The Casey Demons return to their home ground this Sunday when they play host to the Sydney Swans. 

Start time is the ungodly 11:05am.

Anyone know if it’s on Kayo?

It's on Kayo.

    I just read on the AFL site this game has been postponed with more info to come next week.

    Bad news about the postponement, given we finally have AFL & VFL games in the right order.

    Is an used AFL injury sub allowed to play the next day in a VFL match, or are they deemed to have played already?

    "The Swans’ VFL team will not travel to Melbourne this weekend with their match against the Casey Demons scheduled for Sunday, May 9 to be postponed. The VFL match will be rescheduled and more information will be provided next week."

    just our luck

    will be interesting to see if it is re scheduled

    Perhaps when the Swans play in Melbourne and we can fit it in.

    I suspect they won't try too hard

    I'm sure there's a Sydney Paddy McCartin and Kayo = KO joke in there somewhere....

    Shame about our fringe players missing out on a game this week. Weideman may find the delay even more frustrating if he's not selected for the senior team.

    Wonder if they'll try and put together a modified scratch match of casey and Melbourne listed players + fill ins.

    Well, that sucks!!  As if the VFL comp aint bad enough without this!  Our list players not in the AFL team need to be playing every week!  Not happy, Jan!!

     (Censored) arrangement.  Likely no opportunity for our reserves to press their claims for senior selection.  Weid, Chandler, Bedford, Harmes and others are possible examples. Grrrr!

    Both clubs have byes scheduled for next weekend. Hopefully easy enough to just push this fixture back a round.

    Bummer for the hopefuls, but the Ones will play so uniformly excellently on Sat night that there'll be no place for them next week anyway...

    Yes I thought that. Surely that’s the common sense outcome.

    So, you're saying it definitely won't happen, then?

    I think it's actually the week after (Round 5). Quite fortuitous really. No non-hotel quarantine cases in Sydney today so hopefully restrictions will be short-term.

    We have a postponed match due to the virus may be considered fair. What I really hate is that VFL teams have at least 2 byes in their season which means no game time for Casey players this weekend and no game time for Casey players on the 22nd May. We have an even amount of teams in the comp , so why do we need byes?

    It’s been reported that the Casey Demons  vs Sydney game will probably be played on 22 May (Covid19 allowing), meaning that they’ll be switching the byes around. Point taken about the nonsense VFL Eastern Seaboard 22 team competition that allows for a 16 game regular season.

    Meanwhile, what about the fans who travelled from the other side of Melbourne to see the game that never took place?

    I suppose it’s a testament to the AFL’s lack of interest in its feeder competition that, apart from announcing the postponement of Casey’s game, no further word has come through about its status (presumably now a bye) or whether and where it will be replaced on the fixture (the obvious being on 22 May). I don’t know how the coaching staff feel but 3 VFL games over 8 rounds doesn’t sound ideal.

    Hold your horses they have indicated it will be played later in the season!!

    Its too soon to worry about the replay it will happen.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
