Casey Demons v Collingwood VFL

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Posted

We are into Round 8 of the 2017 VFL and finally, a Casey Demons game is going live and free to air on Saturday. Despite Casey's moderate form in the season to date and the fact that some of its fixtures were slotted in the evenings, it's a bit of a mystery why it has taken until almost mid-season for last year's grand finalist and minor premier to make it onto our screens - especially as the club has a new identity this year. And would the VFL Demons television debut been delayed even longer had they not been fixtured to play Collingwood this weekend?

    That makes 19 MFC listed players but 4 go back into the team for QB Monday and at least one (but most likely two) as the carry over emergency for that game as well. 

    I hope today's game proves to be better than the equivalent last year when the Scorpions ? were close to the top of the ladder and had a team full of experienced players who were supposed to be very good at this level and ended up copping a flogging.

    Here's a preview of today's game from the VFL site 

    CASEY DEMONS vs COLLINGWOOD – 2:10PM Saturday 10 June @ Casey Fields (Channel 7 / Casey Radio)

    LAST TIME THEY MET – Casey 2.7 (19) def. by Collingwood 8.11 (59) – 2016 Round 10 @ Casey Fields

    The runners-up from 2016 are having an up and down season so far in 2017. They’ve been able to beat contenders such as Port Melbourne, and lose to similarly placed teams like Geelong. Their 3-4 record could be the result of a tough draw – they’ve already played three of the top four teams, but inconsistency has been an issue.

    The Demons are coming off two victories in a row, and will look to get on a mid-season roll by beating Collingwood at home. The Magpies are also in good spirits, breaking a run of five consecutive losses after a 14-point win at home against Sandringham.

    A Casey win will see the Demons break away from the bottom pack of the ladder, while a Collingwood win will make things very tight in the position 9-12 range of the ladder – four teams will be equal on three wins.

    The Development League game against the Box Hill Hawks is due to start in about 20 minutes. The match is a replay of the 2016 DL Grand Final which from a Casey POV was quite forgettable.

    The strange thing about all of this is the fixturing of the AFL Development League competition The Demons have a bye next week and their next game after the break is against ... Box Hill Hawks at the City Oval, Box Hill. 

    That's more than a little bizarre as far as I'm concerned.

    Kingy playing in the development league which means Spencer and Keilty will be switching between Ruck/Forward most of the game, should work pretty well I'd think, especially if they can kick a couple of goals between them

  • Quote

    King in the development league does underscore the list management difficulties with ruckmen. If you need 3-4 on your list as some suggest... where do they play ... the development league is not really the long term answer.

    In the old days teams played two ruckmen so it was not as big an issue.

    Not sure what the answer is

    Looking at Footywire Demons,King is listed as a forward ruckman.If King is going to be a lpyer of the future it is important for him to play for Casey Seniors why did we bother recruitring him

    The Demons are putting on a bit of a show here against the Hawks.  They lead at half time 9.7.61 to 5.2.32.

    To underline the importance of the game, both teams are on 3 wins and 3 losses and the winner could go into third spot on the ladder.

    Just saw Wagner walk into the change rooms, interesting to see he got dropped from the Seniors

    Hahahah Casey just got gifted 2 goals, first from a good play out the back but as he kicked it was driven into the ground so the Umpire called the goal then gave him another free 10m out directly in front

  • Quote

    Also I must say it as an absolutely beautiful day for footy, Sun is out in full force but it's not hot and barely a breath of wind. Should be a good contest vs Collingwood

    Conditions absolutely perfect at Casey Fields for the big clash between traditional rivals. 

    The Demons are more than 10 goals up in the early game v Hawks and looking a picture in these uniforms. I believe the development league hasn't been setting the world on fire but it seems different today with ruck dominance and plenty of skill and run all around the ground. King looks strong in the ruck and just kicked a nice goal.

    There have been some suggestions that the development league is going to fold and that in the future. Players who don't make it to the main team will end up playing in local leagues. I can't see much benefit in us playing our young draftees in such competitions. And if you have 4 or 5 ruckmen on your list, some are going to miss out and end up playing in a suburban team.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
