Cause he played last night for Casey. We seriously have some part-timers on this site

Not everyone pays full time attention to Casey. Just sayin'

That, and possibly not the context of his question..

I'm also surprised that Tmac isn't on the standby list. He's by far and away a better player than many currently trotting around. Seems to matter little.

More selection curiosities 🤔🤷

    PF I don't think you can play Jefferson and JVR together. Neither is good defensively and if they don't mark they contribute very little.

    Agree especially in the wet

    I understand van rooyens selection. I just hope he clunks his marks, but Howes & koltyn selection is a head scratcher.

    I love koltyns enthusiasm but he hasn't been the player I thought he'd would have been.

    Howes well just do something.

    I can be enthusiastic but I wouldn't get a kick, the kolt always seems to get low statts and very few goals.

    As much as I don't mind the selections I shudder to think if Lever gets into one on one against either Mihocek or McStay. Hes a real liability down back and i feel we've dropped the ball on this one with McDonald not in.

    JVR was always going to get the nod purely on being able to ruck. Let's get him back into form now!

    Tholstrup just needs more exposed form and experience. If he is going to be an important part of our talent moving forward then let's get games into him.

    Howes has actually been dominating at Casey. Reward for form. Collingwoods forward line is elite. He could take either Elliot or Hill.

    Would have loved to have found a spot for Jefferson but who do you take out in return?

    Yep. I get we want a fit and firing Lever in our backline but he's a fair way off at present. Needs to really lift tomorrow.

    I know that, my question is why has he been dropped the last few games

    T Mac certainly stiff. I reckon his distribution is the issue. He turns it over and has continued to do this at VFL level

    Turnovers equals goals in todays footy

    The other factor is Turner being great down back

    It's also likely to be wet it's dangerous to go into tomorrow's game with 2 tall forwards who's only contribution is marking.

    JVR over Jeffo is an easy decision. One has shown something at AFL level, the other nothing

    Good to see JVR back in

    Jeffo has not earned it yet after his pathetic performance last AFL game

    Howes is an interesting one

    T Mac played vfl so not a surprise

    Only semi Devils advocate.. what exactly has JVR done to set the world on fire ?

    Seems to me he's sqeaking in on thin merit.

    Well Roo, over to you. Might not be the best day to try pack crashing marks 😉

    I'm actually happy that Cox played VFL and not an inclusion. Cox has played some blinders against us and he always goes in hard against Gawn almost with an intent to injure.

    McStay will be severely underdone and I hope they select him.

    Back it in, McStay will play well.

    Petty is the big bodied experience up forward that we need regardless of what others may think he adds as a forward.

    Take him out and Jefferson or JVR get a Darcy Moore. Jefferson is years away from taking the number 1 defender on and JVR struggles as being the number one key forward.

    Petty is important for our forward structure.

    We have no depth. It's just the truth. We'll question changes every week because the cupboard is bare, even with an incredibly fit list.

    Petty has proven himself at this level 100 times over Jefferson, and gives us the flexibility to send him down back if one of their talls gets off the leash, or we want to swap him and Turner around.

    Unfortunately Jefferson has no versatility. He can’t ruck or defend, which is unfortunate, because on form the last two weeks he deserves a game.

    Agree. If he plays. Anyway Howes is clearly there for cover. Glad he is in. Was unlucky to be dropped in the first place and has been outstanding in the VFL...REALLY good, as the Casey coach would say (he uses the word ad nauseam).

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
