  • Demonland changed the title to CASEY: Rd 19 vs Northern Bullants
 

Wow WERRIDEE that is some side you have posted.!!!

Yes strong team.

Unavailable: Daw retired.  Injured- Tmcd Dsmith Rosman BBB

I think Hunt will be sub this week. Bedford needs the run to find some form again. 

 

Hopefully all the emergencies (including the sub - depending on use) get back in time for this game. Otherwise they'll miss 2 weeks of footy, with the bye the week after. I'd be guessing we'll be taking at least the 4 emergencies. 

I don't think anyone will be flying back from Perth for the Casey game.

The first Virgin flight leaves Perth at 6:00 am arriving 11.35.

Casey starts at 1.05 pm at Casey.

So even if things went clockwork..too tight. Peter Hudson not there so no helicopter.!!!

There is a Jetstar flight leaving at 1:40 am, but I doubt if they would use that ?


I’m looking at the Casey team and it shows we probably need to identify a young ruck, key forward and another quality mid/onballer in the draft period.
Depending on the Jackson situation, if he goes then we’d need to grab a mature bodied ruck/key forward. 

I thought there was a suggestion that J.Smith was going to play forward . Another breakdown from playing defence whether it be via Casey or Demons he will end up getting de listed.

Steven May said Last night that J Smith will play forward this week for Casey

JVR could be one of the “flying” emergencies this week (??) 

You could be right. It would have to be him or M Brown as the emergency forward

Wonder if Dunstall will travel as the emergency mid?

His position going forward is the relief forward/back so that makes sense

Would've thought he was a bit old and wrong position as well. 🤔

Plus he has a contract with fox footy

What sort of draft picks would we need to give Fox Footy, to get the deal done?

Hopefully he has a good game - expectations should be modest as he’s missed a lot of footy but a few goals and getting through unscathed would be a real positive

Sadly I think Joel would be only one more long term injury (wherever he plays) from being delisted. 🤕

Did May say this on an interview?

No at a night with Lever & May at the Sporting Globe Bar. Good night and you get an insight into their personalities and what makes them tick as well as some goss.

To be honest, I'd be satisfied if he just gets through the game unscathed with or without any goals. If anyone on our list deserves some luck go his way, it's him.

VFL | Five changes to face Bullants (melbournefc.com.au)

Just 3 changes to my possible team. Josh.Smith replaces Bell in the ruck and Quigley has got the nod over Grey and Baldi comes in to replace the promoted Hunt.

Can't see that team taking the field as four of them are in Perth as emergencies

They will come home early for the game surely?

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
