Is our game likely to be televised ? 

The only hope is it is on Kayo.   Channel 7 is full of the olympics

    Just listen to it on Casey radio that's what I'll be doing. Then the big game against the Gold Coast at 3 then the Storm in the blockbuster against Penrith at 7:30. My day is sorted.

     

    POSSIBLE TEAM

    B: LOCKHART, TURNER, J.SMITH

    HB: BOWEY, BRADTKE, D.SMITH

    C: DECLASE, JONES, BAKER

    HF: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, VANDENBERG

    F: BEDFORD, ELLISON, CHANDLER

    FOLL: DAW, JETTA, SPARROW

    IC: LAURIE, ROSMAN, MUNRO, WHITE

    EMERG: FOOT, GREY

    Given the number of times I refer to the Western Bulldogs as Footscray, I'm somewhat amused that the one time it is correct to refer to our opponents as Footscray, the title of this thread goes with Western Bulldogs.

    Here's hoping! Certainly need to make at least a couple of changes this week.

    I think it's likely that a significant number of possible VFL players will need to travel with the squad to play GC and then on to Perth for quarantine ahead of West Coast.  I expect they'll take at least 26 or 28 with coverage in all areas so the team vs Footscray will be depleted.

    Surely Weideman, Hibberd, Jordon and Melksham will all be traveling to Qld and WA and unavailable to Casey.

    I'd be taking AVB and J.Smith too.

    This game will provide a lot more opportunities for the Casey boys as we will need to take additional players up to QLD as mentioned by earlier posters. Will be good to see how they perform, also hopefully inspires others on the list to greater heights heading into the finals.

    Round 16 how many games have Casey actually played?

    8 - same as most other 'vfl' clubs, although others have played 9

    the northern sides all have played more - southport, gc17, bears, swans, aspley all 10 (as well as the peptides), then gw$ 11

    What a basket case of a league. As I have iterated, next year revert back to AFL Reserves competion, none of this Aspley, Southport and others rubbish. How on earth will they decide finalists?

    The coaches and football bosses need to start putting pressure on the AFL about this debacle of a competition - the inability of the clubs to get decent match practice into their fringe players has surely got to be concerning them. 

    As a player I would hate to be coming out of contract having played 8 games in a season spread across five months.

    ^^ picket and poita - agree 100%

    Especially with the ongoing threat of lockdowns that undoubtedly will go  forward into 2022 and beyond, just set up an AFL Reserves competition with all Victorian teams involved.

    The interstate clubs can set up their own local competition.

    As it stands it is a total dogs' dinner, benefiting nobody.

    Hopefully once everyone is vaccinated there won’t be any need for lock downs.!!!!!

    Of course the irony is that the VFL didn't start until Round 3 of the AFL season

    We have all said this before DJ but it must be the worst planned/ run competition in the land.

    Do you actually believe that?

    Fauci is now, having said that widespread vaccination would mean no masks, saying that masks indoors and out may "be needed" indefinitely, for all even primary school kids.

    This pandemic has seen a litany of mixed massages.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
