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: 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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
