Tried hard but couldn't find much info other than the game being Thursday 7:10pm at Marvel.

It is free on Kayo.

Any more info such as ticketing would be great.

Ticketing seems to change each week. At Box Hill you could buy a ticket at the gate whereas against Richmond it was the full online ticketing system

    Who comes up with this appalling schedule?

    Bad luck if you're a Casey listed player who works full time, then needs to play a game of football in the middle of the working week.

    Bad luck if Melbourne loses a few players at training on Friday and possible replacements have already played on Thursday.

    What's wrong with having the game on Sunday?

    And why on earth would you play it at Marvel - it must cost a fortune to open the ground for a few hundred people to turn up.

    Probably keep two players out.  One for the medical sub and one emergency.

    It would have to be a Fox Footy mandated timeslot change  wouldnt it, to fill the void left by Thursday night Footy bizarrely being shelved again despite near unanimous favour for it.

    The whole floating fixture at both levels is also a nightmare, it'd be nice to be able to plan ahead when I can try and get to Casey games.

    It's also live on Fox Footy Channel

    Have set Foxtel to record this potentially epic television event but am curious about the team selection. Up until now, it’s been simple - wait for Melbourne to pick its team for the AFL game by which time, the VFL game is 10 minutes into the second quarter. I get that and it seems to work as beautifully as everything else in terms of communication with fans of AFL & VFL these days. But when will we know this week?

    I assume that members get some kind of discount but I can't find any reference to confirm

    I must admit I like the VFL filling the gap of no Thursday night football. I enjoyed being able to watch Footscray v GWS last week, and the production value of the Foxtel broadcast was far far superior to the channel 7 broadcast of Casey Box Hill a couple of weeks back that felt like it was filmed on an iPhone streamed back to the truck on 3G.

    I would play bbb and weids for a half each- excellent training run given the big game is Sunday.  Allows another look and match sim, but keeps one or both fit enough for selection.  Same for the medical sub.

    Can’t wait to watch Casey tomorrow night. Will be keeping a close eye on Bowey and Weed. Chandler and Bedford

    7 news said something along the lines that Melksham ✔️, and Jones ???, would be playing for Casey.

    I’m guessing it’s Melksham to make way for Ben Brown, and Jones will now be managed to get him through the season and hopefully into the big dance. Will be interesting to see who replaces Jones (Sparrow or Chandler?).

    Bedford probably a big chance for that spot too

    Jones and Melksham can both have an important role at Casey.

    They are leaders and would really straighten up the young players.

    Jones can get back and help with the midfield, and Melksham can help the forward structure. They may enjoy it.

    Their experience will set up young players for the big stage and both will be waiting in the wings if MFC are injury hit.

    If form comes back to them, they get a call them up. 

    Be great if they can also play next year in Casey, for the same reason, of giving a bit back. Jonesy, midfield coach and player.

    Casey has a chance of a grandfinal birth, given their good start to the season and our list.

    Casey would have had to "start" around Christmas time to give birth in late September.

    I can't believe there is no news on Casey's line up for tonight's game, keeping their cards close to their chest or is this standard procedure?

    I reckon they will leave Jones home any interstate trip.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
