I wouldn't mind some fresh faces and some change to midfield to give it more spark and oomph. This isn't perfect but food for thought. 

Bowey May Lever

Hunt Petty Hibberd

Salem Vandenberg Langdon

Petracca McDonald Melksham

Spargo B Brown Fritsch

Gawn Brayshaw Oliver

Int Jordon Jackson Rivers Neal Bullen 

Emerg Jones 

In Bowey Vandenberg B Brown Melksham

Out Pickett Harmes Viney Sparrow

Emerg Jones 

 

This is exactly what we shouldn't do.

Bringing in Bowey and vandenBerg in the same week when neither has played seniors all year cannot, and won't, happen. It's disruptive in parts of the ground where we don't need to disrupt anything.

I'm not suggesting the four you've mentioned played well enough to avoid being in discussions for the outs, but they won't all go, nor should they.

 

I will wait until casey have played before screeching.

    BBB in.

    Kozzie has a couple of young guys knocking on his door. Please, not Melk, please.

    Bowey is better than Spargo and I reckon is better than Kossy at present! Lovely ball user keeps his feet , knows where to run and is Caleb Daniels like with tenacity! Unfortunately though he is playing down back at Casey!

    In: Brown (for his goal kicking accuracy and nothing else).
    Out: Anyone who missed easy shots for goal and ruined all chances of gaining momentum. 

    So Fritsch, Petracca etc? Okay mate. Rivers and McDonald both kicked rainmakers that didn't make the distance from about 35 out. Not exactly addressing the root cause.

    I dont know if he's ready, but from all reports Bowey is a good decision maker and kick.  Id be keen to see him in for sparrow. 

    We need some polish in the midfield delivering into 50 by foot.  Viney, trac, oliver and Harmes are all pretty much incapable of consistently kicking it to the advantage of the forward and in some cases anywhere near them.

    Bit harsh on the calls to drop Hunt. When the game was in the balance he was trying to lift us.

    He got done holding the ball twice. One of them was a joke where he had no prior opportunity and the other he took 2 bounces but had no options because our forward line isn't functioning yet.

    Completely agree. Hunt was trying to get things going. Having (BBB | Weid | someone) lead  towards him and he kicks earlier and we score

    If they show form tonight, ins BBrown, Chandler, Joel Smith and Vandenberg. Out Sparrow, Pickett, Petty and Jordan. Brayshaw  into the midfield

    In: Brown and possibly Melksham

    Out: Don't care

    we need to score and create forward pressure

    Where's this extra forward pressure coming from then if that's your ins?

    Given the short turn around, if BBB puts in a good first half then take him off and guarantee him a spot on Thursday night.

    No Viney, Harmes and Sparrow in the same team. Harmes stays, as does Sparrow.. Todd Jnr is a spud, poor disposal, poor decision making and when he has the ball, just tried for a stoppage.. we are not a stoppage team anymore.

    Been saying it for ages, but time for Salem in the middle. Need Class to compliment Clarry. 
     

    Hibbo out, Viney out

    Brown and a small defender? 

    Hibbo and Viney out? I guarantee you they would both be in every other teams starting 18.

    Key word here is ‘every’. Hibbo most likely. Viney absolutely not.

    If Joel Smith starts getting games you'll know our season is done.

    FFS, there is no way at all we drop Petty for Joel Smith.

    Put him on ice.

    If we can play viney we can mske room for bbb.

    Already missed too many.

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    Is Viney safe?   He’s replaced Jordan in middle and now the midfield looks same same…..

    Does Vines need a new role or a find form at Casey..z

    I think our season is almost done anyway. We’ll limp into finals and be shot out first week

    Well good for you.

    I don't.

    We're 12-3. We may be in a form slump right now but if you want to give the season up, feel free. 

    I sure as [censored] hope the players and coaches have more resilience than you.

    Going o be tough to get a kick out at Casey tonight let alone kick a goal.  If VB performs tonight he will likely be in. 

    Our Forward line looked crowded and disorganised. Can Brown navigate around that? Sooner or later he will have to get a go.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
