Not just that, who's playing the 1.5 intercept role of Lever?  Neither Tommo or T- Mac are really up to that.

May could do it and TMac and Tomlinson take the direct tall opponents.

The midfield has to step up to cover the loss of Lever. 
keep the ball forward. 
They honestly haven’t performed efficiently all year so far

Just one comment. JV7 is a midfield bull. His tackling is A grade. Elite tackle rating this year 7.  Rated 6th total tackles for the AFL. 
Oliver down from 7 to 4 this year. 
Trac at 3 tackles per game. 

We are losing contested centre clearances. This is killing us. Combine this with turnovers and we are naturally looking like an average team. 
 

Goodwin reckons it will be an arm wrestle this week.  Both teams will be super desperate.  WHO stands up for us?

News flash… if we lose it’s Armageddon!!! Goodbye top 4. We need to win.  We NEED to win.

Mids have been [censored].

Don't start until half time most games.

Big names relying on reputation.

IN Ed Langdon,Jacob van Rooyen,Lachie Hunter,Adam Tomlinson,Tom Fullarton

OUT Jake Lever (Injured),Ben Brown (Omitted)

I would think:

IN Langdon, JVR, Tomlinson

OUT Billings, Brown, Lever

Pity to drop Billings against his old club. They might drop Woey but would be harsh

There won’t be any more outs.. only 2 players are coming in. 

Question for the MFCSS types - have you been confident about a single game since Round 1, 2021? We'll win this and next week and be 8-4 going into KB. Have to say I'd be very tired being pessimistic all the time.

Petty to continue in the forward line.

Expecting more of the same, will help to have JVR in though.

Hate it but it just might work.

I just want to see something rather than nothing...this whole "trust the system" line is tired and guess what, it didn't work!  Please think on your feet and do something different because the results are saying we need to do something different, even if just to get the players a bit more excited about life and footy, they just all look flat and tired...like this "system" perhaps.

Mix it up coaches!!!

But Goody has allegedly delivered over the past 6 years so with  the current challenges can he do it some more

He is defence first coach and cannot change as the cattle are not right. It  worked for a while but will always be tested by the offensive style of teams like Sydney and CW. 


Not much to excite in the two potentials of Tomlinson and Fullarton. Both have been average at best at Casey level.

FWIW I'd have Fullarton in and swing Petty down back.

Very surprised that Hunter is named as a possibility. His game last week for Casey was woeful and I rarely criticise players to this extent. He really didn't look interested.

That means two spots and one sub left between Howes, Billings, Woewodin and Sparrow. Can't see Sparrow missing and probably not Howes so one of Billings or Woewodin is left as sub with the other missing out.

This game should be a regulation win but... who knows

Surprised Hunter is in the selection mix. Hasn't done much at Casey since returning from injury. Perhaps a Billings replacement?

The interchange will be reduced from 8 to 5  happens all the time for more changes for sunday games on friday night

According to current orthodoxy that doesn’t matter

70% of scoring is from turnovers 

so a dump kick clearance gets easily converted into a forward entry 

I’m uncomfortable with giving up on clearances but can’t fault the logic

I guess it depends on the quality of the clearance

Im not sure why the FD would name Fullo.  Unless there's a last minute out like Petty or JVR he won't be playing.

Last week was the perfect set up to bring him in and all he got was an emergency and no game time since the Match against the Blues which seems like an eternity now.

He should play for Casey this week at least but barring more injury to KFs i can't see him getting a game this season now unless he had two or three outstanding games, kicked about 9 to 10 goals and had a big ruck chop out game/s on top. 

Agree on Hunter's games so far at Casey.  Not inspiring at all and doesn't look to have built a tank yet for VFL level let alone AFL.

Can't believe we're looking to bring back another player from injury too early who is miles off being up to playing at the level.

He would also make our slow transition game of late, slower.  Which is saying something.

We were cooked come finals in 2022.

I actually think they were in good shape condition wise last year, but were cruelled by injury. 

This 150%. Our last two seasons in a nutshell - also underscores how you need luck on your side to win a premiership.

Luck has always been a massive factor, and maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems to be an even bigger factor these days.

From Saints board, made me laugh. (Btw we have a fair number of guests (lurkers) on-line… Hello there (-;

Demons board is already throwing Billings onto the “never again” pile lol

She could probably hold it mid-september and not only ensure Ed was in attendance, but increase the likelihood of some warmer weather on the day.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
