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).

 

Out Goodwin

In Batfink.

JVR in for fritta. Anymore changes might be too much for the selection comitee.

ANB, Smith and even Kozzy may need a spell at Casey tbf.

Nope too many changes for the selectors. Wont happen.

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)

 

Edited by Diamond_Jim

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
