ANB gets another run in the 2's.

Makes sense I guess.

[Young Dee 1,303]

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.

[rhaz 342]

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

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

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.

[Slartibartfast 16,050]

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)!

Not sure but am i right in thinking it is now an open park?

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Thrilled for White being named on the bench for the first team. Great reward for the effort he's putting in. I really hope he gets a run.

[spirit of norm smith 13,526]

No Petracca & Trengove (LTIs), Viney, Hunt & Frost.

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

Not sure but am i right in thinking it is now an open park?

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

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

[KC from Casey 6,730]

It's quarter time in the Development League game and Casey leads 4.1.25 to Werribee 4.0.24.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,726]

How's Neal-Bullen going KC?

[KC from Casey 6,730]

How's Neal-Bullen going KC?

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

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,726]

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?

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

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

[deanox 8,838]

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.

[CBDees 3,162]

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

[dworship 3,342]

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
