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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
