    ANB gets another run in the 2's.

    Makes sense I guess.

    As he said in his interview on MFC - last week he did 50% game time and this week he will aim to do 80%. Next week he could play Seniors.

    Pretty sure there are limits on AFL listed players in the VFL, makes sense to play the guys coming back from injury (ANB) or physically not ready (OMac) in the twos

    Still not bad we will have 39 players from the squad in action this weekend, and guys being given time to return from injury properly and develop properly

    especially if they've missed a chunk of pre season

    or coming back early from injury, ease them back in

    KC might correct me but I don't thin there are. Not for the regular season anyway.

    But as you said ANB is coming back from injury, Oscar is competing with Panozza (the captain) and Hutchins (ex Gold Coast) for a tall defender spot and is lightly framed, King is behind Gawn, Spencer and Pedersen for a ruck/forward spot and will get his chance as the season goes on if he stays in good 2's form and White is obviously not far off the seniors and has a few decent guys ahead of them.

    I don't want those 4 stuck there all year but I'm sure they'll get a chance. It's certainly good culture building stuff for the Casey guys to know selection is on merit.

    The Dogs have a strong team in, but will take at least 5 out for their AFL bench plus emergency.

    Will be interesting to see if they've dropped Minson. Wouldn't surprise me.

    I hope they have. The more quality opposition Gawn and Spencer get to play against the better.

    Does anyone know if they let dogs into the Oval (no pun intended)!

    How's Neal-Bullen going KC?

    Can't tell you because I'm not at the ground - only passing on the scores.

    Big day for our boys. A couple of spots opening up so I expect some big performances from Grimes, Bail, Toumpas and Jones.

    Great win by Casey in the Development League but disappointing to not see any of the four Demons listed amongst the best players!

    On another note, is there any radio station broadcasting the match today?

    This side looks strong on paper, does anyone know anything about the Footscray side & are we a reasonable betting proposition @ $3.75, i'm all cashed up after wins on Dees, Pies & Port

  • Quote

    Footscray are reigning premiers and Casey finished 2nd last, last season.

    However we have been in good form and are looking like a genuine competitor.

    Without knowing the sides intimately, I'd suggest 3.75 is overs in a two horse race. If we win this you won't see those odds again this year. That being said, this is our first genuine test for the season.

    What are they offering for the line? Given the rain, and the low likelihood of big scores, that may be a better bet.

    Casey Radio FM 97.7. You can listen on line as well. I've got it working on the Laptop at work at the moment.

    Minson is playing as well should be an interesting game

    • 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.

      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?
