After their horror start to the season, the Casey Demons find themselves on a three game winning streak and on the cusp of climbing into the top eight. This week they are up against another rival for a finals berth so needless to say, they can’t let up. With a few Melbourne listed players likely to return from injury, expect a strong team to take the field on Saturday -

Confirming that a number of players coming back from injury including Jake Lever, Neville Jetta, Kade Chandler and Declan Keilty are to line up with the Casey Demons on Saturday.

I really feel for JKH - the senior inquiry list is horrendous, the forward pressure is zero AND he has been playing his heart out and playing well for Casey.  Is Goodwin blind or deluded?

Funnily it almost makes more sense that way.

The problem for JKH, and Stretch for that matter, is that they fall somewhere between AFL and VFL standard.

We could have Lever, Jetta, Lewis, OMac and J Wagner in the backline for Casey!

who would have thought we had such depth.... the senior team must be flying

 

Cant see stretch ever making it but wish he would,gets the ball ok but to slow thinking what do with it.JKH deserves a go can see him being rookie listed and do what jetta did ,come back and be a star.I think it is all about maturity confidence with him


Think I will head down and get completely flummoxed at the sight of Jetta and Lever in the backline.

Preuss playing or not will be a clear indicator of Max's status.  IMO I can't see why we'd risk Max, this is what we recruited Preuss for.  Or at least play both of them so the load on Max is reduced.  Mysterious business ...

At the very least Preuss has to be a carry-over emergency doesn't he? Surely you wouldn't give a player until the last minute to prove his fitness without some form of last minute security?

JKH gets the opening goal (no surprise either). 

Casey Demons 1.1.7 to Northern Blues 0.0.0.

Only one Wagner playing. Josh, I think - so that means Corey Wagner joins Preuss as a hold over emergency.

And look who’s back!

The usual opening. Casey dominate for the first 10 minutes. Kick 1.2.8 and then the opposition go forward for a goal. This one kicked by Garlett - theirs not ours.


Do we have a ruckman without Preuss?

Liam Wale-Buxton is a competent VFL ruckman. Backed up by Declan Keilty and young rookie Austin Bradtke.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
