KC, is the VFL operating under the same rules as the AFL? For example, will rotations be limited to 90 per game?

Planning on heading along Saturday night, but will likely only catch the 2nd half as i'll be required to help the wife put our two boys (both under 4) to bed.

Looking forward to catching Petracca & Trengove and will be sure to provide comments.

Keen to see how Weiderman goes, i reckon he's already catching the eye of the coaches so hopefully he keeps that form up

Bit of rum in their warm milk might help make sure you get there in time for Q3. 

Hmmm seems no Max King named.

Mystery injury of the week, or has he been named in the D-League?

Surely this is taking the pi55.

Grimes at FF,  O Mac in the centre, Petracca Weidemann and Hulett on the pine.

I saw it and laughed. They are just not trying anymore. May I have a shot (assuming Wagner, Dunn, Oliver, Frost and Pedersen fly down).

Strongest Casey team I've seen in a while 

Me and a mate thinking about heading out to watch Saturday night..

I haven't been out there, whats the ground like to watch footy?

Should we drive or is it possible to get on the train so we can have a few beers?

And what do they charge on the gate to get in? Does my MFC membership get me in?

thanks in advance...

The Melbourne site says it's Max, not Mitch in the ruck KC

He's been names in the ruck on the Melbourne site Kieran, i think Max is playing and Mitch isn't named in either team

Thanks. I am part of a group that sponsors Max. A ripping young man and a real talent. Hope it is him playing.

Melbourne membership gets you in. Car is about the only way to get there.

Forgot to mention, rug up!

Can't get there by public transport as of yet.

Best bet would be train to Cranbourne & taxi/uber from there.  Will set you back $10-$15.  Not the greatest viewing ground, but they have the best bacon & egg rolls you'll ever have the pleasure of enjoying!  Melbourne membership will get you in.

I'd suggest you rug up as it gets very cold at night out there.  And if your wanting to go out for a drink afterwards I'd recommend a taxi to the Berwick Inn and train it home from there.  None of the actual pubs in Cranbourne are open after 9pm, only pokies and that's it.

And take binoculars.  Not the best viewing ground.

But will they be there. The other reason I make the 2 hour trip to Casey. Looking forward to this game because I don't think the 1sts will be a good result. Will be there a bit early to watch McInerney. Will be in the Casey seniors very shortly. Good prospect.

KC, is it Casey or the VFL that are pushing Saturday night games at Casey Fields?

I'm sure people living in the outer south east aren't overly bothered, but for most people it is a ridiculous time for a football match in that part of the world. I was hoping to take my family down for a Saturday afternoon game, then I saw the time.

Probably both.

The saturday night game last year v Richmond was probably their best attended game for the year.

Hopefully he'll interchange with Grimes as Full Forward!

So the team could lineup like this?

 

That's a lot of demon players (or at least players who have/will play AFL games)

 

CASEY SCORPIONS

B:   Garland  O McDonald Terlich

HB: Grimes Hutchins White

C:   Brayshaw  Michie Hunt

HF: Petracca Pedersen J Smith

F:   Kennedy-Harris Weideman Hulett

FOLL: Mitch King Trengove Neal-Bullen

I think the side will look something like this

Went to a night game there once, think I left at half time because as well a being an awful viewing ground the lights are not all that great.

I'm going again tomorrow, never seen Petracca play and want to cheer Jack on.  Will probably leave at half time and hope someone with 20 20 vision can enlighten me on what happens.
