    Out.   Chandler.  Jogging. He’s clearly injured.  Clearly.

     AMW IN !!!!  

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

    MCADAM IN !!! (If fit)

    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.

    FF: Pickett JVR Fritsch
    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
