I know Daniher last week on the footy show said that every game we play we play to win but sure this should not include 'minimising the damage' as well. We need to throw these kids to the sharks this week and let them sought it out.

Necessity, if nothing else, should mean that at least one will debut.

But I tend to agree with YM, in that I am not sure Daniher will debut two in one week.

It would be great to see them though.......

Unlikely that either one of them will play if Neale Daniher sticks to his usual policy. Last year he delayed Matthew Bate's debut by a couple of weeks till after the Sydney game because he didn't want him to play his first game interstate.

I am willing to bet my left [censored] that Petterd will play against the Swans!

gee thats a gamble man..... i don't wanna lose my left [censored] ...

i doubt pettard will play Buckley definitely wont

the only reason pettard wont play i believe is because his debut will be made in Melbourne just like bates was...

no wonder your name is krazyjay

Petterd is from Queensland. I don't think him playing his first game in Sydney really matters.

He must play this week. I agree Buckley is unlikely but I'm so frustrated that every team has played debutants this year except us!

Yep, seems that ND likes to have kids debut in their home state.

From memory ND also had guys debut when named in the 18 (presumably so then their friends/family can be told etc without giving anything away?).

That may be all well and good, but do we actually have the luxury of that option now, given the current state of affairs?

And he (or they) could have debuted at any time in the last four weeks we have been playing in Melbourne.

Lets play both Pettard and Buckley - it was only three games ago that Collingwood introduced three new players in the one game and the Pies have won two of the three games. And so what if the wins were against Richmond and Essendon - they were wins.

We have nothing to lose - except another match.

They will add pace and run thru the lines - something we desperately need.

Pettard, Buckley, Cj, Garland all in... Newton obviously not ready as he isnt performing well enough....

How danners can continually pick Ward, Wheatley, Brown ahead of Cj astounds me... sure CJ was quiet in the first 2 games but how's he going to get better playing Ressies all year??? its a joke an absoulute disgrace... are we going to let him slip through at end of year to another club and watch him excel like we have seen with Jolly and Armstrong.........

Same applies with Buckley and Pettard also Shane Valenti who should be on list... give them games... delist the dead wood for god's sake...... plan for 2008-2009.... not your own security Daniher......

Wrong. I don't think Jolly and Armstrong have excelled at all. Armstrong is a fringe player at best for west coast and there's a fair chance he will get dropped when cousins, fletcher etc. come back into the team. As for Jolly, he just shares the ruck load with everitt. It is Scott Thompson woh we let go for barely nothing.

I can't understand why ppl are calling for the youngsters to be played simply for the fact they are young.

I'm not sure how footy clubs are run in your town but my old footy club and hopefully MFC, you have to earn your spot.

Magpies did include 3 youngsters but from all reports, they've earnt their spot.

Petterd while not setting the world on fire, has done enough to earn a spot. Buckley's 50/50. Don't mind if he gets a spot or gets another week at Sandy.

Newton (Hasen't done enuf) and Garland (Ditto).

I'm not saying I agree with it, simply that it's my observation of how ND deals with potential debutants =)

Looks like I get to keep my left [censored] after all.... *Phew*

Was a risky bet that payed off! :)

No big surprise when you consider we've gained even more injuries during the week. It's like the friggin plague down there!

Steven Quartermain on Ch.10 news just previewed the sport, and I quote:

"More bad injury news for the Demons"...

Woo, can't wait to hear who's injured now! :rolleyes: <_<

    VOTES: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Alex Neal-Bullen, Steven May, & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Kangaroos. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
