weakest team for the year. Not many more in the cavalry !!! Again again Casey killed by injuries and likely straight set demise in finals. Most like Tigers, Cats, Hawks will have min 16-17 listed AFL players ready to go in finals

Don’t think we’ll be as bad this final series. Frost and some others I think still qualify for VFL finals, Casey have some very good VFL listed players and hopefully having Melksham and Hibbo back, maybe JSmith and fingers crossed Viney soon puts us in better shape, plus the double chance home finals gives us a huge lift which we didn’t have last year. Boys will be fine brudda.

 

Don’t forget all that this games on Channel 7 today.

Today’s game is being televised on 7 so I’m going to have an easy day and mostly leave it to the Demonlanders who follow the VFL to provide most of the comment. 

Like many of you, I will be watching on the screen and not at the ground. ?


I think Pedos the carryover, can’t see him out there

Casey Demons going in with 13 VFL-listed players against Box Hill Hawks, with Cam Pedersen and Jay Kennedy-Harris hold-overs for Melbourne.

No JKH either? Pedo and JKH in Perth?

The team:

CASEY DEMONS

B: J. Wagner H. Petty J Munro
HB:  D. Johnstone  D. Keilty  J. Hutchins
? M. White J. Lockhart T.  Bugg 
HF: A. Scott P. McKenna J. Garlett
F: W. Stephenson T. Smith C. MacHaya
Foll: M. King  M. Gent C. Wagner
I/C: J. Briggs L. Filipovic T. Freeman G. Lok C. Stockdale 

No JKH or Pedo 

Only 10 MFC type Demons 


11 AFL listed players with JKH and Pedo travelling. 

Really tight game thus far - there isnt a lot of class on show. (He says as Tim Smith has a beautiful lead). Bugg playing inside mid today. 

Missing Weideman badly. We dont have great forward structure today without him. Mitch White playing the deep forward. We've kicked 3 behinds to 1. Nothing exciting to report other than a scrappy contest. 

Petty looking good around our the top of our forward 50 - keeping the ball in our forward 50 (tackles and marks). He looks so composed at this level and hopefully he will get the same confidence at AFL level. 

King alright thus far today. I had him on the chopping block, but we need to keep one of them and he is really putting together a nice little game. 

Tim Smith just looks like a star at this level. I remember why we loved him back a few years ago. 

Corey Wagner should be on a list next year. Great running and great pressure. Tackles like a beast. 

Flip down to Wagner to Mitch White and strait through. 9 - 7. 


To be this close when we are against a fairly substantial wind is a good effort so far

They're saying on the telecast that Casey had whatever advantage there was with the wind?

 

9 - 9 at Quarter Time. 

Heathily out for Box Hill with a hamstring. 

The wind is horrid - a lot of balls already out on the full (not us, Box Hill). 

Bugg - he has had a good quarter but it is Matt Jones-esc. Really solid and plays well, but there is nothing that screams - I'm ready to head back to the AFL. I dont know what we do with him. I guess he'll be on the trade table, but I dont know what happens with him now. 

Wagners - both really good and wouldnt be anti getting Corey on our list - all the things you already know about them. They can kick, run and put on pressure. Good back up. 

Thought that King and Flip had really good quarters, competed really well in the ruck and on the ground as well.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
