PETER JACKSON VFL 2018 - PRACTICE MATCH
CASEY DEMONS  v PORT MELBOURNE
Casey Fields 
Saturday 10th  March, 2018 at 12.00pm

Game Length: 4 x 25 minute 'flat' quarters (no time on)

Casey will play their second Practice match for the 2018 season today, the first with the inclusion of MFC listed players. 

We haven't had any news of team selection but once I'm am at the ground later this morning I will be sure to keep this forum updated on who is playing. If you have any questions throughout the game please don't hesitate to ask.

    Thanks Drunkn.  I am also planning on heading out, but now delighted to hear that some MFC players will participate.  Could be several playing.  Interested in seeing Spargo. Petty, Keilty, Mitch King and Weideman, if he plays.

    I clicked on the Casey Demons website and the front page of the on line site contains a story from 24 October 2017 announcing the appointment of Colin Garland as the Casey Demons VFL Womens senior coach for its inaugural season in 2018.

    I suppose that means they’re not going to put the team selected for today’s game on their site.

    Like many supporters I used to look forward to the AFL pre-season games to watch the lesser known and newly recruited players. Watching Hogan make AFL defenders look silly in his 2013 NAB Cup debut as a 17 year old helped give us some insight into what we had to look forward to. 

    These days we only get to see the top 26 or so players in the practice matches so these VFL matches become far more interesting. The more reports the better. Thanks in advance

    Just arrived. Absolutely beautiful day here in Casey, slight wind across the ground. 

    Nice and warm though, gonna be a pain to play footy in.

    The Port boys are currently finishing their warmup, the Demons still in the change rooms.

    Agreed. Clubs no longer build into the season like in years gone by, they need to be hitting their straps round 1 or else you could end up like Sydney last year.

    Hopefully we can get a look at Spargo, Baker, Petty and co.

    When you have time if you could let us know which of the MFC team are playing that would be great.

    Hope you can find a shady place as it is warming up as you say.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
