'......what a load of [censored]!

    I know our stocks are low, however, in my opinion, there has never been a better 'kick in the [censored]' for players to go back to Casey & having to prove themselves, rather than just accept that even though they are consistently playing poorly, that they are still gifted senior games.

    I just can't see how Weiderman is going to 'all of a sudden grow an extra leg & be outwardly confident overnight. you know what.....its actually ok to be dropped & go back to prove yourselves.....plenty of others aren't gifted the opportunities that Sam & other players have had this season.

    Anyway, enough by me, sorry!

    Sometimes its just a matter of breaking the negative momentum,  that's built up so far this season.  Going back to Casey can do that for him.

    And similarly, the other way for Dec...  Who last year,  I was concerned about whether he'd go anywhere...  but now, think he might be OK.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
