The right hand may well not be aware of what the left hand's doing when it comes to team selection at our VFL affiliate. Jordie McKenzie has been given the tough assignment of playing for Melbourne on Saturday against Carlton and suiting up for Casey a day later against the VFL Cats.

The team:-

B: Jetta Davis Nicholson
HB: Toumpas Panozza Hunt
C: Strauss Trengove Blease
HF: Best Smith Riley
F: Byrnes Fitzpatrick Petropoulos
FOLL: Jamar McKenzie Gent

POSTSCRIPT The above were the teams as announced on the Casey website but subsequently different teams have been posted elsewhere. I'm not sure who to believe but all I know is that it's likely that a team wearing Casey Scorpions colours will run out against a team wearing Geelong colours at Casey Fields on Sunday afternoon. Some of the above players might be in their respective line ups.

No Garland or Gawn

Barry Clisby Salem and Morris named on the bench in the ones but not in twos.

They play ones regardless. The others drop back to the twos of the MFC emergencies all play at Casey I assume.


You look at this team and it doesn't read as being a mile away from the ones to be honest.

Maybe that's the problem - a lot of average footballers.

I have to keep reminding myself that Nicholson is an MFC player, and not even a rookie at that.

Bloody embarrassing.

 

I have to agree Machsy on that one.

We should of delisted Byrnes and taken J Best.

Don't suppose that Simon Godfrey on the casey bench? Lol.

Bloody embarrassing.

Id throw in several others playing alongside him and also playing against Carlton.

To be a Melbourne supporter.

Would be nice to know the true story about Garland.

Why bother leading us to believe that Col would resume this weekend if untrue.

Smithy I am astounded you still give any credence to the muttering from the FD about injuries.

I believe now when they run on to the ground on match day

I believe he could play this week if we really wanted him to.

But also that Roos is deliberately laying a precedent.

That you may not be dropped for poor form if no one is capable of replacing you.

But you will not be promoted to the senior side unless you have demonstrated that you can perform the non-negotiables at Casey, or at the very least over a period at training.

And making an example of key senior players is a good way to strongly deliver the message to the playing group.


I seem to remember when we went well in the reserves, we came good a few years later in the ones, Lovett and others, what Roos was saying about getting the twos right makes so much sense, and it was good to see the goal highlights package from the Windy Hill game. Have to start watching casey more closely.

Jesus, may as well drop Jonesy for his final quarter then. Garland has to be an automatic in when you're KPD's are Georgiou and Pedersen.

According to Casey Scorpions twitter account there is a Garland playing for the development squad. Can anyone confirm if that is Colin? If do great news if he getting a half of footy in today.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
