Werribee is Casey's bogey team but this is a must win (I say that every week, I know) for the Scorps to secure their place in the finals.

A fairly large contingent of Demons is expected to front up on Sunday for the main game at Casey Fields but don't expect them to line up like this:-

It would seem that Oscar McDonald has been dropped to the development league team. Maybe they're giving him a "rest" this week because this review of his game for Casey against Collingwood VFL from coach Justin Plapp isn't too bad except for the reference to him getting beaten "a couple of times in one-on-one contests". I believe the player who beat him those couple of times was a Collingwood AFL premiership player.

Oscar McDonald: Oscar had 17 possessions and he’s kicked a really good goal from outside 50, where he broke the line and got the ball out the back of the opposition and went through for a 60 or 70-metre goal. He did some great things with as third man up and dropped off a couple of times. He also took some really courageous marks, but got beaten a couple of times in one-on-one contests, so we’re really working hard with him on those. We understand that’ll come with maturity. But he’s giving us what we expect from him at the moment, without trying to put too much pressure on him either.

They've also named vandenBerg and ANB which means that they have three players in the 22 named to play Collingwood.

Who do they think they're kidding?

Surely if vandenBurg, Harmes and ANB play in the seniors (Melbourne, that is), Oscar, King and White play in the Casey seniors. It's all a bit silly. I'm in favour of abolishing the "Emergencies" anyway. There seems to be no problem plucking another player and playing him instead of those named as an Emergency, so why persist with this farce?

Also interestingly both players that got injured and didnt see out the game, Fitzy and Toump are named.

Ed Morris didnt recover though by the looks. Very strong side otherwise.

King and White in Dev team is also a joke, let alone The Biz, vdB and Harmes in Snr team. White was pretty good in the patches that I could pick him out. King in dev squad is a nonsense.

King is still developing, but believe me, he is developing this season. He held his own on a few occasions against more mature and well developed bodies. They miht not have been his height, but well built and able to hold their grpund. Kingy showed he could take the odd overhead grab against them (and lose plenty of contests too - don't get too excited yet). But he also showed he is poised and intelligent when kicking towards goals - either to score himelf, or to kick to advantage of others (e.g. Hunt).

Yes noticed that too, even if only off the replay. Some chemistry between a tall and a small in the forward line is something we've missed for a long long time.

White was our best according to the coach.

Never take notice of the team lineups at Casey, they are never right as they are waiting on the final AFL line up...

A big shout out to Declan Keilty who will debut tomorrow as Casey's 23rd man. A terrific young kid who got overlooked in last years draft but continues to work his backside off and is getting the rewards he deserves. At 195cm and still only 19 I think this kid has a massive future. Good luck Dec.

I'll be heading to the game, but yes it is interesting that Oscar has only been named in the development team. King & White were named in both, so I expect them to play seniors.

Maybe it's a match up thing given all Jamar, Spencer, Fitzpatrick, King, Panozza & Hutchins are going to play, maybe there just isn't a match up v Werribee for Oscar?

Disapointing for him though as he's been developing nicely.

Very much looking forward to seeing him Salem, Hunt & King go. Will also keep a close eye on Toumpas, Kennedy-Harris & White.

Might be related to the post above. If that young fella is a CHB then maybe there isn't room and Casey likely have obligations to fulfil with the 23rd player. Plus dropping Oscar back for an easy kill might be good for him. Our youngsters are tiring at AFL. No reason to dismiss that as perfectly logical if a young tall is doing the same at VFL level.

yes, but maybe the point is being made ?

Might head down tomorrow, only 35 minutes down the road. Hopefully a few of the boys from today's win get down too.

What's the best place to park? How much is entry? (sorry for the questions that have probably been answered ad nauseum)

Unless there's a special event on (and it would have to be a big one) parking is no problem at Casey for VFL games. There's a big car park just next to the grand stand and plenty of other parks around the rest of the adjacent ovals.

Not sure on entry. Do you still get a Casey membership with your MFC one. I haven't been this year so not sure. Otherwise someone will know.

Yes, all you need to do is just show your MFC membership.

Casey's crash out to Collingwood last week has probably cost it the opportunity to get the double chance but I'll repeat what I've been saying for a while - this week is a must win.

The Scorpions should have around about 15 AFL listed players again while Werribee would be lucky to have half that amount given that the Tigers share their North Melbourne alignment with North Ballarat. A Scorpion loss would therefore not be a good look for the Demons in the team.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the absence of Dean Kent in either of Casey's teams this week. I suspect that it's due to hamstring tightness. :lol:

I'm still wondering what's up with Tim Smith.

He's been out for a while and hope he's back soon

I can advise that it's currently beautiful, sunny and still out casey way. So hoping for a good day of footy!

Wind has picked up since last posted.

Just watched the development team walk off the ground at half time with a 49 point lead and no sign of Oscar. Hopefully he is in with the seniors.

Nice to see the weather gods have been good to you this time Angry. A pleasant walk to the ground?

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
