If we are very brave Rivers to Langers  wing and Lockhart to  mind the Lions smalls

This. Rivers, as we all know, is a gun. Fast, defensive, attacking, good hands, beautiful raking kick. He reminds me of Stephen Tingay.

    Did anyone notice how and when it happened?

    Not mentioned in the commentary as far as I recall. 

    Purely a guess mono. Last time I saw him involved in a play was around 13mins to go in the last. Attacked a contest near our defensive goal square and looked like a Bulldog arm might have struck him accidentally. He stayed down for a few seconds. Didn’t see him for the rest of the game and they panned to our bench a couple of times and we only had 3 on there until Langdon reappeared with a couple of mins to go.

    I just hope he is ok. One AFL player (I can't remember who) is continuing to have concussion symptoms 6 weeks later. 

    We can't replace him like-for-like. He plays the wing in a way that few others do, more like a wingman from the 70's. 

    No way do we move ANB out of his role. Apart from his pressure and running, he can kick goals. 

    I actually thought Baker was OK during his 1 game, while not being great. But his defensive running was a negative. Are any of Sparrow, Lockhart or Bedford genuine runners? Or anyone else showing wing-like capabilities at Casey?

    I like the option of Jones, but that would probably mean moving ANB to the wing which is a mistake.

    So I basically have no idea how to replace Langdon!

    Rivers could fill the role pretty well and will be used to being part of the system - question then would be who to replace / backfill Rivers.

    Can any Casey watchers suggest anyone in form who can fill either role?

    I believe the concussion came from this incident in the last. Those with access to the replay can check it out.

    He still played on after this and was on the wing at the next centre bounce. Could have been delayed reaction.

     And he looked flat after that in his movements and went off after the Bruce goal.  Brayshaw took his wing. Involved in one play down back where nothing much happened before that.

    He's certainly down after that but the camera pans away quickly so you can't tell how long he was down.  Some have posted it was in the last 90 seconds.  Since JCB  spotted him later on, maybe he was taken off much later. Or only replaced at the last minute (but why would we do that?)

    Sparrow concussion too? He was on for all of 1 min?

    What I heard on Fox I think but have no other info to go on!

    Re this Concussion, don't they normally give the player twenty minutes before it is called. Must have been bad to call so quick and rule him out for twelve days.

    I doesn't make sense with respect to the rigours of concussion protocols, but I do wonder if they were looking at resting Langdon anyway... the footage of him last night showed him smiling and laughing with Sparrow.

    Maybe, just maybe they were considering ":resting" Langdon, but surely not for the Brisbane game.

    TBH, I don't recall seeing much of Lingers all game.  I'm wondering if something happened very early in the game, to the extent he just wasn't right pretty much all game, and not able to offer his usual high level of participation & dash, and they finally pulled him off near the end??

    Bulldogs did everything to go to the opposite wing. 

    Consequently Angus did a brilliant job under siege most of the night.... not from a stats perspective, but from guarding space, blocking contests.

    Actually, there were 2 moments for me when the ball was dumped kicked from a Dogs defender to just beyond our 50m arc and I knew that Gus would be there to intercept... and I just grinned at myself at the sense of comfort that even I as a spectator knew the system was working...

    Very tricky player to cover for, there’s very few players that have the tank he does. 

    One thought is move TMac into a wing role as he had trained in that manner all summer. Another is shift Hunt to the wing role, he has the leg speed but does he have the tank?

    Baker is the most obvious choice to come in as it’s like for like (in terms of role), but Baker hasn’t done a lot to give me confidence. That said it’s about taking your opportunities when they come, this could be his. 

    I think Gus has to remain as the defensive winger, his role in the team has been stupidly underestimated by some on Demonland.

    Not sure if this has been discussed - what about Salem to the wing, Hibberd to HBF and Lockhart to back pocket?

    Salem to the wing and Bowey into HB. 

    I like this suggestion. Bowey has great foot skills and potentially could be another Caleb Daniel long term. Half-back flank is ideal.

    Interesting that no-one has suggested T-Mac to the wing and Ben Brown forward. What a difference 2 months makes.

    This won't happen. Why would you move a guy who's starring up forward to the wing? I suspect they're more likely to make a straight swap which means Baker but I do like the suggestion of Salem to the wing and Bowey to HBF. It's time we saw what Bowey is capable of. Also Ben Brown did nothing last week and of course isn't playing this weekend so they won't be making any changes up forward.

    Baker was in the best players against the Swans apparently.

    I reckon he'll be high up on the list to replace +lingers

    Is it not possible to rotate a couple of different guys through the wing and forward line? Perhaps Nibbler and Harmes? With Sparrow coming into the midfield.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
