    May in for someone ... Adams presumably (even though that's a bit harsh)?

    Not sure who for Windsor unless it's Woewodin or Brown, and Billings has been pretty consistent at Casey.

    Cupboard is always bare at this time of year.

    Adam’s would be pretty stiff to be dropped after a reasonable debut.

    K Brown for Windsor?

    Mentioned maybe but for whom?

    May for Adams would normally make sense. But with only two games to go, you could make a case for giving the youngster some more AFL experience and letting May's battered body have a good rest before the next pre-season .

    Brown or Woewodin for Windsor? Either change will probably weaken the team. Not much use promoting Billings, who does not seem to feature in any long-term plans.

    As for the rest, everyone in today's team (with the possible exception of Sparrow) did enough to keep their place.

    May for Adams

    Kolt for Windsor

    Howes back, Bowey forward, Sparrow sub.

    It’s not harsh to drop Adams. He’s not ready. You can tell at Casey he’s not ready. He loses concentration and doesn’t seek out the ball. It’s good he got a taste and there were some flashes but he has to take that back to vfl and dominate.

    I think Kolts going to be a good solid player but wouldnt reward him yet.

    Windsor out.

    We only need replace the sub.

    OUT: windsor, adams, sparrow
    IN: may, tholstrup, woey 2.0

    there's honestly not much at vfl level pushing for a call-up, despite their game being a ripper contest and great win

    Need a runner in tho. Can’t have May for Windsor.

    We could leave Sparrow in the starting 22, or drop him entirely but I think sub is a fair compromise. I don’t want to disrupt Casey too much either, those guys are having a good crack at finals.

    Lindsay in not Kolt is an option too, but I’d like to see Kolt play a little defensive mid.

    You missed Viney. The Shah of shoelaces

    It would seem a bit unfair to drop Adams after he was given the impossible task of guarding Naughton who's in the form of his life, but I can't imagine we'll be leaving May on the sidelines.

    I imagine Windsor will miss the remainder of the season. Lindsay seems the most logical replacement but Kolt has also had a good block of VFL form. I can't see any of Woey 2.0, Laurie or Brown getting a look in anytime soon.

    Might be an unpopular opinion but as much as I'd love to see Kentfield or Brown get a go next week, Casey kinda has more to play for at this point. With two dead rubber games to go for the seniors, why bother messing with a team that needs the momentum going into finals? Is it worth a call-up for 1 or 2 games? Maybe? Maybe not.

    Very likely. All things considered the likely option.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
