Casey Demons v Coburg - VFL Round 12

[KC from Casey 7,063]

I’m going in early to save the site some controversy.

The Casey Demons take on Coburg for the second time this year. Earlier in the season, the Lions were thrashed and the Casey Radio truck got bogged, leaving their loyal listeners bereft of their scintillating commentary.

Be interesting to see if the travelling emergencies make it back for this game.

Weather prediction is 14 degrees, light winds and 2mm of rain... classic football weather.

Go Dees

It might sound strange but the traveling emergencies are not required once the game starts so they can fly back on Friday night and be rested for the game the next day.

[WERRIDEE 5,468]

I feel sorry for Coburg who are a very ordinary team playing 2nd place Casey who are a very strong team on paper.

This will be a slaughter I'm predicting the Dees to win by 150 points.

My Preferred Team

B: Frost, Hutchins, Johnstone

HB: J.Wagner, Keilty, Lockhart

C : Hannan, Stretch, Baker

HF: Balic, T.Smith, Bugg

F: Spargo, Pedersen, Weideman

FOLL: King, C.Wagner, Kennedy Harris

IC: Filipovic, Scott, Munro, Lok, Quigley

The 23rd man will probably change and Corey Wagner won player of the week for the second week in a row.

[Whispering_Jack 29,968]

Coburg lost one of their best players Liam Hunt who walked out on the club a few weeks ago.

If the 23rd man changes then Quigley doesn’t play.

yep but with the game starting at 7:20pm local time it's either a late night or early morning flight.

The last flight on qantas appears to be 8pm so that's a hard ask.

As a very frequent traveller to the city of churches it's not blessed by the airlines like the east coast cities

It seems a tight time frame. If Garlett and Stretch don’t get selected for Friday night surely the club leaves them behind to play at Casey. If those two are the held over emergencies it would make it nearly a month without a game for both.

The club needs to get a bit smarter at this. Obviously you want your best players available for the senior side if possible, but it is pretty dumb to have players 23-25 on your list not playing games for multiple weeks.

Having Tyson miss a week after being dropped surely set him back a fair way, and since then we have had Garlett, Pedersen and Hunt miss games whilst on the cusp of senior selection.

Given how rarely you need to call on your 23rd player, I'd rather hold over a player further down the depth chart (Bugg, Wagner, Stretch, etc) and keep the better players playing regularly.

What happens with games like this is that say Stretch and Garlett do the warm up with the boys in Adelaide and as soon as the game starts they are off to the airport and usually land before the game ends so they are ready to play on the Saturday. The issues lie when the game is on at the same time / the day after Casey. 

Agree that we do need to get more game time into some of these boys who havent played for a while. 

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Some recognition at last from Channel 7.

The following Casey Demons games will be telecast live:-

• Round 13 (June 30): Essendon vs Casey Demons (RAMS Arena)

That's until we get an injury in the warm up and have to bring in someone not up to the job and we bemoan the fact someone of decent quality wasn't on standby.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Hannan stays in the seniors, Tim.Smith in the seniors as well, Petty and Garlett stay at Casey.

Stockdale is 23rd man

Filipovic isn't playing maybe Gent comes in for him. 

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Casey at home with a very strong lineup, 100+ point victory guaranteed.

[Supermercado 2,797]

Fired up to get over-excited about player performances against a glorified suburban team.

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Keilty out tomorrow with Illness

[What 18,810]

All eyes on Casey today. Plenty of spots open in the seniors after the last two  losses.  

Hoping for huge games from Garlett, Petty , Weideman and Spargo.   Would gladly have all 4 in vs the Saints if they dominate today.

[Emerald 1,744]

I'm looking forward to this one to help me forget about last night and see who steps up to get a spot in the seniors.

Go Casey!

[dl4e 5,851]

Go down and take a look. Be interested to see how the weed plays as well as Garlett, Spargo and Wagner.

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Sam Weideman marks and goals for the Demons who lead 1.0.6 to 0.2.2.

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Coburg replies with a goal and they lead by 2 points at the 11 minute mark. Things are not going all Casey’s way.

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Having said that JKH goals after a nice pass from Jeff Garlett.
