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.

Wow Kent looks really strong through the hips, even moreso than last year

Not going to be able to make it this week.

Expecting Watts to go back at times if Spencer plays.

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. 

Oops - yes Oscar shouldn't be there.

Slightly off topic but I was wondering how the St Kilda/ Sandringham alignment is progressing.

Given the difficulties the Dees had with Sandringham interested to know if the Saints have done any better.

I think we knew that!

Does anyone know if Gach Nyon is playing for Casey? and has Casey finalised their sides?

Harmes and Tyson made the final cut for the Sunday game so expect Kent to line up for Casey.

Three quarter time in the Development League and the Box Hill Hawks 11.5.71 lead the Casey Demons 6.7.43.

He's playing in the ruck in the Development League team at the moment as is Jake Lovett. The Hawks are well in control and currently hold a 41 point lead.

Conditions are very good for football with only a light breeze and a few drops of misty rain falling.

The Demons have gone with the Casey Scorpions heritage jumpers (probably because the new Demons gear is still unavailable). Most of the team officials are also still wearing Scorpions' tops.

I heard a little while ago that the Saints were looking at becoming a stand alone reserves team but that might have changed.

Since you're interested, I can also confirm definitively that O Mac is not playing for Casey this afternoon. ?

I'll be the first today.

Thanks KC for being our Casey 'correspondent'.  It is so comforting having reliable and 'accurately biased'  eyes watching our boys at Casey.  I was very pleased when I saw your first post today knowing you were there.  

The Development League game is over with the Box Hill Hawks 15.7.97 winning by seven goals over the Casey Demons 8.7.55.

The game will start at least 10 minutes late for some unknown reason.

The teams have now entered the arena which looks in great nick.

The siren sounds like an old model T horn and it won't be long now.

I'll be interested to hear your first impressions of Flipper KC

It's been a scrappy start to the game. Frost and Wagner are in defence with Pat McKenna. Dec Keilty, Tim Smith and Dean Kent are up forward. Big Jake lining up in the riuck. Casey gets the first score, a rushed behind after 8 minutes. 

Box Hill draw first blood with a nice goal after Frosty went for a long run around the boundary then kicked out on the full.

A fortuitous goal to Box Hill after a poor kick out from a point has given the Hawks an 8 point lead at quarter time.

Box Hill 2.2.14 lead Casey 0.6.6.

Frost, Wagner and Kent look all good to go if a vacancy in the ones open up. Trenners working his way into the game. Most of the others are just going at the moment although Spence is working hard in the ruck against a bevy of Box Hill talls.

Casey struggling by 27 points to a slick Box Hill outfit. The team has yet to kick a goal - 0.7.7 to 5.4.34.

A free kick to Sandy recruit Zijai sees Casey's first goal on the board after 9 points in a row. They trail by 31 points.

At half time the Hawks are dominating the Dees 9.6.60 to 2.12.22.

A much better term for the Casey boys with the first three goals that brought them to within 20 points. A goal to the Hawks makes it 10.6.66 to 5.10.40.

From the AGE - August 2016

St Kilda and Sandringham will officially join forces next season in a new alignment that will see the Saints extending their move back to Moorabbin with a second bayside headquarters at the Trevor Barker Oval.

Abandoning plans for a stand-alone reserves team, St Kilda's strategic change of heart comes after months of sensitive negotiations that will see the Zebras VFL side wear the Saints colours in up to three home games at Moorabbin from 2018.
