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

Posted

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

Posted

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.

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

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

Just arrived and the Demons now 6 goals up after an early Box Hill fight back.

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.

The good news for the Demons was the form of Mitch King in the ruck after missing last week through illness.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
