    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    The rest of the year was supposed to be a trial and acclimatisation for all our youth and second-line players. The FD are still nuts.

     

    I tipped Freo at around 4.39pm, well before the injury update. I might put some cash on them now as well.

    Petty ahead of Oscar..

    Quiet a statement there.

    Not really - not only is he not even named in the VFL this week, Oscar hasn't played since he was dropped, having missed the last Casey match as well. 4-6 week case of mystery injury syndrome?

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

     

    Hogan last year, back within a couple of weeks.

    Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense.

    As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

    Tonight's outs make stuff all difference. Freo was winning yesterday and is still winning tonight.

    Didn’t we draft a big weapon from , was it North, to park up at Ff and chop out max ?

    hows he tracking? Anyone got some dead horse

    Not sure Petty is needed.

    May can take Hogan.

    Frost can take Cox.

    Hore can also help out in the key defenders department.

    The rest of their forward line are full of dangerous smalls such as Walters and Matera.

    Hoping the Petty selection isn’t a waste of time.


    The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

    I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

    it will come and

    why wouldn't we bring in a player lacking mobility against a  side who loves to create run and carry opportunities from their back half

    Yes quite.  Oscar has not convinced too many that he has the goods to be a consistent KPD.  

    His strengths include a good defensive punch and being a very tidy kick.  However his game day handballing skills, body strength and ground speed will keep him at Casey.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    Not sure why you're so mad mate? I'm not stating things as fact just putting forward a discussion point about the injuries.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
