The Casey Demons are at home against top-of-the-ladder Williamstown this Saturday in the Channel 7 game of the round and need the win to keep alive their hopes of a top four finish.

The teams met at Burbank Oval in the opening round of the season when the home side won by 23 points. Casey had Angus Brayshaw, Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald and Cam Pedersen among its Melbourne contingent of a dozen. The team makeup will be different this time and the team has matured.

Look out for the return of Tomas Bugg from suspension.

It's also the PINK RIBBON MATCH - please give the cause your support

    Hope Wattsy stars.  Shame Salem misses as Williamstown are very very good bunch of VFL players. Joel Tippett still is AFL quality and Siposs is classy.  Close one.

    Jake Spencer is really going to be missed because when they played Williamstown earlier in the year their ruckman Meese destroyed the Casey team almost singlehanded.

    Meese is in great form at the moment too, had 94 hit-outs against Footscray a couple of weeks ago. Gonna be a big test for King and Watts. 
    No Salem, but I'm expecting Bugg to come out swinging (hopefully not literally)

    With Keilty, Frost and Hutchins down back it's gonna be hard for Williamstown to score, but the Gulls are one of only 2 teams to have beaten Casey at Casey Fields in the last 2 years. I'm cautiously optimistic we can win, but it's not gonna be easy.

    Very Keen to see how Bugg responds to having 6 weeks to reflect on a poor and costly decision.

    Watts is a player I have always loved, I hope he can turn it around this week as he WILL be an important part of the team come finals, when he is on, he is just fantastic to watch.

    Hoping Frost destroys the back line (in a positive manner) as he also will be important next week and come finals.

    Looking forward to watching the game Saturday, 3rd v 4th

    Isn't it great! We finally have a meritocracy at the MFC where players have to earn their spots, and work hard to keep them.

    Bodes well for the future.

    What?! 94 in one game?! How many stoppages/ goals in that game.

    Just pulling up the stats now.

    FYI for anyone that is interested, you can download the 'Footy Live' app for IOS which eventually has all the stats from all the high-level games nation wide. AFL, VFL, SANFL, WAFL, NEAFL etc. Its pretty great.

    So it was round 15 (3 weeks ago) Williamstown home game, they beat the Dogs 102 - 23. Willy kicked 16.6 where as Footscray kicked 2.11

    It doesn't tell me any stoppage stats but the Dogs actually won the inside 50 count 57-45. The disposals, kicks, handballs, marks, and tackles are all about even but Willy had double the Rebound 50's, and obviously for whatever reason the Dogs just wasted all opportunities going forward, probably had some crazy wind down at Burbank Oval that day.

    It's hard to know going from this limited information to really tell, but to me it looks to me that even with the ruck dominance (103-37 hit-outs for the day) Footscray's midfield still won the majority looking at the Inside 50's and Rebound 50's count. Its hard to get a good understanding of this game because those are some crazy stats, and without actually seeing it I couldn't tell you exactly but that's what I can extract from the information.

    Hopefully being a Casey Home game, even if it is windy we seem to use it well at home so the ruck dominance shouldn't matter too much.


    When Casey played Williamstown in Round 1 they lost the hit-outs 83-18, and lost the game by 4 goals. That was at Burbank Oval however, and although you could argue the Casey line up was stronger that day, given Pedo, Hibbo, O.Mac and Bull were playing that day, with Frost and Bugg into the side, along with Casey's current form and home ground advantage, this is absolutely Casey's game to lose.

     

     

    Sorry for the long winded response, but I do love my footy stats :goody:

    Meese's stats on the day were 8 kicks, 9 handballs, 17 disposals, 1 mark, 10 tackles, 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s, 4 frees for and 2 frees against ... and yes, 94 hit outs for 183 dream team points.  The Footscray ruckman had 29 hit outs and the Bulldogs are in fourth spot on the ladder.

    They won't be lining up like that doc.

    Brayshaw, Hannan, Stretch and Wagner are all playing for Melbourne tomorrow and one other will come out as an emergency for that game.

    Why isn't this bloke on a rookie list at minimum?  Is he too old?

    If he's less than 30, I'd have no hesitation giving him a rookie list spot for 12 months, just as insurance.

    This is based on absolutely nothing other than what is written in this thread, but my word, a ruck at VFL to can dominate like that won't be out of place as a back up of a back up ruck in the big league.

    I've asked myself the same question, the dude is an absolute beast and destroys anyone he rucks against. He just out-bodies everyone who tries to take him on.

    Im not sure the reason he's never been on an AFL list, maybe he's been offered in the past but turned it down because he has a great career already? I don't know, Rookies don't make a lot of money. Also from what I've seen, his endurance is pretty terrible and requires a swap out quite frequently, which doesn't sit well with a lot of AFL coaches. Maybe he likes to drink and smoke a lot, who knows.

    He's probably a bit past it now. The bio on the Williamstown FC site says he's 197cm tall, weighs 105kg and turns 29 next month. I regard him as the type who could dominate at VFL level but not quite make it in the big league - a bit like North Ballarat's Orren Stephenson who got a late AFL call up but was unable to make the transition successfully although at times, was used as a back up ruckman with moderate results.

     don't get seduced by the hit out numbers, I would think that not many of those hitouts would have been to advantage, most would of been straight down to ruckmans feet, where there would of been stoppage after stoppage to get that many hitouts

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
