Featured Replies

Posted

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.

The team sheet:-

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


At least we have the squad from the Casey website:

Nice to have some depth @DubDee

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


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!

Bust....

Haha thanks @demon77

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.

Don't stress mate 

 

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

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
