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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
