Highlights:

The Casey Scorpions finally get another televised game, only their second for the season after 20 rounds (the only other time was in Round 4!)

Rookie Mitch White who started the year in the development league has worked so hard for the opportunity to play an AFL game is off to the big time so he won't be playing for Casey this weekend.

Take no notice of the team selected on Thursday night. Four or five Six or seven of the names in the team are likely to end up at Etihad on Sunday or out altogether. This suggests that the team will struggle to go further than the first week of the finals again.

Another non-selection is Sam Frost whose season is apparently over.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this but can't find any info about the game being televised.

    All I can see is Collingwood v W on 7 from 12-3pm tomorrow.

    This would make more sense given the amount of coverage received this year to date (as well as the fact that it's just W)

    Is this the same Ess side that beat our seniors earlier in the year??

    Thanks Viscount. I should try looking more often with my eyes open.

    A nice lead into the other game.

    Ah No That side had Goddard and Zaharakis in it to mention 2.

    The late withdrawals through injuries to Nev Jetta and Jake Spencer along with the failure of Chris Dawes, Heritier Lumumba and Dom Tyson to come back from injury has severely affected Casey's finals hopes. They look like going into the final tomorrow with no more than 10 or 11 AFL affiliated players and without skipper Evan Panozza and that will make them underdogs in their game against Essendon VFL.

    It's going to be a tough ask for them to go beyond this game and make it to the semi final stage.

    Any diehard Melbourne supporters going to or watching this game on TV, in preference to going to the GWS game today?

    I will probably watch both on TV

    I will be taking more interest in this game than the Etihad one.

    Shocking turn over from Fitz, Essendon another goal 26-1

    another example of an MFC aligned side making the finals and having reduced (hardly any) listed MFC Players. Life doesn't change !

    Rubbish.

    Seen our injury list lately.. FMD

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
