[KC from Casey 7,080]

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

[Mickey 4,701]

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

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.

[spirit of norm smith 16,487]

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?

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).

Thurlow and Zac Guthrie played for Geelong this afternoon.

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