    So Jamar isn't being 'rested' as some have suggested.

    I was wondering if he was injured or something when I saw he was left out of the side. I'm liking that White is in the starting side. I have high hopes for the lad.

    I think it's probably a bit to do with having a look at Spencer to see if he is up to it. He's had a good run of form at Casey and we need to know for sure if he can step up. It's make or break time for the big fella...

    King not even starting in the ruck in the twos.

    Given that we are entering Round 6, the thought of anyone needing a "rest" sickens me. Not sure how anyone (posters) could come up with that idea in the first place.

    Interesting to think we haven't got many injuries but 5 of the 6 would arguably walk straight into the side. A quarter of the team. Kent, Viney and Jetta were in the best prior to being injured. Hopefully Viney and Jetta are back next week.

    Good to see Hunt starting back in the 2's. Hopefully he can develop into an AFL player for us.

    I hate barracking against the Zebras. I grew up next to that ground.

    Go away St. Kilda. Let me enjoy Sandringham again.

    Dam you AFL...

    I imagine this has been asked and answered before, but what's the role of the "23rd player"?

    It allows a player from the TAC Cup or similar, under a certain age, to be given a run, without taking the spot of someone in the 22.

    Someone else will be able to fill this in with more specifics..

    Great club. I still check their scores but i can't get passionate whilst the Aints have infected them!!

    Just a heads up, nice bit With Plapp at HT on the Broadcast. Mate went down there to film it, from all reports he is really popular and the system down at Casey is run super professionally.

    Thanks DemonDave. Just to go one step further, is the 23rd player an additional interchange player or a substitute? If a substitute, is this as well as or instead of the 22nd player being the substitute?

  • Quote

    I don't think they have substitutes in the VFL.

    He is an additional player. He must be 20 years or younger and must not have been previously listed by a VFL/AFL club.

    He is an additional player. He must be 20 years or younger and must not have been previously listed by a VFL/AFL club.

    And he can only play a certain amount of games as the 23rd player (10 I think). The idea is to bring the younger guys up and see how they adapt. Younger Heppell was 23rd a lot last year.

    Has been playing forward this year, and has actually show a little. Doesn't mean anything that he's not in the ruck.

    Most teams are able two play two ruckman (or a good second ruck) - we don't really have that luxury so Jamar has probably had a high work load.

    He also seemed to fade out last year so I don't think it would be a bad idea (against the Swans) - if he goes down with an injury we could be in some trouble.

    He is listed at Casey though - maybe he will play 50% or as a resting forward.

    Never really had much faith in Spencer (not sure about his tap work) - hope he takes his chance.

    Have to say, looking at the team I struggle to see how Harmes will be offered another Rookie contract next year.

    Have you actually seen him play? I've watched the last 2 Casey games, and aside from Stretch and ANB, he's shown more ability to be an AFL player than most. He got injured last week and may not play, which is why he's been named on the interchange. I'd definitely give him a rookie extension, and I'd keep him ahead of Bail, Jones, Riley and McKenzie.

    Rather than look at the team, perhaps you might want to take a look at how he plays before making that call.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
