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...

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
