i can't believe oliver would be rested with a bye coming up - we need our best players out there, regardless that their form isn't necessarily the best they can be; it's still better than the majority of other mids we have

my best guess is we'll go smaller in defence to try and limit their ground level game...

B: McVee - May - Rivers
HB: Bowey - McDonald - Salem
C: Langdon - Pickett - Windsor
HF: Petracca - Petty - Neal-Bullen
F: van Rooyen - Fritsch - Chandler
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/c: Laurie - Howes - Sparrow - Turner
Sub: Billings
Carryover emergency: Pup Brown

i think they would've announced it already if it was happening

I'm not sure, very different selection week. They basically didn't even name a casey team, just a squad. I'm speculating a potential debut as K Brown, Laurie and Howes were all actually named on the ground for Casey initially, instead of the bench like we're used to for tentative picks. Selection thought has gone into K Brown, Laurie and Howes and I don't think we'd mess with that unless they were playing at AFL level. Still wild speculation though.

Kynan Brown to debut??

Would love that if he has the kms in his legs. Has better goal sense than Chandler IMO.

Can't see them making this move given The Age article.

Which article? Also, generally we play one or two of our emergencies in the VFL, so its unusual to have named casey players on the ground pulled out just to be an emergency.

We have at least Hunter, McAdam, Woewodin and Tommo not playing this week (Hunter Inj., rest playing for casey today), so 3 outs from our 22 and a sub needed.

From the three named on-field Casey players not on the final lineup (K Brown, Howes and Laurie), I think they will all play (or sub), as I don't see us withdrawing a Casey player that wasn't on the IC unless they were playing.

I think of the two players originally named on the bench but not playing (Turner and Billings), one will play and one will be an EMG who doesn't play VFL this week. Most likely Turner will play, and Petty may even move down back.

Generally clubs don't play a debutant as a sub, and I don't think we will. Howes also played great in the VFL so I think he will play. Sub likely Billings or Laurie.

Windsor playing for Casey too. 

Out 

Hunter, McAdam, Tomlinson, wowoedin, Windsor  

In 

JVR, billings, Laurie, howes, K brown?

I'm guessing either 

Howes sub = Petty back 

Or 

Laurie/billings sub = Petty forward

Just read the article, seems Clarry will definitely play and that Goody is still too stubborn about Petty forward. I also think we'll want to go a bit taller up forward so Turner will stay in and Roo for McAdam.

Straight swaps Howes-Tommo and Roo-McAdam.

Then we pick from K Brown, Billings and Laurie for Hunter and Woewodin. To be honest, I'm still leaning on a K Brown debut and Laurie sub, since they were both named on the ground at casey, but Billings could play.

Hunter is great but keeps getting injured. Not very excited about Billings, McAdam and Schache. Billings and McAdam have shown glimpses but not enough to get that excited over. Schache just seems like a VFL player, not enough drive for AFL level.

I’m surprised Leigh Matthews is publicly advising that our players focus their attention on the filthy POS thug tomorrow…

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
