    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.

    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??

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
