We had a second AA ruck signed sealed and delivered. They gave it 10 weeks to work then gave up, and crashed out in straight sets for the second year in a row. They traded that ruck to another co

Still, it presents an opportunity for those at Casey who are pressing for senior selection. Oh, wait …

Game starts at the ungodly hour of 5am my time so I will most likely be watching later at breakfast and coffee. People coming for lunch so I will celebrate/drown sorrows with some excellent wine and food. 
 

Dees to win in AFS by 5 goals and move into 3rd on the ladder.

This year, I am firmly ensconced at The Manor for what I expect to be a tough and close struggle.

Max will simply have to be more superhuman than ever as he is facing a two on one against a couple of serious players. As a team, a slow start must be avoided and we will need to take all our chances inside 50.  Fritta is always reliable but we will need contributions from McAdam and Petty.

Our defence will be the difference.

Dees by 13 points.

Not certain, but I think this is one ground where we kick particularly poorly for goal.

We are actually ok at kicking for goal at Traeger Park, this is without OOF and no score shots.

Last year was a shocker, but the conditions were putrid.

In 9 games we are 106.95 since 2014.

Under Goody total is 77.64

2017 - 18.14 v Suns (W)

2018 - 23.8 v Crows (W)

2019 - 11.12 v Eagles (L)

2020 - 8.4 v Saints (W)

2022- 12.11 v Port (W)

2023 - 5.15 v Giants (L)

Well I got that wrong.

Must have been swayed by last year.

Game could go either way. Very similar for points for and against. One of the teams most similar to us in strengths and weaknesses, will mostly be up to our personnel to get it done. Need to curtail the likes of Young, Serong and Frederick.

I'm currently in the latter. 4am start. 

Feels like a home-game though, as I've spent a bit of time living in Darwin in recent years. Shame AMW didn't get a call-up, just a 15 hour drive for his kin.

Chandler noted the sun was beating down at 18C in Alice yesterday, hopefully it's not too slippery.

Perfect conditions for footy and a typical Alice winter day, glorious sunshine, dry and a cool light breeze. The ground is looking good despite the rain earlier in the week. I’m not confident but I never am. MFCSS is real 😬🔴🔵🏆

I’ll take the 23.8. Actually 8.4 likely gets it done against Freo. Don’t care what it looks like we just need to get it done today.

it'll be a tough contested game. Freo no world beaters but they'll put up a fight. They remind me of us in a lot of ways. Plenty of heart and endeavour but not the most skilled.

Max has a busy day ahead dealing with Darcy and Jackson. He'll earn his pay check today. 

Amiss is a very good forward but has a bad case of the yips at the moment. hopefully he doesn't rediscover his mojo against us. if he does we could be in trouble.

I think this is Kossies stage. He'll put on a show and get us over the line.

I reckon supporters of both sides will be wondering which version of their own team will turn up today. Or not turn up.

Dees by 16, midfield and ruck battle will be immense. Our class in the forward line will take us over the line. They simply don't have the same fire power we do, if we get supply we should win.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
