I don’t think he will drop milkshake. 

You might be right.

But i was thinking they might drop him, not for form related reasons, but because we so obviously need a second a tall forward and if Tmac is not ready, Weed is not even in the frame, they don't want to try JVR then Smith is the only other option.

I don't disagree with that assessment, but Smith has played like 3 games for Casey as a forward this year. I doubt he is the answer if we are lacking a second tall.

If we desperately want a marking tall target up forward we will risk Tmac or punt on JVR. To me Smith is more of a medium forward, so would be a replacement for Fritta if he doesn't come up *heaven forbid*

Amazed that Melksham and ANB keep their spots. I don't know where the goals are going to come from - hope we find form, but seriously don't know how we kick a winning score especially if we play the pockets.

Melksham was kicking well, saw him slot some hard snaps, on the run and from the boundary, today.

It's obvious he wants to be in a grand final, he cemented a spot, now has to hold it. I imagine he will have set himself up this week at training, to get it right.

I will be disappointed and surprised, if he we don't see an improvement in his game this week.

I'm a bit perplexed by this comment. The fact no grammar/ punctuation has been used means I'm forced to decipher the intent.

Are you saying Uncle is the loverly WCW? If so, I can categorically say that WCW is loverly (lovely) but is not Uncle, although I would pay money to see them meet.

If you're saying Uncle is loverly and every Lander thinks so, then I think you have miss read a number of posters. I have no doubt however that the Maid is lovely considering what she is subjected to.

And no doubt his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.

He was doing the same last Thurs Kev.

Hopefully he can butter up but there's no g'tees in footy especially finals which tend to go next level in pressure, speed on the ball and whatever

DC after reading this potentially unauthorised insight of the great Uncle Bitters i am starting to have suspicions that you and the maid just might be one and the same!

Anxiety as well. Is he cut out for performing when it is demanded of him?

We will find out about his strength of mind.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
