    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)!

    Wouldn't think it was, how would they make money?

    I haven't been there since the 80's looking forward to going

    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.

    Is anybody going to be there that can send through a commentary?

    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: 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
