I'm up on the Gold Coast and I'm off to see the Scorpions play Gold Coast at Southport tomorrow.

It's going to be tough missing the Dees game at Etihad but the warm weather and the fact that I can tape the game which is shown live here is some consolation.

I've done a little bit of detective work and am pretty sure that Jared Rivers is a designated emergency for the AFL game at Etihad.

It appears that he didn't fly up with the Casey players this afternoon because at around 5pm on Twitter he announced:

"Just hitting up the movies with the boys."

A few of the "boys" (including Nathan Jones and Ricky Petterd) went to see Iron Man 2. After viewing that pap they should be ready to kill tomorrow.

My guess is that Jake Spencer will also remain in Melbourne as an emergency for the North game and, if not required, will play in the ruck on Sunday for the Casey 2's where he was also selected.

I don't know whether the VFL rules limit teams to 12 AFL listed players against Gold Coast but if they do then Rohan Bail could also miss out.

Still, it will be a good opportunity to view how Jack Watts is travelling!

It's a beautiful day on the Gold Coast with the temperature expected to reach the high 20's.

I haven't seen the ground before but, with conditions like these, I would expect the roof will definitely be off :) !

My spies tell me that Rohan Bail is up here but he may not have recovered from his quad injury. I think it's likely that the Scorps will go in with 12 Demons in the team as per the starting 18 minus Rivers.

Just got home from the game. For the first time in forty years parked the car beside the boundary fence, and watched the game from the comfort of the front seat. Was able to greet each Casey goal with a long blast of the horn. Great fun! (Pity about the ABC commentary of the Melb match to put a real downer on the day!)

Was my first VFL match, so can't comment too much on the quality of the game. But, the scores were pretty close all day, and the two teams seemed to have a pretty even tussle of it.

Have to say wasn't actually overwhelmed by the performances of most of the Melb players. Must admit was hard for my old eyes to pick up a lot of the play on far side of the ground. But from what I did see:

Miller -- Apart from a couple of excellent goals, thought he was ordinary at this level,

Newton -- About the same as Miller,

Watts -- Really didn't do much, either.

Maric -- couple of nice things, but nothing to get excited about,

Jetta -- Rarely sighted. Couple of good chases, but almost seemed disinterested on occasions,

Gysberts -- Did a few nice things, but again nothing startling,

Cheney -- did some nice things, and was solid in defence,

Strauss -- as per Cheney,

Johnson -- again, nothing spectacular,

Hughes -- thought he was just about the best of the Melb listed players. Did some really good things.

Healey -- didn't see much of him.

Bell -- Hardly sighted.

McNamara -- did a few nice things.

Spoke to Casey runner before the game. He said Bail is still struggling with a real bad corkie, so unable to play.

So, from my point of view, a good, workan-like performance from the team to run out winners by about a goal. But, alas, didn't really see any performances where any of the Melb players stood up and demanded a place in the Melb side next week. But, I can stand corrected!

Also, was great to meet Whispering Jack at half time and have a good chat. Didn't realise he was Andy's old man!

Anyway, think I'll now watch just the third quarter of the Melb match...!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
