    Haha good god no, the kid would be crushed, physically but mostly mentally. 

    He seems to be slowly turning the corner a little at Casey, that’s where he needs to stay.

    That  selection would be surely the definition of desperation .He has shown absolutely nothing to date and doesn't even deserve consideration .

    Have u watched his last 3 weeks??

    i'd rather try tomlinson at full forward. at least he can take a mark

    it's desperate times so why not

    Lack of effort and competitiveness forward of the ball is our issue, he addresses neither

    Would be feeding him to the Wolves if we played him now, plus JVR and Fullarton can come into the side.

    If we out of contention with 5 Rounds to go, then I would give him a go.

    Yes I have watched him closely .He played a reasonable first quarter yesterday and that was it .Not even taking  a grab which was his one strong area .Maybe he will develop but I'm not in the least bit confident .What I am confident of is that he is not remotely at present up tp AFL standard .

    No.

    He plays one good quarter every game. Sometimes it's not even a quarter, more so 15-20 minutes maybe.

    Give Fullerton a go first. He may not be a world beater, but he is athletic and will give a contest. Jeffo ain’t there yet.

    I have, and he is showing some promising signs, so why ruin that by throwing him to the wolves before he's ready?

    I'd consider giving Sestan a run in the seniors before Jefferson. Has made some good strides this year.

    He is developing well, gets to all the right places and presents in the air well. But he is another season away from being AFL ready and will be less effective than Petty or BBB.

    Is this the prompt to call him Juice Jefferson, after your previous full forward love child?

    There are forward issues but it’s the midfield performance that’s killing us. We are missing Gus big time. Oliver is a shadow of his former self, we are a 30 plus possession midfielder short.

    What has our list managers done that's left us in a situation where we our best key forward is 187cm.

    JVR has shown some promise but he is as fustrating as Petty at times. 

    Petty was a premiership defender and we throw him forward because we can't trade/draft any one [censored] decent.

    He's just starting to find his feet at Casey Picket.

    Showed some very positive signs early on Sat but then dropped away again.

    Fullarton should've played ahead of Brown to see what he can offer and as a chop out for Max (not Petty!).

    Petty's efforts / energy would have been better served playing more time forward and as an outlet mark / interceptor down the lline tonight.

    Agree but again he is presently struggling to play out 4 quarters at a high level for Casey.

    He also seems to lack the white line manic attack at the ball to take the next step.  Might find it as the year goes on but will need to imv if he's to get the call up.

    Always looks better playing inside 50.  Pretty good by foot as well.  Is he a possibility to replace Billings?  Kicked four goals yesterday but very quiet after half time.

    • 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.
