The venue for Saturday's clash between the Casey Demons and Richmond VFL is an unusual one - Holm Park in Beaconsfield and a stone's throw from the Demons' home ground at Casey Fields. 

 

The line up for the Demons will be interesting.

Was surprised by the venue so I looked up the fixture and found that Richmond (VFL) play a few games here during the winter months before returning to Punt Road.

Are they doing works or something at Punt Road?  Pity as it such a great venue for a game.

Down the road from us. One of my kids plays cricket for Beaconsfield and the non turf sides play there. It  is a good ground. 

I'm an avid watcher of VFL when its on tv.

I was somewhat surprised to see Pushup at the Box Hill Hawks the other week but then didn't think too much of it then !

But now I'm wondering !

Might get along if the day is sunny. A 1pm start makes that last quarter a little warmer.

Did have a look at the place on Google maps. It makes Dandenong look like an inner suburb but that's Melbourne these days.

Go dees

PS Just looked at the weather...

Cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers, most likely in the late afternoon and evening. Winds north to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h tending west to northwesterly 20 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then tending north to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h at night

Once you take the four or five Demons out of the equation because of MFC duties, the line up starts to look very thin.

Wouldn't mind being in the forward pocket for the DL.  Free rein!  

 

I live just a few mins away, so I might make it down to the ground.

Our VFL side is looking a tad light on for Afl talent.

Yes Tigers have 18 AFL listed and a few quality top ups. Tough assignment.

Lefau as 23rd man ...one to watch

Yes, I expect Casey to get a real # 55 for Richmond VFL today.

Tigers get the first score - a point.

Richmond 1.4.10 to Casey 0.0.0 midway through the first quarter.

 The Dees score - a point and we're 20 minutes in.

Quarter Time Richmond VFL 2.5.17 lead Casey Demons 0.1.1 after a goal to the Tigers on the siren.

It's been a scrappy opening but Richmond looking the goods with their superior manpower in terms of AFL listed players.

Not sounding very salubrious down there, KC

No, Richmond were poor in their finishing off in front of goals, otherwise they would be a lot further in front.

Thanks for the updates as always - even if it isn't great news....

Another two goals to the Tigers and it really is looking glum for Casey.

30 - 1

Casey just doubled its score with another point.

I hope Trengove has a 30 plus game.

Goal at last to Ferreira 1.2.8 to 4.6.30

A flying scissor kick worthy of the premier league.

Tigers respond with two goals and lead 6.6.42 to 1.2.8

I think there's quite a few readers here who would have liked to be watching Jack tomorrow not today. Im still hoping he can crack another chance with us....looking slim now though.

 

 

Another goal to the Tigers who lead by 40 points. 

Today's Casey team is hardly recognisable compared to the one that beat Box Hill a fortnight ago.

Fortunately, they have a bye next week when they can lick there wounds and wait for some MFC listed players to return from injury. 

Hi

who are they holding back as the emergency for tomorrow?

I assume it is JKH

many thanks
