Not many Casey players putting their hands up. Could simply be May for Turner though suspect McVee will make his way in as well.

    McVee and May will come in if ready

    I don't want to burst the bubble but I don't think 100 point scores are sustainable with Fritsch and JVR in the magoos, even if they didn't dominate

    Possibly but we had more effort in the f50 today.

    Petty plays the role better than JVR and I thought the absence of Fritta allowed us an extra small to put pressure when the ball hits the ground. Fullerton didn’t do much but competed and bough ball to ground. JVT and Fritta often get caught out of position and the turnover is very damaging.

    May and McVee are certainties. Difficult to drop players after today's win, but Turner is a definite out and Sharp and Melksham were probably our worst.

    It's our home game so after today's win hopefully it will bring some more fans through the gates.

    If mays good to go then I guess he's in.

    I know it won't happen but mcvee could come in for salem. Gee he butchered it today at times

    Turner out with concussion, Tholstrup will be watched closely for any late symptoms during the week you would think.

    Sparrow still needs a run in the twos, barely sighted again. Spargo is too slow for AFL.

    Out : Turner, Sparrow, Spargo.

    In : May, McVee, Culley

    Spargo, not the when quickest but was solid today. 19 disposals, 3 tackles in f50, 7 score involvements, 14 pressure acts etc, only knock on his game was his miss

    Culley? Based on what? No.

    Sharp has to go. Once again, just adds nothing.

    McVee and May will come in with Turner the out.

    Tell you what though, i watched Ollie Sestan today and he was bloody impressive off half back. With us winning, I highly doubt he comes in next week but he'll certainly be very close over the next few weeks.

    In the first half particularly, Spargos movement was instrumental in creating space in the forward line.

    He won't be dropped.

    Yeah, Salem made a few errors but I thought he played quite well, otherwise

    23 possessions at 83% DE and was involved in a lot of chained plays. 3 clangers not great though, especially for a backman

    However, from an overall perspective we turned it over 58 times (not too bad) but our overall DE ran at 78% (which is quite acceptable)

    I'd give Salem 6.5 or 7 out of 10 today. Solid enough but just needs to cut out the clangers

    What game did you watch today? Played his best game in recent memory and probably in our best 10 on the ground.

    How did McVee go at Casey today? And Goody in his post game press conference didn’t sound overly confident about May considering we’re playing on Thursday night

    Could be another game with a makeshift backline??

    Fritter, hopefully he’s got the message for Melksham, McVee for Sharp and a left field one, Kentfield for Turner if May doesn’t get up.

    It was Kentfield's first game back and first game as a KPD. He's a mile off being ready or match-fit, but took some nice grabs.

    I wouldn’t be opposed to another 2-3 games of the current set up. See how we go. If Fritta isn’t busting the door down by then, that’s a worry

    Out of interest Collingwood’s last 3 games against

    Carlton they turned it over 63 times running at 65% efficiency.

    Swans they turned it over 63 time running at 75% efficiency.

    Lions they turned it over 46 times running at 78% efficiency. They really hit their straps Friday night and were on a mission.

    I commented in numerous threads before Thursday night that not all of Collingwood’s players are elite kicks nor are all of their fwd 50 entries champagne footy but if the footy is moved quickly, kept low and delivered into an open fwd line dangerous fwds will more often than not finish it off. Turnovers may be a by product of this style of play but so is scoring. The template is now there for us, we must endeavour to play this way regardless of who’s playing.

    Fritsch is a gun, the day we decide to move the ball quickly just so happens to coincide with the days he’s in the VFL. If we are now committed to playing this way we need to get him back in asap. Do we honestly think the delivery is going to be that good at Casey.

    Yes, agree. Spargo , Melk and Sparrow need to lift though

    We laid 27 inside tackles. That did not happy by accident.

    I'm confident either JVR or Fritsch could replace Fullarton's 1 tackle today

    • 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?
