     AMW IN !!!!  

    Out.  Turner.  One good game then lost as a forward v cats and lost v blues.  Natural defender.

    Give Woewodin a go . He is improving every time he plays.

    I've been a supporter of Turner and he has a bright future. Fullarton had a very good game against Port Melbourne a few weeks ago and has been moderate since. If he plays well tomorrow night I would promote him for Disco who needs to regain some confidence at Casey. If Fullarton plays it would mean JVR could stay at home and hopefully build confidence against the Eagles. Chandler clearly playing injured. Give him a rest. I'm also in the AMW camp. He looks classy. If Tholstrup has a cracker tomorrow he might be considered.

    Minimal changes. Almost glad we got stung, as WCE aren't easy beats. With a bit of fire in the belly from that 1st quarter I'm feeling less MFCSS around the fixture. I'll be in the crowd

    Forgot about McAdam. Presuming he plays tomorrow night and plays reasonably well in the VFL he HAS to come in and play in Perth. Our forward line is screaming out for an 'X factor' and this bloke could well be the answer! I'll be watching with interest.

    I agree. He was great tonight. Developing at a nice and steady rate. Full game against Eagles could do wonders for his confidence.

    No disrespect to Eagles, as they've improved, but need to blow out a few cobwebs. Reverted to bombing it in too much tonight and connection moving the ball was very stifled. Good chance to stamp down on how we want to play heading into the 2nd half of the season. 


    It's a gimme game in the scheme of things

    Regulation win

    Hopefully we use it to get the forward line clicking because... well we all know

    I really like JVR having a crack in the ruck, but surely it's time we bring in Fullerton as a proper back up. JVR was torn apart by Pittonet and De Koning whenever Max went off. 

    In: Fullerton, McAdam (if fit)

    Out: Turner (unlucky but has now played two average games in a row), Billings (poor recent form although he had a good last quarter).

    JVR is a better ruck then Fullarton.

    The commentary on here with people thinking Fullarton is actually a ruckman of so far off the mark. He's literally a 200cm forward flanker that tries to attempt a few hitouts every now and then.

    If you think Fullarton would have made any difference as a 2nd hand ruckman then you would have been in for a shock.

    Let's see who does what at Casey.  No glaringly obvious changes to me

    IMO Billings is still NQR decision making and disposal - does AMW fill his role?

    McAdam is an interesting one - pulled out sick I believe early in Casey's last game.  Has he recovered and can he play a full and good game Saturday?

    PS - wwsw ⬆️ prodded my tired and frustrated brain - Chandler is looking NQR too.  Is he fit or carrying an injury?  McAdam could fill that role if fit.

    me too ... perhaps we say hi F2F

     

    please DM 

    Not sure Turner is the answer but not sure we have any better options available. 

    Ditto Billings. 

    Probably no change at this stage.

    I’d swap Woey and Billings so Billings is sub.

    Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney
    Int: Sparrow, ANB, Woey, Chandler
    S: Turner

    Let's stick with Langdon and Tracc forward, both gave us something different and try Rivers on ball for a good spurt.

    That means Woey in down back, Billings on the wing.

    I'm hardly a Billings fan, but he had 16 disposals in the second half on the wing and some of them were at least fine. 

    Disco back to sub because we don't need as much height with Tracc forward, and we need speed to pressure.

    No one else on here seemingly agrees with me but if we are fair dinkum we need to think about dropping Fritsch if he doesn't start doing some more team first stuff from the first bounce. Lead up at the kicker every now and then and have a crack with the ball on the deck. If they made him sub I'd be ecstatic.

    can't see a 'tall' being used a sub

    fritsch is not getting dropped, nor played as a sub

    rivers stays down back for mine, and neal-bullen plays more midfield time - he was excellent in the square and around stoppages in the second half

    ditto sparrow

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
