We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

    "Play the kids" like we've had 3 first rounds the past 3 years too pluck from the list ?

    That probably fits nicely with our Hail Mary forward game plan binman.

    This game last year was a Masterclass by Clarkson. 

    Our coaching panel experimented with lots of new ideas (no wingmen, high zone press, Jones as tagger, roaming forwards/mids etc) and we were taken to the cleaners.

    We need coaches to be switched on like they were in the 2nd semi last year!

    Same

    Still kicking myself for staying at home for the 2008 game vs Fremantle. Haven't missed a match since.

     

     

    Edit...  OMac & JWag in for Viney & Weid

    O mac and Wagner..  exciting stuff.

    Should have bought in Keilty and Sparrow,  who are both emergencies.

    Don’t care that Omac was written up as one of the best at Casey last week

    I watched most of the game and thought he was very ordinary,they must have counted his kick outs in the stats 

    If I was Kielty I would be spewing, he has twice the talent of Omac

    Can understand maybe needing one defender, but two? Oh well, maybe they want Mcdonald and Jetta's replacement (was it lockhart last week) in the forward line instead. My wife has tipped us (Richmond supporter). Good luck team.

    I'm now even more confident with omac back. 

    Relax, we've got this.

    That's right, because an untested player who's never played a single game at AFL level and is playing OK/consistent footy at VFL level is our saviour.

    And because we have inside mids and KPF's just queuing up to get a game.

    I can only hope that such strange selections are a precursor to an amended gameplan.

    Perhaps we can play nearest the pin with the losing margin.

    Gunston to reprise his 2:8 of the finals or 8:2?

    Hawthorn is going to kill us. They don't have anybody in their forward line slow enough for Oscar to play on. Sparrow should have been brought in to replace Viney. It will be like playing two men down.

    Smart selections: O Mac allows Tom (our best KPF) to go forward, as does J Wagner for Fritsch.

    I stand corrected, @Nasher. I just don't understand Goodwin's selections anymore.

    Why bring in Oscar? So he's going to play on Roughead then and Frost is going to play on a small?

    Surely, O'Brien is playing back? But maybe not, given the omission of Weideman?

    I sure hope the logic is to allow others to play in their strongest positions

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
