Casey Scorpions v Williamstown

in Melbourne Demons

maybe,

that's part of the reason i asked the question

things like flu and food poisoning could occur without travelling interstate

so why 3? why not 2 or 4 or 5?

with viney being rested it looks like we will be resting 4 players (assuming od is correct) who are close to selection

i wonder if there are any statistics across all clubs as to what constitutes "normal practice" in this situation

i'd just hate for anyone to think we were tanking list managing :)

I doubt it dc everyone now knows we are crap

Or is this setting up the best one ever!

    dc if my memory serves me I am fairly confident this has happened numerous times in the past with interstate games.

    I think is more a case of covering things like the flu than having three suspect players.

    Pretty sure you are right there 'old dee', I seem to remember it being standard practice.

    Good advice H_T

    I hope everyone remembers the emergencies for the MFC side will be in Brisbane

    So no Strauss,Nicholson or Spencer in at Casey this week.

    All played very good games last week for Casey

    Do they all need to go to Brisbane - not ideal, but take maybe one up with the team Saturday, and put the other two on an early flight Sunday? It would provide some degree of security.

    There is a good article on the clubs website about the relationship between mfc and casey, it is a good read. This week we will have between 16 to 18 mfc listed players at Casey with a couple more in the reserves. We don't need a stand alone team we basically have this with Casey. Would love the name to change to the Casey demons just to push the mfc brand more in the casey community. To me this current partnership works great for both clubs and hopefully this is the year that they can get the flag.

    Looking back a geelong and the building of their premiership list, it all started by winning the vfl flag with a very young group, this is different to when we won flags at sandy we had good vfl players on our afl list and sandy had very good vfl players. Do we do the same, really have a crack this year to create that winning culture with our young players

    Hopefully the relationship is on the improve and Casey are on the improve financially.

    Maybe the name can change when it gets to finals time and we make available more than 3 listed MFC players to the club rather than everyone go out for "surgery".

    Coupla questions for anyone who may know...

    Is there a limit to the amount of MFC listed players that can play Casey seniors? If not, then I'm a bit concerned Barry is in the seconds.

    Not 100% sure but I think there is a limit of 12?

    Could be wrong tho

    Yes there is definitely a limit. I'm not sure what it is though.

    ...A half useful response.

    My understanding is the 12 10 rule doesnt exist anymore and we can play a full mfc team if we chose to

    Did a bit of research and from what I can find out there used to be a limit of 12 but that was ditched in 2011.

    The only limit is players have to play a certain number of VFL games to be eligible for finals.

    Don't take it as gospel, but that's the info I've found.

    Given that, it's a bit deflating that Barry is playing seconds.

    Good look at part of the future forward combo with dawes and hogan together

    Mids dominating and plenty of forward 50 entries? Or are we making the most of our opportunities?

    Plenty of chances, Casey should ne at least 6 goals up. Midfields well on top.

    Great start but restricted in the second half of the term. Casey Scorpions 4.4.28 to Williamstown 0.2.2.

    The wind advantage is at least that so the Scorps have the task ahead of them in the next term.

    Goals: Dawes Dunn Hogan Taggert

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
