Clarrie not named. WTF. This is beyond a joke.

He's listed amongst the followers on the team sheet on the AFL page for Sunday's game.

    not much given away from the selected 18. 

    Bench will be Chandler, Gus, Tomo and JJ imo

    I'm a bit confused about how this works (should know by now I know).  Surely Hibberd is one of the extended bench?  If so why does he get listed as "out"?

    he’s in the 22 from last week

    My bad I could only see the ins and outs. I’ve just tended my resignation as a selector.

    Mitch Lewis out for the Hawks, not 100% sold that Tommo is in now

    I'd like to see them give Bailey Luaurie a go in place or James Jordon

    Hibberd was the 23rd player last week - sub. he is not in the 22 this week.  sub yet to be named. 

    not on the extended bench so he’ll play for casey

    Just seeing Josh Schache's name in the extended squad makes me nervous.

    They still have talls in Kozitsche, Denver-Barass and Brady who all played forward last week. Tommo should play.

    What happened to Hibbo? Surely not dropped?

    He was sub. It’s just the stupid nature of the selections that subs are listed as out

    Nothing against the kid but he shouldn't be in a top 4 side this deep into the season. He'd struggle to make North's 22.

    I reckon Schache suffers a bit from confirmation bias from supporters. I’ve seen him play very decent games at Casey, kick multiple goals in games, be an effective second ruck and show courage backing into packs. He just seems to lack intensity so is unlikely to be selected because the team demands that attribute. It’s a shame because he could be our forward line temporary solution if it can all come together for him. I would not be devastated for him to get a game.

    Grundy and Laurie definitely to play, perhaps Chandler the sub with Tomo, Schak and JJ at Casey

    The game at AFL level requires intensity, and it would be some kind of miracle for it to come together for him at his 3rd club in Rd 23 of his 8th season. I think Grundy stays in as the tall target. 

    Otherwise from that extended bench I’d have Brayshaw, Chandler & Tomlinson (would’ve preferred Hibberd). Jordan as sub, maybe Spargo but I think we’re small enough as it is.

    Laurie is a great kick and very accurate when shooting for goal. I'd like to see him play HFF/FP

    A fair summation of where Josh sits DeeMee . To paraphase Paul Simon  'A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest'. Try not to pull the blinds down myself. Of course we have favourites who seemingly do no wrong and those we have less esteem for who appear to do no right.

    Not the best game from Josh last round at Princess Park. But he is a clever player who can read the flight of the ball, position himself well and is normally a long, accurate kick. Like a number of his peers, the goal kicking gyroscope was awry last Sunday and he failed to kick a major. Might surprise a few if he got another go. Ditto Luke Dunstan.

    Just saw that. Maybe they want to give him a full game at Casey for fitness ahead of finals?

    • 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.

      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.
