Imagine Hunt and Hibberd back to fill our backline late in the year, exciting stuff.

Huge game this one. Not for the season or anything but coming into the back end of the year there’s a few boys that’ll need to play some great footy if they don’t want to find themselves traded or delisted at the end of the season.

Hopefully Keilty did what he did against the Blues this time last year and has 10+ intercept marks.

100 point slaughter for the Dees. They should have no problems with this game and should have a strong side to with Hunt, Johnstone, King and Hannan back so there should be about 16 listed players playing. NOT DOING A BEST 22 BECAUSE NO ONE APPRICIATES IT?

Casey Demons VFL training

Jade Rawlings getting Casey ready at Gosch's Paddock.

Professional drilling by Sam Wiedeman, Jayden Hunt, Dean Kent, Tim Smith, Dion Johnstone, Josh Wagner, Harley Balic, Tom Bugg, Pat Mckenna, Harry Petty, Oskar Baker.

Declan Keilty, Mitch King,  Lachlan Filopovic doing plenty of kicking and moving.

Sam looking switched on. Josh strong and kicking well. Hunty clean ball use, restrained run going only 80% acceleration.

Pat kicking beautiful snaps and is excited about the contest on Saturday.

Hunt was in a small Group training at Gosch's around 10.00am. As I was driving past at the time so I couldnt tell how long they had been out there but there didnt seem any holding back. He was with a group that included Keilty so I am presuming it was the Casey group of players. May be back sooner than we think and would be itching to prove himself to make the finals.

Assume Weideman is emergency for Hogan. Though 2 weeks without any footy would not be beneficial.

He’s playing for Casey this weekend. He would’ve played last weekend but they had the bye

Point taken but the Weed needs every game he can get.

Would prefer Smith or Pederson as the emergency if there is a doubt over Hogan.

Weideman is due to be emergency. The last 2 weeks have been Pedo, Vanders and Wagner.

VDB will come in for Melksham I would think!

Is it true that the players had Tuesday off due to the new player CBA? There was footage of Gawn by himself still training, having set shots etc. what a leader 

Good to see Mitch White back after a long period with injury.

23P: 8. W. Stephenson
 

 

Four reasonably straightforward players off that list because they will represent the  MFC against Gold Coast Suns  - J Smith, ANB, Spargo and Petracca with one other as the player held back as emergency.

Balic must have really lost his spirit. He could have played in a premiership at Casey and would have been very very handy. Still you need your heart to be on the game.
