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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
