    Imagine how Nathan Jones and Robert Flower have been all these years of contrary, smart alecs

    Tough game without the Weid and Brown.  Suddenly the firepower is probably Daw as the main target.  
     

    It’s unlikely that Jones will line up. Though given the Swans “bye” last week, he might try to keep match fit and play a half.

    Does MFC membership still entitle free entry?

    For the EFL /SPL watchers, is  a match at Casey Fields equivalent to Stoke City on a Tuesday night?

    agree

    take away the sub plus one emergency and Casey start to look vulnerable.

    PS Jones definitely out with a hamstring for one to two weeks

    I see that like Casey, Geelong are undefeated at VFL level.

    Will be a good test

    Casey missing too many listed Dees players. Real test for the standard Casey players. Expected a 7 mfc 15 casey combo this week. Cats also have advantage of not resting their sub player as they have Friday night game. 
    At Casey, Demons are a chance but it will be tight.

    Looking wet and windy for Saturday

    Not exactly the most welcoming environment for visiting the windswept plains of Casey central.

    Love the use of metaphor in description of Casey Ice works, "Winsdswept plains of Casey central"

    At least the snakes are in hibernation, unlike a few months ago!

    Kayo seems to be doing 3 other games.  I stumbled across this - no idea how kosher it is or where they'd be getting the feed from?

    It can't be that hard for someone to send a camera operator down to Casey and set up a stream. Especially for two AFL affiliate clubs. There should always be a minimum single camera option for every VFL game, and IMO it should be included as an option for paid up Members.

    Yep I bet those wetlands on the outer side attract the Tiger snakes in summer.

    Once saw a large group of racing land yachts near the carpark.

    Life's not dull at Casey

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      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?
