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.

From what I can see these are the MFC boys playing-

Keilty, Baker, Filipovic, JKH, T. Smith, King, Petty, Balic, Weideman, Johnstone, Kent

Might have missed 1 or 2

It would be nice to have a team list with numbers as promised.

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Casey with the first 2 goals, the second from a beautiful intercept and 50 metre kick from JKH

[martin 727]

JKH in everything early. Spargo promising.

[Drunkn167 5,093]

I think spargo is 13, looks the goods so far

[martin 727]

Demons dominant. 21-0

[martin 727]

Spargo is 11

Did you get that off the team sheet they provided?

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Spargo with 2 goals 1 already

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Bull just hurled someone into the ground with 1 arm it was glorious 

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Dominant display by Casey in the first quarter

6.4.40 Casey - 2.1.13 Port

[martin 727]

Spargo best. Kent prominent. JKH v good. Balic ok. Weideman playing but unsighted as yet.13 for Casey?? excellent.

Is there any way to listen to the game at all? Interested to see how JKH is going 

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Umpiring pretty bad so far

[Drunkn167 5,093]

3 calls against Dec which weren't there, plus a non call for a throw for one of his tackles
