It's all over but not in the usual way. Both teams have agreed to call time early in the last quarter with the Casey Demons winning by 6 goals. A huge downpour, wild winds and lightning have conspired to bring the game to a premature end. The score remained unchanged from ¾ time.

With Gawn out Spencer is an automatic inclusion.

Hannan Weideman and Harmes are in the gun for me.

Anyone know how our players went today??

This from the AFL site:

"Jake played [for Casey] today and he's the second ruck and the logical option, but we'll sit down during the week and assess what we're going to do," Goodwin said.

Spencer had around 30 hit-outs, 12 disposals and kicked a goal for Casey in its 31-point victory over Werribee in a VFL practice match on Saturday.  

Footnote:  Apparently the match was called off just after 3/4 time because of thunder storms.

Kielty will have to play FP or first ruck. Maybe Harmes will go back.

Just now, KC from Casey said:

The Casey Demons game for round 1 will be against Williamstown on Easter Monday at Burbank Oval at 2.00pm.

Thx Mr C. Is there any summary of best players from last nights shortened match by any chance?

Why doesn't the Melbourne Football Club make a request the the VFL starts when the AFL starts their season.The WAFL starts two weeks prior to the AFL,since they have only 8 teams they play each other 3 times. How can you pick backup players on form if their season starts rd3 to rd4 of the AFL season. Other Victorian based sides should band together a protest. The development league is worst.

Remembering that the game was shortened due to very bad weather:

Ruckman Jake Spencer seems the most logical replacement for the injured Max Gawn, who sustained a right hamstring injury against Geelong.

Spencer lined up in Casey's final pre-season practice game and had 30 hit-outs, 12 touches and kicked a goal in the 31-point win.

Casey coach Justin Plapp told AFL.com.au on Sunday that Spencer dominated the hit-outs and "was able to mark the ball really well around the ground".

Plapp said defender Sam Frost looked a lot more comfortable in his second game back from a toe injury, as he continues to build match fitness.

The Casey coach added omitted midfielder Angus Brayshaw (25 disposals) was clean by hand at ground level and "showed signs of what we need him to be doing contest to contest".

MFC alone wouldn't be taken notice of but if the whole Vic based clubs protested possibly there could be some traction

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
