Geelong v Casey Scorpions 

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Like last year, the Casey Scorpions will take on Geelong VFL at Simonds Stadium on Saturday in the curtain raiser to the Geelong v Melbourne game. 

Unlike last year, when the VFL Cats were the underdogs and won by 128 points in an ominous preview of the later game, this year they will start as favourites. 

And seating will be hard to get for the Casey folk according to the VFL website.

Due to the redevelopment of Simonds Stadium (involving the Doug Wade Stand and the Southern Terrace), a large number of reserved seats at the Stadium have been lost. As a result, this has had an impact on the entry details for VFL curtain raiser matches.  

VFL Club supporters and general public will be required to pre-book general admission standing room entry or a daily reserved seat prior to the match to guarantee their entry on match-day. 

Please see the information below about Peter Jackson VFL games that will be influenced. 

Please note: VFL Passes and Club Memberships WILL NOT give you access to Simonds Stadium for these games. All supporters must book a ticket through Ticketmaster.

I'll be back tomorrow night with the VFL teams. The Development League team has its second bye of the season this weekend (the first was just three weeks ago).

    I'll be there bright and early! Lets hope for a better result than last year in both games (one we're not allowed to mention).

    Also looking forward to seeing for the first time Rory Taggert and the possibility of Jurrah and Viney running around!

    Club allocation went on sale 2 weeks ago. Got in then, thankfully!

    Some nice ins there, good to see Cook and Gysberts starting. Watts in the back pocket is interesting.. And of course the return of Jurrah and introduction of Viney.

    How many tickets are allocated at these "interstate" Games??

    Didn't realise Geelong is interstate !

    Good to see Jurrah and Gysberts back and look forward to seeing how Viney goes. Hope to see Taggert get a run.

    Agree with your thoughts. I hope Sheehan keeps up his good start to the season as well.I feel he has a bright future along with Cook whom hopefully keeps on improving after gaining further fitness.

    No Gysberts?

    KC has him listed in the middle in the team above!

    May as well be as far as "visiting" clubs and fans are concerned.

    I hope 7 put together a highlights package to show at half time in the main game... quite possible considering Jurrah is making his return, Viney is making his debut and Watts is trying to atone for his relatively poor form.

    Fifteen listed Demons plus Viney in that side! 

    That makes Gawn, Green, Jetta, Martin, MacDonald (slated as non-playing first emergency), Strauss and Tynan (plus rookies Williams and Evans) as the only listed players who arent suiting up this weekend, thats a good sign!

    Given the now greatly reduced injury list I'd expect our performances at both VFL and AFL level to improve accordingly.

    A couple of premiership players on the wing for the Cats in Wojo and Byrnes! 

    Also see they have 17 listed Cats players named, but apart from those two very few senior games experience in their lineup.

    Just priceless to get Viney in there, I can't stress that enough.

    Other clubs cannot get their future first round pick into their system a year early and show them the structures that, evidently, take ages to learn.

    And people get to see the 'brick wall with eyes' in the flesh.

    The juxtaposition to Watts will be unfair but that is footy.

    Good luck to all involved and to LJ who I am still behind as he moves into an incredibly important May and coming months...

    Can't see Geelong's vaunted depth and smooth transition to replace their veterans in that group, but it's true that I'm not very familiar with them. Sure they've got plenty of their youth into their 1sts but they've still got plenty of veterans in the twilight of their careers. Our side looks much stronger - result will be fascinating.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
