Jordon is back in as well.

I think the bench will be M.Lewis, Stockdale, Wale-Buxton and McCaffery

Kielty at CHB ?  I thought they wanted him forward...

He is playing forward, the VFL team lists are never correct

MFC 22

Casey 13 MFC listed players 

injuries 10

rested 1 Bradtke

Bradtke is playing for the Dandenong Stingrays this weekend. 

 

Lovely ground Box Hill ... easily accessed and good viewing areas.

Hopefully a solid win against the Bombers tonight gets everyone into the mood to come along and enjoy a great day in the sunshine. (predicted top of 24... sounds perfect).

Big year for Petty and Baker just to mention a few.

Interesting to see that the MFC listed players appear with their MFC list jumper numbers - I think if that actually happens on the field it's a good change.

I read somewhere that's a change they've made competition wide, so all AFL listed players keep the same numbers in both comps.

I wonder if we'll really restrict the playing minutes of some players. The Sydney game is on the Thursday night, so it'll be a very short turn around for anyone who might come up to the 1sts.

They'll have a good idea of the possible candidates after tonight's match outcome so can plan from there.

Having watched him closely during the practice match against Box Hill 

I think this is a wise move 

I honestly worried for his safety that day 

He has a very immature body and moves like a really young boy

It also allows him to play significant game time in the ruck at that level.  Would suggest he will play mainly for the Stingrays whilst Preuss is at Casey and back up Wale - Buxton if and when Preuss plays in the seniors.


I think I'll spew if Stretch plays inside mid at Casey tomorrow. He may not be the answer but at least he finds space and offers outside run when we desperately need it in the ones.

Look for the players who play only a half or 3 quarters max for our replacements next week.

We play Swans on Thursday night.....  whoever the selectors are looking at to come in likely wont play after halftime tomorrow.

We will have a very good idea of the probable changes after tomorrows game.

Yes I wrote that when I thought we were playing today not tomorrow

the biggest issue is that the likes of preuss and garlett need game time to press their claims

having a short break means that you need them to play minimum a half of footy...and is that enough?

i'm also not sure what benefit there is in having preuss play predominantly ruck in the vfl when, if picked for the afl, he'll primarily play forward and relief ruck

it's why you'd have to assume kielty or perhaps even tim smith would be ahead of him in the pecking order currently

Good morning all.

After what the Seniors have been dishing up lately we could all do with a Casey win today. There’s a few boys out injured and possibly some to be held over for Thursday so today will be a tough game.

Dont forget the game will be broadcast on Channel 7 from 11:30am.

Champion Data will also be updating live VFL stats of every game this year so check out the VFL app on your phone for real time updates.

Glad I checked this thread.   A lot to look out for in todays game.   Go Casey.

 

As has been mentioned, you would expect that with our next game on Thursday anyone in the Casey line up who is considered a chance to come into the side this week would have to sit out the second half or something like that.

That aside, very interested to see how Garlett, Stretch and Preuss perform, as well as T Smith and Keilty (in case TMac is injured).

I'm most looking forward to seeing our two new draftee small forwards, Bedford and Chandler.

  • REPORT: 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.
