The key to Sunday's VFL game will be the number of MFC listed players the Casey Demons can put on the park. The club's injury list is slowly becoming more manageable although several of its players are still a way off. With both the AFL and VFL senior Demons playing in roughly the same time frame, some carry over players will need to be held back for the MCG game but hopefully, there will be more depth in the Casey team this week.

This should get some Bomber fans to the game - 

Todd Vander Haar to make VFL debut for Casey Demons

 

Angus Brayshaw is not playing this weekend.

Heard Mahoney speak a couple of weeks ago and the number 1 thing they look for in a draftee is "competitive", are they competitive? How do they react when 5 goals down kicking into the breeze rather than 5 goals up and with it.

Long shot but wouldn't it be great if he did ever don the mighty red and blue! 

PS James Hirds academy... pppffftttt.

Gee the Casey team looks hot!

Depth at last despite our huge injury list

 

Foxfooty saying Brayshaw playing this weekend but not in the named side.....

Once you take away the four players who will go out to make up the MFC interchange bench and at least one other held over as emergency for that game, the depth isn't as evident.

Well that makes zero sense.

Doubt hes playing,

The fact that Liam Hulett has been picked on both the interchange bench for the Casey Seniors as well as in the line up for the Development League team suggests that the club might be sending him a little message that he needs to improve his act if he wants to remain on the list. 

I think he will keep his place this week but if his form doesn't lift it could well make it hard for him to retain his spot if there's an improvement in our injury stocks.

He is coming back from an injury.  Maybe they're just being cautious?

Would think he likes playing with us, and not them, for a good reason

SOTFD

Would be interesting to know what real attempts are made to co-ordinate the AFL/VFL schedules.

Not sure what the clubs prefer and putting aside interstate games and short breaks it would be good from a supporter viewpoint if there was no clash between the competitions at club level.

Harder I know but it would be good for the schedules to be synched occasionally from an opponent aspect. Would be great to head out today for example to Box Hill Oval to see the Demons play the Hawks.

Not whinging but the VFL has to work harder at its competition.

What about a free youtube channel with all the non televised games. Sure there is a cost but you are not talking sheep stations especially if you used two or three automated camera positions for each match.

Concussion victim Angus Brayshaw will also return for Casey’s clash against Werribee after missing a week from another head knock.

wonderful news ... hope he plays a blinder !!

Yes I think Trengove may get a run in the next few weeks. He deserves the chance to show he has the ability at AFL level again.

Who will he replace?

He would need Tyson to have a horror game or get injured to get his chance youd think.

Concussion victim? Lock your doors everyone. 

Massive game for King taking on Preuss. Daw as relief doesn't make it any easier. Keilty might shadow daw on the chop out, but preuss looks impressive when played in the ones earlier this year. Good luck Mitch. Hope your up to the task. 

Any news as to whether Brayshaw is playing would be appreciated together with a good analysis of our ruck strength.

Will be very interesting to see how the "no specialist ruckman" goes against a recognised ruckman at the MCG today.

I created an account for today's game. I'm in the area and it's free! Guaranteed to be for the first half. I can't see Brayshaw but that doesn't mean he's not playing. It may just be my eyes. 

On Casey radio for anyone wanting to listen

Casey tweeted the team sheet and no Brayshaw or ANB today
