Ben Brown needs to play. I think we can all agree that Tmac needs to play as a high leading forward and Fritsch at full forward won’t get us many marks or goals. We need to give Brown a solid run in the seniors. 

I could see Fritsch out, Ben Brown in. But equally, Fritsch kicked 6 when Brown was in, so he would really benefit from not being the 2nd biggest target.

I think our best structure includes 2 talls based on the ridiculous kicking into the forward 50 we saw tonight (putting it on Spargo's head won't win a Grand Final).

More chance of aliens being found on mars tomorrow than Fritsch ever getting dropped, he's our best forward

If Goodwin was willing to persist with Weideman and his poor form for 5 weeks, do you really think there's a chance Fritsch is getting dropped when he's kicked 28 goals in 13 games and is our leading goalkicker just because he's had 2 down weeks? Mostly as a result of our delivery inside 50 as well. 

Ben Brown definitely does need to come in though. If half of your game plan is to kick it in long, you need to have more than 1 tall inside your forward 50. I'd be leaning towards dropping Sparrow or ANB but probably Sparrow, not sure that goal at the end was enough to save his spot in what was a relatively quiet night for him.

Brown in please, with a solid block to build into it. We need straightening up. Brown is the perfect player for it. 

In Ben Brown Chandler

Out Pickett ANB 

 

On a dry deck in the afternoon, BB would be a good addition. Still not sure it's the right move for team balance, but I don't think he deserved to go out based on form. Happy to give him a run.

Not sure who goes out. Kosi has been disappointing, but I still think his upside is too great as there's no replacement in that role

Kozi has had a poor last few matches. Love him but it might be time for a break and think about team footy again. 

Beat me to it HB. Kozzie will become a great player for us but he needs a rocket up his backside real quick. Trying to play Hollywood footy in lieu of team footy. Chocko needs to have a quiet/hard word to him.

Fritsch wasn't too good tonight but he's important to the Forward Line mix. Need better connection from the Mid to the Forwards. Happy we got the 4 points. I'll take that any Day of the week. I took the DopeHeads at 23+ so it's been a ripping Saturday night. GO Ds GO.

@JadedI agree with this, but what if Weid kicks 3 from 10 marks tomorrow and Brown is ordinary? Would Weid get the call up for you?

 Agreed even his tackling hasn't been great but he's had a break but don't know how Brown can get in without Kozzie going out.  Sparrow stays for my opinion. I'd still be happy with no change.

Sometimes you just got to win ugly.

 The bigger the better. 


Fritta made some critical spoils and his field kicking is an asset. He plays worse as the 2nd tall. BB will help him

I would keep Sparrow in too but ANB disposal was shocking tonight and could be dropped for Brown.

Spot on.

Maybe that'll be the course they choose but I reckon AnB had some credits. It's  depending on how badly they want BBB in. I'd  be happy with no change tho.

Lets see what happens in tmrw vfl game. I went and saw Casey play against Sydney which was our last game. Ben Brown was absolutely pathetic so be careful about calling for his inclusion.

Not by much.

Averages 2 goals a game as the '2nd tall'.

Averages 2.16 goals a game as the '3rd tall'.

Depends who is given the FF role. Previously Weideman has been anointed as the Casey spearhead.

I think they need to play Ben Brown for the next three weeks if he’s fit. They need to see how he fits in. It’s a big call but he was traded in to be running around at Casey fields.  

 

No change

Everyone has off games. I don't care if Mitch Brown puts his hand up either.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
