The VFL action moves across to picturesque Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday afternoon where the Demons were once the AFL affiliate of the Zebras before the swap took place with the Saints and club ended up with Casey.

The teams are evenly matched and it promises to be an interesting spectacle with plenty of AFL listed players taking part.

Every chance there could be up to 18 Melbourne listed players getting a run this week with only Melksham, Mitch King, Vandenberg & JKH to miss assuming everyone pulls up ok.

Monster forward line for Casey this week... Dawes, Weideman, Hulett, Max King (add Tim Smith from Casey squad).

No shortage of height in the Casey Back line as include Frost, Dunn, o.mcd (add Hutchins, Keilty).

Kelity may find himself in the D Squad due to the players that may be available pending injury.

Jordan Moncrieff was showing a bit in the 1's last year as well, can't crack that squad this year due to our availability of talls..

6 missing

Melksham - 2016 suspension. He will be cherry ripe in 2017 as our midfield pace increases.

Jkh - 3 weeks - missed 5 weeks already. Place on the list is now under threat for 2017. Ben Ken, Garlett & Kent all ahead of him. 

Mitch King - season

Vandenburg - 3 weeks. He will be bursting to get back

Lamumba - concussion and now rested for 2 weeks to be extra cautious. Young or old, Dees like to rest players.

Matt Jones - general soreness. Played 1 week in last 6 weeks. Continues to be the weekly mystery player to miss. Not even mentioned as injured in the last mth. WTF. Does anyone know why is missing again ????

Spent a few months in Hampton back in 1999 so I'll head down to the Beach Oval and relive the good old days.Good timing as I've been working in Cranbourne the last couple of weeks so the last place I want to go to is Casey Fields.

Should be a good game,go Casey!

His back according to Misson's video. A bit of soreness and hopefully he will be back up next week. 

 

VDB playing next week. Then VFL bye. Them JKH the week after.

Thanks. Is Harry Lamumba suffering more than concussion??

JKH is really, for reasons not entirely in his control, slipping way behind the pack.  

It will be interesting if he has the ability and the application to get back up into top 30.

It's amazing to think how that's happened.  2014 and his big 5 minute burst against the Tigers isn't all that long ago.  He hasn't reached those heights since.

Injury hasn't helped - others have had, and have seized the opportunity to overtake him.

I really hope he can take up the challenge, as he will have to be a really good player to make from here. 

This might be the tallest Casey side ever. Hulett, Dawes, Frost, Weidemann, Spencer, Hutchins, Dunn, O Mac, Keilty. Sure this won't work?

There seem to be a lot of Sandy players from the Saints side that beat us a couple of weeks ago.

Even if, like us, they take 4 out for subs.

He's safe in that he's contracted until the end of next season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded out

Petracca named in both Casey and Melbourne teams?

Am I missing something?

He is named on an extended 1sts interchange bench; they always name the extended bench in the Scorps team too until the 1sts team is finalised.  That is why Casey always has a crazy long interchange bench.

That named side would beat half the Demons sides we fielded 2012-2014. Although they obviously won't line up that way.

He is such a gun he is going to play in both. games.

Ah of course.

As long as he uses the opportunity to display his peacock strut in both games, I'm all for it.

No Casey Scorpions players named in VFL Squad of 30 players. Surely Tim Smith or Jack Hutchins were worthy nominations.

There are a couple of names in there who are going to be playing seniors this week, so the team changes a little.

Richmond will take him.

No chance it will work, Casey will lose this week unless they drop a couple of those talls to the Dev league and replace them with runners

The whole MFC bench comes out of that named team and they are all mids.

He'll be the icing that their list needs.
