If Weeds gets a game instead of Mitch Brown I'll spew up!

Picket, can one spew down? This has bothered me for some time, also while we're at it why do Americans get off of things? 

In anticipation,

ManDee

    For the regular Casey watchers:

     

    anything they’ve appeared to ask Rivers to focus on in his time at Casey? Is he playing different positions? 
     

    Recognise Jordon’s development on the wing and Gus down back has created one fewer spot in the backline but curious to understand what they are working on development-wise with him

     

    Sounds like both Gawn and Jacko are good to go.

    Must be M Brown and Weid out.

    If Hibbo isn't 100% hopefully Rivers comes back in.


    Out:

    Weid, M. Brown 

    In:

    Gawn, LJ

    Be interesting if they go with the smaller fwd line,  or stick to our usual set up which means Weid stays in

    He's still playing in the backline.  I'd guess at getting back to how he was playing last year - so run and carry, taking the game on etc but also switching and working on his defensive role in the mens' department which has let him down at times this year. The camera work at VFL level is really limited, so it's hard to follow a player closely.

    Another thing I'd like to see.

    "Jackson and Brayshaw sign as Dees for life".

    If we were still as hopeless as we were in 2013, I'd be worried that we'd end up with Mark Jackson and James Brayshaw.

    Goody is now a very polished and confident performer at these media conferences.

    He still rubs his leg intermittently.

    Other than the obvious changes one I would consider is who takes Stengle.   Is it Hibberd, Salem, Gus or bring in Hunt who has an outstanding record on small forwards this year?   

    Goodwin said we will certainly have a player to keep watch on Stengle.

    Same question I posed a few days ago, is it:  Hibberd, Salem, Gus or Hunt? 

    If Hibberd has carryover soreness from last week and only a 5 day break, I would bring in Hunt.

    Hunt has shown us in the past that he is a good lock-down defender when he needs to be. So if Hibbo does get omitted, then its probably the right choice IMO.

     

    "We wouldn't play them if they weren't 100% fit"

    Well that's a lie Goody.....

    Hearing the presser I reckon Weideman stays in the team.

    Could be Bedford and MBrown as the outs.

    Reckon M Brown and Bedford (stiff) will be out

    we’ll go tall down at pussypark

    Yes I think it’s talls out for talls. Seems like some want Weid to stay in.  With BBB and Weid, frees Fritsch up and probably allows him not to have to compete in contested pack marks.  Bedford would be stiff to miss but didn’t quite nail his opportunities last week.

    Except the actual quote is:

    “I wouldn’t be playing them if they weren’t 100 per cent. They’re ready to go,”

    Semantically, a very big difference.

    I stole the quote from Clint Stanaway.

    Either way, I think we all know Goody has told a white lie in the past.

    Christian Petracca playing sick against Fremantle is a prime example. He left it to Christian to make the decision on the day and it back fired. Goody contradicts himself there.

    In saying that, I'm glad both LJ and Gawn are playing this week.

    I think 100% in AFL terms more relates to is there a chance of extra injury.

    All players play sore most of the year and most have injections before each game.

    Disagree. The journo talked about Weid's game last week in gushing terms. Goody just said that they are happy with Weid's development. I guess we'll see who's right.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
