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.

      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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
