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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
