[KC from Casey 7,061]

The Casey Demons practice match against Frankston has been moved to Casey Fields on Good Friday 30 March, 2018 at noon.

The club has reappointed defender Jack Hutchins as captain of the Casey Demons heading a leadership group of James Munro, Mitch Gent, Angus Scott, Mitch White and Corey Wagner.

Once again the VFL scheduling leaves a lot to be desired.

With 4 emergencies being required in Brisbane, senior players will wait yet another week for some match practice. It could have been played on Sunday or even Monday.

Would love to hear how the VFL schedule is integrated into the senior schedule if at all.

I think the last three words cover it DJ. The fact there was no Casey game last week shows how poorly the reserves competition is organised.

The next VFL game occurs after we have played round 3 which means the emergencies will get a run but the flip side is that in a period when the seniors have played 3 games the emergencies (which are those on the cusp of selection) have not had one game in which to display and hone their skills.

The only bit of selection news I have is Keilty's rib pain has become manageable and he'll be playing in the game tomorrow

Surely Brayshaw will get a run

At least we have the squad from the Casey website:

Is there any coverage?? Radio etc?

[DubDee 25,671]

If spargo, Hannan, Frost, Angus, Weed, balic perform well there will be some nervous blokes tomorrow night!

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Nice to have some depth @DubDee

It's a long season and have some players looking over their backs

[martin 727]

Very pleasing to see  Joel Smith's name there. Hoping he's not far away.

Anyone heading down?

Would be nice to get some updates.

Out of curiosity has there been discussions in the past about altering the VFL season to be in line with the AFL?

How ridiculous that we are into Round 2 and the VFL is still in practice matches. Surely this is a simple fix??

Agreed!  A very good reason to implement a National AFL Reserves comp!

Casey 53 v Frankston 14. Quarter time.

best: Brayshaw, Hannan, Balic, JKH, Kent. Actually we look great with not a weak player. Baker and Spargo look good. 

 

More at at half time.

I met you Cuz at the quarter time break in the last pre-season practice match. What a nice bloke. I'll follow his career with interest from here. Hope he goes well.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,663]

Frankston look like they will struggle this year.... good to see them back though

Sounds like this game is a flogging. Not the greatest yardstick for next week
