CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants

[Chelly 827]

There is no official market yet for this week’s game between Casey Demons and UWS Giants - at this stage the time venue have yet to be announced and the odds of the game taking place are not very good.

Bad news for the players lining up for promotion to the AFL.

The following teams have a bye

Aspley, Box Hill Hawks, Gold Coast Suns, Port Melbourne, Werribee, Williamstown

A game against Port or Willy would be nice

We do not play Port all year and are scheduled to play Willy in the second last round.

MFC/Casey needs to make it happen.

One game in 6 weeks is not good enough

[Go the Biff 3,440]

Frankston are slated to play the Swans. Perhaps the fixture could be flipped so that we play the Dolphins. Both Giants & Swans have 8 games played. We've just completed 6.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,099]

In the grand scheme of things, it would now seem to have been a very bizarre year to create this wider competition.

How can the MFC/Casey make it happen, they could request it but there is a big chance it would just fall on deaf ears. The revamped VFL is just a complete joke.

The VFL comp is hopelessly compromised from a ladder perspective. Just make it Vic only for the rest of the season and let's move on

I have been saving this for nearly 9 months now. Who ever thought it was a good idea to start an interstate competition in the year of Covid certainly does belong it the rocket scientist club.

Would you please stop with sane ideas DJ. Talk like that will never get you a job at AFL!

Who or what are the UWS Giants? More specifically, does the name mean it's a merger between the University of Western Sydney and the GWS Giants? Or is UWS a sponsor of the Giants' seconds team? If the latter, have we ever had a name like that before (ie, a "insert sponsor's name" Magpies, or equivalent)?

Adelaide used to refer to themselves as The Camry Crows at one stage.

I believe that this game will take place on Saturday night at Casey Fields.

I hope you are correct Jack, because this these fixtures are not only compromising Casey, but also the Melbourne Demons.

Would surprise me if all the Giants VFL players were here in the bubble. They have jobs outside football.

Perhaps they will be allowed top up players

One of the Casey boys, George Grey played as a top up player for the GWS reserves side last weekend. 

[COOLX 209]

Who is on top of the ladder via vfl flashscore Bulldogs 1st followed by Southport, Casey then Box Hill . SCOREPRO 1st Bulldogs followed BH Hawks, Southport then Casey . 2021 Vfl mens Casey 1st Casey fpllowed by Bulldogs, Southport then Willamstown.

At end end of the year being 2-3 games down is that going to cost us top spot? (assuming we are undefeated). Perhaps at the end of the season the VFL staff are waiting for another covid lockdown. The reserves comp. is a joke. Casey didn't need a bye last week , they could have played another team with a bye. Perhaps that doesn't make sense to the Vfl. Senior teams need to  give there listed players a run and the players need run to prove they are worthy of senior selection sometime soon.

The lights are fine. Night games have been played at Casey Fields for at least ten years.

I hope some Demonlanders can make it down to report on the game (I’m working).

This team may well have beaten our senior team in the Neeld years. (I'm not sure whether that says more about this team or the past). 

[Demonstone 22,794]

I wonder how serious Mitch Brown's injury from last week is.

He’s not on the official injured list so it can’t be too serious … could it? 

[hardtack 10,612]

Is this game being broadcast?
