Injury report said King is out for weeks, medial ligament in his elbow.

Good question - I don’t know but the two young ruck men would surely have to be injured and not rested.

King is out for a month no mention of Filipovic.

Only 12 Melbourne listed players again, that's a pretty weak side.

We usually don't play that well with so few Melbourne players.

The midfield is a worry.

I predict that the Dees will win by 5 points.

Geelong have 12 listed players as well so it's gonna be a tight game.

Yes only 12 listed in Casey team. Lots of outs and mysterious again 

What is mysterious about it?  Both Maynard and King are injured, which the club have reported on.  Filipovic is possibly dropped while the other two aren't on our list.

I don't know what is mysterious about that.

So who is missing 

44-22-1 (wagner) - 7 injuries = 14

Viney Petracca Kent vberg mckenna king Maynard are all injured 

Wagner as emergency 

14 should be available. Filipivic dropped and ... why only 12?? 

Balic must also be unavailable or injured. Not on injured list. Not rested or an emergency.

He is the weekly Casey mystery. Any clues??

so with Flip and King out who is the ruck?

Could this be a new game plan?

A funeral in W.A. has been mentioned.

Pedo and a Casey boy to do Ruck/FWD rotations

Will Keilty do some ruck work as I don't think he has a spot down back?

I don't think Filipovic would be dropped, he must be injured.

I read somewhere Balic had hamstring tightness.

Casey Demons v Geelong VFL previewed on the VFL website:

CASEY DEMONS vs GEELONG – Saturday 7pm @ Casey Fields

[LIVE on Casey Radio]

LAST ENCOUNTER

2017 Rd 3 @ GMHBA Stadium: Geelong 14.8 (92) d Casey Demons 8.8 (56)

FORM COMING IN

Geelong has scored wins against Werribee and then Footscray in Round 3, with only a two-point defeat to Sandringham in between. Casey defeated Coburg and Werribee before running headlong into Richmond in a 35-point loss last week.

KEY QUESTIONS

Do the Demons have the depth to match Geelong? Casey fielded a host of inexperienced VFL players last week partly due to form and injury issues among Melbourne’s AFL team. The likes of Jaxon Briggs, Will Collis, Mitch Lewis, Jay Lockhart and Ryan Morrison may need to step up once again.

Do the Cats have the defensive options to stop Casey’s attack? Geelong’s team defence is renowned at AFL level for shutting down high-powered opposition forward lines and the VFL defenders will need to work to together to stop dangerous Demons like Cam Pedersen (five goals last week), Angus Scott and Mitch Hannan (one each).


 

Would love to see Joel Smith make a statement tonight.  He was looking so good before his shoulder injury last year.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
