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

    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.

    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

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

    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)?

    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.

    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).

    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?

    • 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?
