I really rate Hore - super courageous and from memory he didn't make too many mistakes exiting out of the backline. 

Haven't really heard much about him all pre-season. 

Spots are tight down back but it seems Lockhart/Harmes is favoured to take his spot.

My thoughts on Jackson and Pickett,  both from WA are they not?   good reason to pick them especially if the stadium is empty.

 

But I would have thought they both need a few weeks at Casey then when we play an "easy beat" side at the MCG, if there is an easybeat side, they should be eased into the main side.   Its not as if we are short of fit players and have to play certain players.

Empty stadium   no pressure on the umpires to pick the locals, we might divide the free kicks. That would be good !!

It is surprising - he has shut down many more highly regarded players quite well - sometimes very well. He often gets in there, spoiling certainties, feeding out quickly and well, and running on in possession for the best options ahead. He also can keep pace with all of his opponents, shoulder to shoulder, step to step. He does not dodge the issues and contacts, at all.

Hore... and then he gives away a free kick.

I am not surprised by club's lack of support for Hore. He isn't up to it. If in doubt, watch his games from last year again and see how many mistakes he made.

 Iggest problem he is neither good enough for the tall position (third) or quick enough fir the small position minding either.

is intercept and Lever is that alone.

Marty is depth but Rivers IMO should be given an opportunity to commence his career at HBF for us, especially if his Casey form is good.

Just the same Locky should be in our 22 as his playing style gives us run and carry and disposal.

By end of season I will be surprised if both these players are locked in our best 22 and our defence is one of the best in the AFL.

On Hore, unless there is another spate of injuries that forces him to be in he only has the attributes to play Lever’s role so it can only be one of them in the team.

Is a great reader of the ball in the air and third man up mark, but things fall away after that where he is average to below average at AFL level unfortunately.

An in between size not big or strong or fast enough to play on key forwards, not agile enough for medium and small forwards, and his disposal and calm under pressure is up and down. I think he needs to work to be an effective lock down defender to be able to coexist with Lever.

A much better summary of my post on Hore recently 

Thoroughly agree and believe Lockhart and Rivers will be In our defence of the next decade By the end of the season.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
