Sounds like Fritsch will be out and no certainty to get Oliver back.

JVR for Smith. A fresh face (Woey, Howes, whoever) for any of the underperforming players (ANB, Harmes, Chandler).

    Could not give a Tosca,season done, time to shake the joint up and play JVR and blood, Woey, Jefferson, and any others that have played well at Casey!

    Season defining game next week. Don’t care who is injured, the ins or the outs.  We need to win this one - no excuses

    Might be time for one of Gawn or Grundy to have a spell. Neither are playing well.

    Why suggest any changes? Goodwin will back the team in as they ‘did a lot of good things’ this week. No point in rewarding anyone who may be in any form in the 2s, that would make sense. Got to stick with the same group. Goodwin would probably pick fritsch this week if allowed

    JVR for Smith

    Unfortunately there's no stand out small forward at Casey for Chandler. AMW had a good game today but has no solid bank of form.

    Melksham did little in conditions that should have suited him

    Bowey forward and Howes in down back if you want to be adventurous

    Forgot Fritsch' injury... Smith or Schache (not sure)

    Woey jnr to make his debut please….

    jordon back in please….

    Maybe even Dunstan to play against the saints …. random I know …. 

    fritsch an obvious out and chandler and J smith back to the Casey demons to help them in their quest to get back into the top 4…..

     

    Any chance Tomlinson can get a game before he tells Goodwin to GAGF & play every week for another team next year?

    He was on the market at the end of 2022 and no takers

    absolutely agree. we can’t carry both and give up run. with JVR and Brown and Petty back we are far too tall

    I think we are going to have to get around 85 Inside 50s to win this one…

    No way Smith goes out.

    Chandler or Pickett out before him.

    JVR for Fritsch and we are still a medium/tall forward short so ideally need someone else. 

    Dare I say Tomlinson in to the backline and Petty forward.

    Why not? He’s not good enough.

    Thought today would’ve been the day to try that considering the weather…but I guess I have hindsight on my side??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    His forward pressure is excellent, he adds much needed structure as a forward target and can bob up for goals.

    Either way we are screwed without Fritsch.

    It was disgusting that he was dropped after a career best performance on KBDay against this year’s (more than likely)premiers 

    It was a complete lack of selection in integrity and the players must be confused on what the base level of performance is to maintain their spot in the side.

    Maybe. Or does the ratio of goals/i50 continue to decline the higher the number of i50s?

    You know how like in video games, if you’re way out in front (racing game, Streetfighter whatever) the algorithm makes sure your competitors can catch up…

    Ok.. so change is need.

    Out- Grundy, ANB, Kosi, Harmes & Fritta

    In- JVR, Tomlinson, Woey, Laurie & Oliver. 
    Bowey or Salem to spend midfield minutes, Laurie needed forward as he can actually hit a target. Petty forward with JVR and Brown.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
