There are no restrictions applying to selection of players as the Demons are represented in both AFL & VFL on the weekend.

 

JKH will be a big in. Kent, Baker & Vince a chance to return from injury as well

That does hurt the AFL program, staying in is an advantage no matter how small.

Every little bit helps at this stage of the season.

time for those players who are hoping for a chance to play finals to show their stuff in the hope they can force themselves into the Melbourne team after we beat Hawthorn. Pederson has been doing that, bugg, garlett, jfk, smith etc all have a remote chance to impress or to cover possible injuries


If we can get kent, Baker and Vince in the side it will be a big plus. Could be a good game. Essenscum are not too bad at vfl level. Have to watch that Stewart and the little blood nut green in the forward line. We do have the cattle to go through to the granny. We have been a fairly consistent contributor at vfl finals and I think it would be good to win one.

I didn't watch much of the Rich v Ess game but apparently the Tigers were playing pretty badly and only just lost. This feels me with a lot of confidence that Casey will get the job done well, especially with possibility of a few ins. To get to their second Grand Final in 2 years says a lot about the system Melbourne now have in place. Can not wait to see how far we can go and hopefully I get to see Keilty playing in another VFL GF

The club must be absolutely buzzing right now with Casey and Melbourne winning finals.

Sometimes I forget that Casey are the Demons now...   always think 'Scorpions' before having to correct myself.

This is one club and its working beautifully.

Richmond weren't at their best that's for sure. Should've dominated in the midfield and on transition but couldn't get anything going.

Essendon did have a number of really good players though particularly the talls.

Aaron Francis - far too good for VFL, will intercept all day if not negated. 
James Stewart - more than handy key forward at this level and surely the match up for Dec
Scotty Draper - very good young ruck
Nick Hind - speed machine
Jordan Ridley - classy half back with an AFL future, needs to be tagged
Michael Hartley - very solid full back at VFL level

Will be interesting to see if Casey gives King another chance in the ruck so Pedersen and Smith can stay forward.

Geelong magoos out in straight sets, this theme is becoming enjoyable. 


Assuming a win on Friday night... (fingers crossed) it will be a marvellous day down at Port Melbourne on Saturday.

Burra Burgers and 19 degrees .. what more can one ask for !!

Dec has played on Stewart before and if memory serves me right, usually does a pretty good job at shutting him down, but both players are in decent form it would seem so a big test for Keilty.

I agree though they definitely have some good players, but so do we, and I'm pretty sure we'll get Bernie back so that adds another big game player. Fully expecting Casey to get the job done well and cannot wait until the VFL GF.

Big prelim coming up. I'm expecting the Dees to get up by 18 points.

Unfortunately McKenna's out just when he was starting to find some form.

JKH and especially Vince are big ins.

IC: Lefau, Munro, Scott, White, T.Freeman

Really happy for Bernie that he hasnt played his last game and will be a part of it all before he retires.

Still a chance to don the Red and Blue again at the best possible time... though we would need a few injuries.

Pat McKenna was injured during the qualifying final v Geelong is out for tomorrow’s game. 

What is the injury?

If wet could be interesting. We beat them earlier in the year in the wet but they are fast and could trouble us. It will be up to the midfield.


We were good against North in atrocious conditions

Saw him train on Tuesday. Started with being tested with short sprint runs by rehab coaches. He joined the main group after that. So the injury is probably a niggle that won't go away.

Let's hope he gets up for the GF (if we win tomorrow) as he has had such a bad run with injuries. 

Good morning all!!!! What a time to be a Demons supporter!!!!

After a fantastic win like last night, that will instill a lot of confidence in the boys. I implore as many as you guys to get down to North Port Oval today to cheer on the boys, because there will be a lot of Bomber fans there. But if you can't make it don't forget to catch the game on Ch7 at 2pm.

God I hope the boys get up today and find themselves into a Grand Final.

CARN THE DEES!!!!

 

See you there Drunk'n

looking forward to a nice hot Burra Burger and the dim sims aren't bad either.

For those who haven't been to the ground it is easily accessed by the light rail and plenty of nearby on street parking if you are coming by car.

Pleasant walk from South Melbourne market if you are looking for some pre game food.

Wish Bernie well, could come in for Tyson if he plays well.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
