Pretty strong side - only regular senior player missing is Lumumba. Will Grimey play in the BP? Hopefully our seconds can make amends against the Saints seconds this weekend.

I don't quite see the logic in naming Joel Smith in the starting 18 of both sides.

Salem in the Development League???

Inside word is Salem will play 1st half only this week. Club will monitor closely.

When I see Terlich's name it doesn't even register as a Melbourne listed player. I think everyone including the club have forgotten he's on the list, just check his bio on the Melbourne website, hasn't been updated since 2014.

Wow 41 available players... only Lamumba missing from my best 22 (25).  Mitch King and VDHberg are the others unavailable.

With this many players available it is only a matter of time before we give Casey our annual rogering and send everyone in for early surgery. Prove me wrong please MFC.

I'm hoping we can get Vanders back to his best in the AFL for next week. There's really only one way to do that, so I'm hoping he gets the Casey coaches box role this weekend.

I blame Misson.

It's a start ... maybe he'll be right for the last few matches.

Lets see how many are available for Casey in the finals.

I just saw a player named Hiscock. 

 

Sorry.  Juvenile, but that's just a really unfortunate name.

Pretty sure there are a few teammates who love playing with him.

Maybe your best 22 but not everyone's, including mine. 

Hunt and Wagner and Salem offer far more, and are our future not Collingwood's past.

Mate you just had my whole family in stitches in our living room. Gold.

Well said Monoccular!!  Can't wait to rid ourselves of Dawes & Lumumba. We certainly appreciate why Collingwood more than just traded both of them, they actually PUSHED them out the door. 

I really resent both of them!!!

Typo

With four players in the Development League, I hope that someone will be reporting on that match?

Well as I prepare to sit down and watch another Casey game on TV I shudder to think what I'll see.

Casey is an awful place for football.  I'm expecting to see a windswept ground where skill execution will be next to impossible and a mud heap where we see 1960's conditions.  The ground and location make proper football development very hard.  In the last few months Casey has played in some awful conditions where talls are cruelled and mids reduced to stacks on the mill footy.

We need to ensure the Casey ground is upgraded and pray for some windless days (actually I'd love to dump Casey and play at Punt Rd or the Collingwood training ground).  The reality is that our Casey players don't play in conditions they'll face at AFL level and can't practice the skills they need to play at that level.  Both Grimes and White suffered from that at Etihad IMO.

Anyway I hope I'm wrong about the conditions we face today and have a healthy dose of egg on face but if not it's as frustrating as hell.

Windy conditions, Casey lead by 8 points with Terlich kicking the first goal.

Kennedy in everything so far and Spencer looks dominant in the ruck.

Hulett kicks Casey's second, lead out to 14 points after so good clearance work from Spencer, Newton and Oliver.

$80,000 spent on the ground. Thank heavens. 

Coldest place on earth.

Casey leads 14 - 6.
