Any worries about Salem? Goodwin said he was subbed off after some knee soreness I think. He looked a bit proppy in the third. 

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle

rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

    I think Windsor has to go. Couldn’t even execute basic handballs last night. Needs a rest.

    Also AnB must tag Zorko and we need Petty to play a defensive forward role on Andrews. If we can nullify those two we might get a look in.

    Yep agree but you may have forgotten their mids. They are miles in front ours and give good service to their forwards who are looking dangerous even Hipwood.

    Why?

     Cause he has stuck fat with Oetty stinking up the whole joint this year. This is why selection integrity is crucial.

     

    If Oliver got grumpy with his tag on Saturday get ready for Jarrod Berry’s attention

    Oliver hates him too after the eye gouge in the 2022 SF.

    Can't see this ending up in anything other than a 40+ point lions win, hope I am wrong however.

    As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

    They got Danniher from Essendon and Hipwood out of the academy.

    I agree - 2 teams going opposite directions right now.  Swans look unstoppable however if Brisbane get back to their best they could take them on GF day

    Also think Carlton and Collingwood could account for Sydney on GF day, but that's for another thread.


    We have plenty of tickets available for this match. A number of folks who’d registered interest in tickets have informed us they can’t/won’t attend.

    We sit behind the goals in section 16/17, Wellington Rd end (Gate 8). No opposition colours in our bay. Dees only. 👍🏽

    We can win if we win the centre clearance (easier said than done against Brisbane but crucial at the GABBA) and kick straight.

    I think our structure would look better with Turner in defence and TMac forward.

    Tomlinson does not have a great match up even if Lever fails to get up.

    Oliver to be rested for the remainder of this year

    Come at me....

    I'm not sure that would be good for his mental health - keep him active and involved. Boredom and disengagement can be toxic.

    Agree and I'm not trying to be obtuse with my suggestion, or controversial

    I wonder if he could be in the coaches' box as he gets his mind and body right?

    2025, with all the stars aligning, we'll have The Trac back, and a rejuvenated Clayton?

    Yep I agree chook, I still think we'd be better running him as sub for a while and give some youngsters a crack first.

    Having him come on midway through the third as an impact player might be a better way to manage his fitness levels for the moment. Might be a better way to reduce his frustration with the heavy tags flright from the start of games too.

    Can't See it happening though.

    Can't see him being dropped either with Tracc out now.

    He is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen. God I hope he gets back to his best somehow and he's still wearing our jumper.

    A wicked problem for everyone at the club right now

    He can remain active and involved at Casey. Not sure why he is playing tbh, he is not helping in anyway.

    Not playing - just training and doing extra sessions, that he has to pay for

    I'm sure he can afford it

     

    Out Salem injured and Howes

    in Lever Moniz Wakefield

    No way - Howes, Tholstrup, Turner, Brown - these guys need to play every game this year, to see if they're going to make it

    It's about 2-3 year planning now....2024 is cooked

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
