Turner unlucky but I think we are too tall and slow up forward if he plays with Max back

I like the idea of hore in the side to play the old Hibbard role, think we really need that ball reading ability.  If wet maybe Howes instead

Pup earned a track as did Billings from their games on the weekend

Richmond got a crowd of 19K to their game against the Giants two weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. 

Given our respective member numbers and the poor forecast for Saturday night, are we in danger of falling below that number? 

SEN seems to think so. Garbage outlet.

There are people on here who have admitted that they refuse to go to games to "protest" against what they perceive to be poor performance of the club.

Our own members admit they don't go to games. Hard to blame the media from having a dig at us then.

FWIW I agree with the other posters who are concerned we will get a lower crowd than the 19k Richmond got two weeks ago. We might play well on Saturday nights but we don't draw good crowds to them, even at the best of times. I reckon we'd do better crowd-wise if this was 1.10pm Sunday. 

 

Apparently both May and Lever have pulled up sore and are in serious doubt/wont play??

Could explain the Jed Adams coach talk mentioned in the training thread.

Paging @adonski

Not sure if Goody knows the importance of the Sparrow role personally

On form he absolutely deserves to be dropped. His numbers are all down by the eyeball test is even worse, just has no impact on games.

Unfortunately the cupboard is bare and the inclusions are uninspiring. Would've much prefered to see Brown than Laurie.

Did such a great job defending the Freo mids as they won the first 24 clearances of the match. 

Sparrow dropped is great news. At his best, he is slightly unheralded. He hasn't been at his best for a long while.


So in: Gawn, Laurie, Woewodin, 

Out: Salem, Sparrow, Tholstrup

Interesting changes. Woey to get a full game as the 7th defender?

I was very surprised to see that!

Sparrow dropped. Very interesting.

When was the last time he played at Casey?

Sparrow out is left field but fair given our midfield was horrible last week. 
Not sure Laurie will do better tho. 
 

God help us with the rumours about May and Lever are true. Disco will certainly have to go back to cover May and Howes will replace Lever? 
Surely they’d have Tomlinson as emergency if May was in doubt.

Brown with 24 tackles deserved a call up Outstanding performance

I would’ve like to have seen Brown rewarded for last weeks effort

After 24 tackles, 27 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal for Casey on the weekend do we reward K. BROWN with a game against the giants?

Those sorta numbers force him into the team, don’t they?? 

Obviously not 😣

 

There’s no way we name those emergencies if May and Lever are in serious doubt. 
Brown is a bit stiff.

That's insane tackling level.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
