I know this will go against what most think is right for where we are at.

In Campbell, TMac, Billings, Laurie.

Out: Petty, Howes, Sparrow, Sharp

Fritsch as sub.

Campbell and Gawn to offer a long target when not in ruck. Old Man TMac to play on Old Man Walker. Billings and Laurie may not be the future but their VFL form warrants selection and they have endurance and polish. There will be better development opportunities later in the season if warranted for players.

I suspect we will reintroduce JVR, Lever and Windsor but that would be wrong.

Let JVR gain touch at VFL. Let Windsor get a clear month developing his midfield role. Let Lever show he can actually add value defensively.

    Tall big and strong

    No Petty so I guess Turner may go back and T mac in

    The most uninspiring comments that this topic has seen for a long, long time

    I suppose Fritsch and Sparrow (Drink Card Boy) will hold their spots

    I don't get the reference to a drinks card. Clearly I'm missing a simple explanation here. Which you can give in the next response :)

    Petty & Howes, and in the last 5 minutes, Turner was hobbled and could not move. It could get worse.

    Here's an idea, play JVR at CHB and play a 2nd ruck who can relieve Max and not make either Jeffo or JVR go anywhere near the ruck. Play Verrall and let us see what he's got. Kentfield showed a bit up forward, and before this showed something down back. Only BIllings showed enough to deserve a game

    Windsor has lost all confidence and couldn't get a kick at Casey so no point bringing him in. I'd like to see Kentfield played on a wing in the same way most sides have a tall wing who drifts forward for goals. He is mobile and athletic.

    JVR/Johnson for Petty. TMac for Howes - should never have been dropped

    No point looking at casey for replacement midfielder for Viney if suspended. The best Casey midfielders were casey players. Probably use Langdon as the extra mid.

    Wouldn't mind Culley as the sub.

    We've got to get some more hardness. That first quarter was embarrassing. When we ramped up the pressure we won the last 3/4's.


    Outs. Petty and Howes concussion

    Viney and May should definitely NOT get suspended for their actions. Ainsworth got up immediately. May gets the ball.

    JVR replaces Petty (need as a marking option and 2nd ruck)

    TMCD replaces Howes ( Dees need Turner, May and Tmcd to counter Fogarty, Walker & Thilthorpe )

    That’s it !!! Play the kids again Jeffo, Kolt, Langford , Lindsay

    Lever had a stinker in the VFL. He has lost any aerobic ability to run to the contest. I think his ankle issues are ongoing unfortunately

    No one else at Casey demands a promotion. Kentfield & Mentha are still developing

    @Demonland

    Mcvee May Tmcd

    Rivers Turner Bowey

    Langdon Trac Lindsay

    Fritsch JVR Chandler

    Koooozzzzzyyyy Jeffo Melksham

    Well, young ‘un, a long time ago when the VFL ruled and Fitzroy existed, players would frequent night clubs and be given free drink cards - thus, by equivalence, the only thing that Tom Sparrow brings to this team is that he is the conduit that gets players free drinks everywhere he goes!

    May can still win the ball but is too loose in a lock down on a good key forward. Free him up.

    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.

    Collingwood would never have accepted 3 interstate trips in a row. There would have been an uproar. This is unprecedented and the only reason it's been deemed ok is because we just don't have the power of a big club to push back

    I think our media game is poor

    We could be leaking to the media from the president about how Pooh it is when it’s released and unnamed sources will be meeting with the afl to change it

    We are not a serious club

    Isn’t that kind of what St. Kilda have been doing and everyone is criticising them for it?

    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?

    How about play Lauries for a full game and give him a look in the midfield? It’s where he plays at Casey?

      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.
