CHANGES: Rd 21 v Collingwood


Dee Zephyr

Recommended Posts

Preuss a shocker around the ground but did win some hit outs in the ruck. There’s no one left to back Max up if they omit Preuss. Won’t even attempt a guess on Tim Smith’s availability.

Lever in some doubt perhaps with May (if we aren’t playing it safe with him) coming in. Hore the standout for Casey from all reports. 

One change I’d like to see is turnovers out.

Slim pickings at Casey, thoughts?

Looks like May will definitely be back in, as should Hore be

I imagine outs will come down to Lever’s ankle and whatever mystery injury of the week there is

I really don’t understand playing the likes of JKH - he pretty clearly isn’t going to be with us next year - but it seems the cupboard is empty

IN: May, Hore 

OUT: Lever, JKH

From here, it really doesn’t matter.  The cupboard is indeed bare.

may back in.

Preuss was an absolute liability, but pies have Grundy and Cox , so who supports Max if concrete mitts gets dropped to Casey?  Maybe give Petty a couple of goes to spell max.

hore perhaps in, and maybe move Frosty to the wing?

otherwise, whoever plays, just stop with the stupid mistakes, the terrible skills and the complete lack of understanding of how to play the game.

exit interviews start in 3 weeks....

let’s beat Collingwood then rest everyone who has event a hint of a niggle for the rest of the season

OMac must be dropped for this game - too unable to contest the ball against an opponent, shirks the issues, reliant of chasing whilst getting further and further behind the spoiling zone, creates significant gaps in the backline arriving to the contest after the ball has been marked or delivered by hand and/or foot.

I know Preuss had a shocker but he should play for two reasons. He is our backup ruck if Max goes down and needs to get to understand the game at AFL level. Secondarly we owe it to Max to give him some support for the remaining three dead rubbers for his enormous 2019 performance.

Agree.... He was awful but we've got nothing to lose by playing him for the final few games,  it's perfect opportunity to get games into him and a chop out for Max. 

Hore in for Lever (playing sore) 

May in for Hunt.

Oscar in same boat as Pruess.... Was god awful but we need to play him,  maybe throw him n May forward rotating. 

Result is irrelevant, time to experiment for 2020.

Oscar stays simply for more match time at AFL level - then we can reassess post-season, probably likewise for JKH.

Preuss to stay in purely so Max isn't carrying the full burden - he can only improve surely...

Don't really care who comes in - I've lost faith in our injury timeframes now

Nah

He goes out next week when May comes in. Just watched the reply and... no I wont comment any further on this.

Hore comes in for Lever if he doesn't get up.

Didn’t Oscar play his school footy as a forward? Why not throw him down there and May back if he’s back in. May as well coz his confidence is shot as a defender at the moment. 

Goody said in his presser that he’s throwing some players around to see what flexibility they may have to offer.

Yeah look if that's the choice then of course May comes in. Issue for me is more around the pliable nature of our injury return dates and whether May will actually be available for selection

In. Hore May

out. Jwagner Omcd (delist)

out. Shocking simple turnovers

J Wags was dropped last weeks

Corey was going well for a bit, but his second half was awful

 

I think we play the likes of Dunkley, Baker, JKH, Petty (and even Preuss and perhaps Omcd) for all remaining games. Need to get them game time at the right level

As bad a Preuss was last night, if he clunks a few of those grabs, and sticks a few tackles, he could have a big impact next year and he's only going to get better for the experience

Season's over, play the kids

Play May forward.

May, Petty and Fritta would be an interesting experiment.

As i recall, he also played forward in his early days at Casey. Wasn't a spectacular success and you don't want to pin any hopes on him to impact a game, but he didn't look all at sea there.

This hit the nail on the head for our entire season. 

Its an indictment on the coaches and players. 

ITS PATHETIC.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
