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:

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
