Brief wrap-up on the AFL site - 'Around the State Leagues' in the Don't Miss section. Not much else to add/no mention of Frost.

Casey Demons v Williamstown - Saturday, March 25, 11.30am, Casey Fields

Midfielder Dom Tyson accumulated 24 possessions, 16 inside 50s and kicked two goals in the Demons' 36-point win.

Casey coach Justin Plapp told AFL.com.au that Tyson "performed really strongly" in his third game back from a knee injury.

"He's had a delayed start because of injury … so he's going through the process of building time and we were really happy with his performance," Plapp said.

Ruckman Jake Spencer (28 hit-outs, 10 disposals) and Dean Kent (20 disposals) were other notable standouts in the VFL practice match win.

So, anyone who was there, do Tyson and Kent look the likely replacements this week v Carltank?

Thought I read somewhere that Tyson had a big final quarter?

What is the practice game this week.

With the first Casey game being 17 April that means we have finished round 4 at AFL level before we see the Casey based players in a full on game.

Strange system to say the least but I suppose it revolves around resources etc

Saturday at Casey Fields vs Box Hill
I won't be able to attend this one either as I'm playing my Round 1 game for my local league Saturday, hopefully someone can go and give a report this time.

Thanks - any idea of time? I might be able to head along.

This gives some clues mono:  Trio in the mix for call-up

Tyson and Harmes likely to get a call up imo.

Foxfooty calling for Wagner to come into the side, but I dont think he played?

No, he didn't.  And for anyone coming back from a two week or longer layoff, other than the half dozen or so most senior players, I think a return via Casey will be the norm this season, unless the injury count grows.  So Harmes, Tyson and Kent are in the mix, but not Frost and not Wagner.  And since it's a squad for a Sunday match, Spencer and Bugg will come in to the squad as well.  My tip is it's Tyson plus one of Harmes or Bugg that will get the nod

Edited March 29, 20178 yr by Copuchas

For mine Bugg, Tyson and Kent are the first in line from last week's game.  Bugg didn't play as the holdover emergency but was pretty good in the JLT and was unlucky to miss out. Spencer did enough and could also come in if we decide to switch up to 2 rucks.

It's really hard to judge the AFL players against VFL players in practice matches as they are very different stages of preseason. I noticed that the AFL listed pushing for selection played almost 90%+ gametime trying show fitness for the AFL.

The game was played at a lower intensity due to the heat and heavy rotations. No one dominated but Tyson and Kent proved their fitness by domimating the last.  Kent made a few errors but was very physical in putting pressure and made a couple of big tackles.

Ben Kennedy played the full game and was OK, Trengrove looked good and is suddenly a good kick on his left.

Also the next pure key forward in for me is Tim Smith - the Bull looks leaner and fitter and would be he happy for him to come into the afl side at some stage during the year. 

Melon22. Did Pedo play?  

Trio in the mix for callup

"MIDFIELDER Dom Tyson, forward Dean Kent and utility James Harmes are pushing their claims for AFL selection after strong form for Casey last weekend.

Casey Demons coach Justin Plapp said the trio performed strongly in a VFL practice match against Williamstown at Casey Fields last Saturday, and were making their case for a round two call-up against Carlton at the MCG on Sunday."

Yep, but didn't get out of first gear.  

Trengove?

Thanks to VitalDread from bigfooty who also works for the Casey Demons - 

 

And from the same source, vision from the Development League game -

 

Gee Kent looked impressive.

Based on that footage, Kent would be a lock with Spencer not far behind.

Tyson didn't seem to feature all that much in selected highlights?

Ben Ken's change of direction is impressive.

Even Pederson and Harmes looked good, Its great to have depth.

I'm sure this is a mistake not a dig at him? What's the issue with White I wonder? He could have put himself in a position to get a few early games and isn't listed in the injury report, maybe I've missed something.
