That still means that one of Rivers or Brayshaw plays midfield if we play 7 defenders. 

If Hunter goes (which he shouldn’t) I’d put McVee on the wing he was far from our worst last night

Daniel Turner has to come in imo.

Jake Levers form has taken a complete nose dive ever since they moved Petty which has left him playing as 2nd key defender which it's been proven over time that he plays his best footy as a floating intercept defender.

We built our our premiership defence off the back of playing 3 tall defenders. Stick to that.

Amen to this until Petty returns.

Who comes out though?  Or straight in for Bowey (inj)??

    If we lose this match at the MCG to Freo like last year then this year can bugger off.

    I think the FD will persist with JVR. They love the fact that he competes. Those calling for Nibbler or Langers to be dropped are wasting their breath/ keystrokes. Won’t happen. Those two and Spargo are always going to be picked when fit.

    I don’t reckon TMac did enough to hold his spot. Has Turner ever played forward?

    Don't think so. 

    BBB most likely gets the nod over Macca provided he has an injury free run at Casey

    There's little at Casey.. perhaps they will get desperate and try Joel Smith up front

    Bowey out allows Sparrow back in

    Could well be no change

    Struggles to get a kick at Casey but I guess it must be easier at AFL level 

    Not sure why people seem desperate to promote a player that isn’t in form and seems incapable of making a contest and chase when not in possession 

    Plenty looked slow last night and you want to add potentially our most immobile player - struggle to see the merit in this 

    We would run all the great leading full forwards out of form, it's a dysfunctional forward line, we don't have a Lockett, Brown ect but hey lets just bomb it in and expect it to be done.

    just watch Casey today

    we'll play the boundary and bomb it forward. Even have the left side kick out.

    Do we ever practice anything different ... even for a quarter or two at VFL level let alone at AFL level

    lmfao and we do that to.

    If Hunter is suspended does that allow Langdon to play on the other wing for the week. They seemed to swap sides at the start of the year. 


    Have to start thinking outside of the box.  Maybe try Brayshaw forward

    Prior to the Casey game, I would assume…

    OUT: Hunter (suspended), McDonald, McVee
    IN: Sparrow, Brown

    JJ needs either a full game at afl level or straight up get dropped - he offered little last night after coming in for Bowey

    Brayshaw must return to defence - too slow to transition between offence and defence as a mid

    Edited by whatwhat say what

    Bring BB back in. No point waiting. I think JVR's indiscipline was due to frustration at his lack of impact. Give him a few weeks at Casey to refocus.

    I'm not very confident about TMac but maybe he'll be better with a game under his belt. He did kick 2 goals.

    Sparrow to replace JJ.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
