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


10 minutes ago, KC from Casey said:

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.

Mitch King has an elbow injury and will miss at least 4 weeks.

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
