    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.

    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

    • 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?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
