FF:  Kossie  JVR  Melk

MID:  Gawn  Oliver  Rivers

Bench:  ANB   Bowey  Billings  Brown  Woewodin (Sub)

In:  Gawn, Hore, Brown, Woewodin (Sub)

Out: Kolt (inj), Salem (inj), Turner

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.

    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?

    Sparrow dropped. Very interesting.

    When was the last time he played at Casey?

    • Shocked 1

    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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
