After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?

This Saturday we host the annual Pink Lady match. As both a Dees supporter and breast cancer survivor I’m super proud of our Club’s ongoing commitment to the BCNA. It would be awesome to see as m

Sestan was told a few weeks ago that he was close to selection and was given a couple of key items to work on in order to debut.  I haven’t followed the Casey games closely but I think he is going o

Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

I dread the inevitable dropping of Howes, Laurie and Turner for Woey, McAdam & B.Brown whilst the likes of Petty, Sparrow, Bowey etc get away with the bare minimum as always.

If Roos bring that same pressure against Eagles, they are a genuine sniff. 

Out: Billings, Laurie, Turner.

In: Woewodin, McAdam, Tholstrup.

Go bit smaller for more forward half pressure given the foot skills are way off at the moment.

Tholstrup, and play him for the rest of the year. Time to make selections for the future rather than the present. Unfortunately.

Not sure that any other changes are more than rearranging the deck chairs.

Not sure about the ins/outs, hopefully Petracca pulls up ok after the break.

If Lever isn't ready I would put Turner down back and consider bringing Fullarton in for fwd/ruck duties.

Tholstrup perhaps to get a recall. Does Casey have a game next week?

This disgraceful excuse for a support competition - no. Another bye.  A blight on player development.

FB: Howes May McVee

HB: Bowey McDonald Salem

C: Langdon Viney Windsor

HF: ANB Fritsch Tholstrup

FF: Laurie van Rooyen Fullarton

R: Gawn Oliver Rivers

I/C: Woewodin, Tomlinson, Sestan, McAdam

Sub: Turner

Those italicised should be on notice for playing totally within themselves since the bye. Petracca out maybe saves Sparrow, but I just can't put up with the lack of effort from the likes of him, Chandler and Petty every week. 

It does feel a bit silly throwing in Sestan, Fullarton and Tholstrup but there also isn't much choice unless we want to keep rewarding mediocrity.

Would like to see Tholstrup, Woey and AMW in the team next game.

Think it's worth testing Fullarton out against North, he was signed as back up.. but i'm sure he'd be doing Petty/Turner numbers in this team. Would keep JvR forward too.

Sestan must be getting closer - Does he have the tank?

Kolt in - and tell him to tackle everything in sight 

6 players who pulled on the MFC jumper today had zero tackles

I hink Lever said he'd be back after the bye.

Just play Woewodin and Koltyn for the rest of the year. Surely they couldn't do any worse than Laurie, Billings, Sparrow or Chandler at the moment

Petty , disco out or back to the backline 

One or more of the Casey forwards who have actually been drafted and played a lot of footy as a forward.

Jefferson, Luka, Fullerton , Brown can't be any worse.

Surely Kolt, and Sestan, both big bodied but inexperienced, would both contribute more than Billings and Laurie, and we definitely need a big strong body to replace Petracca.

Even Luker Kentfield would probably outdo poor Petty who is just totally devoid of confidence - I know he won't get a debut probably this season but that is how low impact or tall forwards (JVR excepted) are at the moment.   

Fullarton, if he is ever going to be selected, must replace Petty and or Turner next round.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
