    Thanks W

    Just a few points i would like to add pls...

    While he is probably best 22 we don't know how long Melk will be out, nor if he'll decide to continue by the time he does return.  Most likely he will but 11 months is a long time in footy.  Especially at this point in his career.

    So i would think McAdam replaces Melk there at least until he returns.  There is no McAdam regardless.  Is that not a done deal?

    Deakyn Smith delisted assuming that's the Smith you're referring for Casey in the BP.

    Hibberd & Dunstan retired.

    Moose has moved on.

    Grundy a maybe but highly unilkely i would have thought given the smoke.

    Jordon and Harmes need an asterisk also yes?

    That's the best 44 for the year the next installment won't have D.Smith, Hibberd, Dunstan and anybody else who leaves during trade week.

    Casey side better than many of our senior sides in the dark years.

    Love to see Bowey move onto a wing, he has a good footy brain and is very good by foot.  No idea on his tank.

    I'd start Billings in the 2's regardless of how well he goes in the preseason. One of the Saints fans youtube things i watched said he got 50 possesions when they dropped him. He has the talent make him earn a spot.

    Surprised to see that Billings isn't rated higher than Chandler on here 

     

    My best 23

    B - Lever, May, McVee

    HB - Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem

    C - Brayshaw, Oliver, Langdon

    HF - Petracca, van Rooyen, McAdam

    F - Fritsch, Petty, Billings

    FOLL - Gawn, Viney, Pickett

    INT - Hunter, Sparrow, Neal-Bullen, Woewodin

    23rd - Chandler/Fullerton

    If we go with Petty and JVR as KPFs for MFC with Fritsch and McAdam in support then we're going to have a massive logjam of tall forwards at Casey assuming early season fitness: TMac, BBB, Smith, Schache, Fullarton, Jefferson, KFW - assuming Verrall leads the Casey ruck.

    I'd be playing at least one back.

    Put a line through TMac, BBB   

    Fullerton will be first in line for a call up if one of Gawn, Petty, van Rooyen go down

    Jefferson may play a different role due to the forward depth we have at both levels

    Verrall will be 2nd ruck to Fullerton imo

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
