    Casey game tomorrow is important. If Harmes plays well, he is in.  Laurie? Howes? 

    Howes and Turner are both competing for the 3rd tall defender if Petty goes forward and we want a Hibbo replacement. Turner more ready for that job. But would love to see Howes start to demand a go.

    We’re yet to give JJ a second full game, I don’t see Harmes or Laurie jumping him. Unless Laurie is just blistering and they want him in Spargo’s role.

    Schache a small chance if they want to keep Petty back. 

    Moniz-Wakefield? I’d love to see it

    Tigers main ruckman is out so TMac may not be essential. BBB back in his place

    Lever for Tomlinson

    Hibberd for Bowey perhaps

    Laurie for Spargo

    Not panicking yet but we need to beat Richmond

    Hard to see another poor performance like this next week.. but certainly some players need to go out. Petty back forward- created a contest late.

     

    In- Lever, Hibberd, Brown.

    Out- Spargo, McDonald and Tomlinson.

    Bowey to play Spargos role. He was putrid tonight Bowser.

    If we loose to the tigers, I'm going to be feeling worst than Neeld era

    Really??? So if we are 3-3 six games in to the season, you're going to feel worse than when we were close to a laughing stock?

    I find that difficult to believe.

    Are you trying to get him killed  Fence ?

     

    JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. 

    Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight

    If fit, Brown Lever and Gawn are  must ins.

    If someone tears it up at Casey he plays on  Monday week. Someone has to be punished and omitted.

    No problem making 3 or 4 changes. Clubs do it all the time.

    No pedestrians.

    Rob Flowers Dad Al was dead against him playing as a 17year old and had to be CONVINCED by Noel Mc Mahon that he should play, But his father said no for the reasons you allude to!! His dad relented and The rest was HISTORY

    I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing.  Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large,  nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. 

     

    Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here.  Let the kid develop

    SEN suggesting Bolton may get suspended. Looks unlikely to me.

    No way will he get a game 2023 without catastrophic injury list.

    At the very least we need BBB and Lever back plus a hell of a lot of work on our brand. Dimma just given a blueprint on how to put us in a spliff by Scott if he plays talls.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
