With all clubs enforced to have a week off before the season, clubs can ask for special dispensation for players that have played minimal matches, coming back from injury, etc to be allowed to play this weekend.

Who would the Demons request?

I would have thought Sylvia, perhaps Buckley but most others have played, so.....

    Jared Rivers told me at the Family Day that he played 75% of the match at Casey and was looking to play this weekend with Casey to get a longer time on the ground. He said that with the expectation that he was going to be playing.

    I wouldn't have thought 'special dispensation' includes missing football because you were suspended for being a [censored]?

    Agree that Buckley definetly needs another run, his skills were woeful on Saturday.

    Perhaps Grimes to although I have no idea why he missed the last 2 weeks.

    Don't play Rivers, don't play! Oh God!

    I think maybe, - Robbo - 1/2, Sylvia, Grimes, Meeson, Zomer, Wonnaemirri, etc

    Wona would be a definite...

    Maric (if fit and training ok)? And the rookies (Healey, McKenzie, Zomer..) perhaps?

    That sounds about right, maybe a few others depending on how the fitness team assesses them. With Wona I would look at half a game max, he looked ultra fit and perhaps was previously overdone. If he looks underdone (and could benefit from more game time) then give him the whole game but if he looks sharp in the first half then that is all he needs IMO or we risk injury to a key player in a nothing match. Someone else mentioned Buckley who I can understand needing another game under the belt too.

    Could Jurrah be a chance to play a half or so this week? Apparently is training very well, and 'lit up the track' last week...

    I think, but I'm not certain, that the only AFL players who can get the special dispensation to play VFL this week are those who are returning from injury. I don't think they can play just because the AFL club wants to get more game time into them or their skills need a bit of honing.

    Casey Fields this Saturday - Reserves at 11:10am and Seniors at 2:00pm. Practice match against Box Hill.

    I believe that eligibility for this week depends on whether the player in question has missed game time through injury. That would allow Rivers to play but not Sylvia. The rookies can play.

    Jared Rivers heads the list of five senior list Demons with permission to play for Casey Scorpions against Box Hill on Saturday at Casey Fields. Joining him will be Austin Wonaeamirri, Paul Johnson, Addam Maric and Liam Jurrah plus four rookies.

    I'm surprised that Jack Grimes isn't on the list after missing the past two NAB Challenge games.

    Today's HUN has a small article saying Grimes has a back injury and won't be available for round 1. Apparently it's not the same problem that he had with his back last year.

    This alone adds a lot of interest to the game, just about makes the long trek worth it to see LJ for the 1st time!

    Shame about grimes

    He will be making his debut this saturday for Casey. This will be the first time any of his coaches have seen him play a game. Expect something special.

    Wouldn't mind a report on Jurrah from anyone attending.

    Same! Spewing i can't make it down to the game... Bring on LJ the excitement machine!!!! :wub:

    And PLEASE GOD let Rivers and PJ make it thru unscathed!

    Planning to head along, will be my first footy since we beat Freo at the G last year. Can not wait.

    Will keep the eyes peeled for the Jurrah and try and post something when I get home.

    I will check the weather. If there is any chance of rain, I'm not going; I'm not getting wet two weeks in a row.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes 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.
