I take it that Tapscott is the 23rd man and heading to Darwin as he hasn't been named in the Casey side. Could be a late change coming.

 

MFC play on the same day as Casey, so I'd say it's just being prudent and taking one of the emergencies along rather than any sign of a late change.

I noticed a twitter on MFC website (I don't own a twitter thing whatever they are) that Georgiou is doing fan sessions in Darwin. So one less at Casey?


Yarra Park closed all day tomorrow for car parking aparently. Tigers playing Lions at MCG 1:45. Punt Rd traffic might get busy around the time of the main game.

The undermanned Scorpions are struggling with their usual array of miskicks and mistakes. Halfway through the first quarter, Richmond leads 2.3.15 to 0.2.2. Max King off with an ankle injury.


Very nice goal by Pickles running around the boundary.

Nicho is playing for Casey today.


Another goal to Richmond. The problem for Casey is that their VFL aligned players are simply not up to it.

How are the MFC boys going KC?

Jesse Hogan in the stands with Spencer. Cross also looking on today. Might ask Hoges to shout me lunch.

It's hard to believe that both teams are on three wins but Casey is playing without much cohesion and spirit. Young Ed Morris goals late in the term and he is a ray of hope for this team.

 

Tigers are taller than us at both ends of the ground but its not getting down our end much. Most of the play is in the tigers half. MFC boys all getting a few touches but noone is a standout to me. JKH is a lot quieter than last week. Clisby Blease Strauss Michie Evans Nicho Riley all had a little of the play but usually it's one possession followed by a turnover. There are not enough guys making themselves good targets to pass to. Fitzy battling it out in the ruck but he's our only tall and getting pushed off the ball.

    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.

    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?
