    Assume Lever straight back in and could/should we bring in Luker?

    There’s almost no kids at Casey worth playing, that would be a silly decision.

    Adelaide are tall, has to be either Lever or T Mc in for Howes.

    JVR by default comes in for Petty.

    Otherwise the million dollar question is who comes out of the midfield or elsewhere.

    Fritsch needs to be sub. Lindsay might need a rest. Sharp’s no good. Oliver and Viney can’t play in the same side but it’s damn hard to drop either of them either.

    Spargo in if healthy for Sharp. If they want to pick Henderson or Billings and rest Lindsay so be it.

    To sum up our dire selection situation:

    May on the decline, Lever poor since his return from injury, Fritsch fading fast, JVR and Jefferson below standard, Tholstrup struggling, Petracca and Oliver nowhere near their previous levels, Salem going through the motions, and TMac probably in his final year.

    And, worst of all, no youngsters at Casey knocking on the door for selection.

    Right now, who would even want to coach this lot?

    Get everyone fresh for the North game as we might be a chance for that one.

    Was Kozzie’s hit suspendable or a fine?

    Billings and JVR put in commendable second half performances

    But neither deserve to be picked

    Petty and Howes are clear outs; Lever and plugger Mac don’t deserve to be selected… but who else is there?

    Edited by whatwhat say what


    Petty and Howes miss with concussion.

    JVR comes back because there's no one else.

    Lever's the better fit but whilst TMac's struggling at Casey, he at least was doing well in the AFL before he was dropped.

    Ironically, despite our injury list and run with fitness/injuries this year being as good as it's ever been, other than Windsor and JVR who just got dropped, possibly the only players on our list I really want to see get back into the side are AWM, McAdam and Sestan, who are the only actually injured players we have.

    Instead, what do we do - make Laurie the sub again? Give Woewodin, Brown or Culley a game off middling (at best) VFL form? Billings?

    Windsor needs to play and on a wing. Disappointed Sestan is injured, he would have been worth a go at this stage.

    I would t be disappointed if Adam’s was given a go and replaced Howes. His form has been inconsistent but give him a look at AFL level and it wouldnt hurt the club.

    Lever’s body is shot, is too slow and his disposal is below average. He needs a rest to get himself right for next year.

    JVR is an obvious one.

    Bring back TMac and get rid of Goodwin’s love child Petty.

    If you know anything about the Demons recently, T Mac is one of Goodwins favourites and was a tough call to drop him

    Petty was one of very few today to compete early but will have to go via concussion

    [censored] it play the kids. Despite pretty mid form in the vfl I’d like to see verrall and culley get a run. If the seasons cooked it’s worth seeing if these younger types have what it takes to compete.

    Has any other clubs had to travel 3 weeks in a row?

    Yes I know we had the bye in between but still.

    Think it's first time since 2020 due to covid. It's ridiculous that the club accepted this.

    I’d be more than happy for the club to throw the 💩 and boycott next week

    What do you mean “accepted”?

    We don’t get a choice.

    We also get what we deserve when we had sub-20,000 crowds in the last 2 months of last year.

    If our crowds drop off further in the last 2 months of this year, expect more of the same for our 2026 fixture.

    In: Forfeit

    Out: Playing

    Realistically the games not winnable. I had us between 8-14 this year.

    Time to try and lock down position going forward.

    Windsor is a wingman

    Jefferson stays for at least 5 more games

    Laurie at least 4 games in the middle.

    Play Thorstrup , Langford and Lindsay for remainder of the year but monitor their bodies and give breaks based on fitness, energy , not so much week to week performance.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
