CASEY: Practice Match vs Carlton VFL

[karthik 8]

The VFL Practice Matches are underway, and Casey Demons are taking on Carlton VFL tomorrow. 

Mar 3: Carlton v Casey Demons (Ikon Park, Carlton, 12.50pm)

This would be a good opportunity to see our fringe, young, up-and-coming players and check out who is close to breaking in. In particular, I am keen to see how Bailey Laurie has progressed. 

Would anyone know if these games are being streamed anywhere (Kayo/ app/ YouTube)?

Just checked Kayo - not on there.

I'm going to try if it's open to spectators. I'm not real good with reports though!

Strange timing from an MFC viewpoint.

Friday or Saturday would have made a lot more sense for those on the AFL extended bench/fringe

[Neil Crompton 5,519]

Would luv to have seen a line up for this match!?!

surely at 2 hours before game time a team sheet can be reported!

It must be difficult being a Casey listed player these days. You have to have a full time job because football doesn't pay the bills, but then you have to front up for a VFL practice match at midday on a Thursday or travel interstate on a Friday for a poorly fixtured match during the season.

[dazzledavey36 54,387]

Game had started.

Anyone ended up going?

[Redbeard 497]

I'm here. 10 mins to go in the 1st and we're up 19-7.

I'm struggling to recognise players, lots of high numbers

[Redbeard 497]

I'm in the shade which is currently the Carlton goals. Maj just jumped so high at the centre bounce it looked like the other guy was on his knees.

We just kicked another but can't see who it was, I need binoculars!

[Demon Jack 6,870]

Is Dunstan playing?

I am surprised you need to make that comment DJ. We all know what a [censored] up the feeder competition is. Our mistake is trying to apply logic to it.

Spot on, it makes you wonder if that it is not the plan. I have this vision of them putting all the ideas in a hat and then drawing out the winning idea no matter what it says.

Quarter time Casey up 5.2.32 to Carlton 1.1.7

The majority of the play since I got here halfway through the 1st has been up the other end in our forward half, only saw it get deep into Carlton's forward line once for that goal.

Cant find any info on guernsey numbers online, the Casey site says to check closer to the VFL season so I'm flying blind here unfortunately. Does Mitch Brown's hair go curly when it grows out? I think I saw him run the length of the field. Also looked like Weid's kicking style slotting a nice one up the other end.

Can't tell if Dunstan is playing Demon Jack as I wouldn't have the faintest what he looks like and with no numbers I'm up the creek without a paddle

That assumes they care about the fans NC.

Lots of construction happening at Princes Park (hoping the photo attached)

Thanks for your effort under trying conditions RB.

Might be our new training establishment!

Wasn't Weid named in the actual field in tonight's game?

Yep he was…odd 

[Neil Crompton 5,519]

I thought Sam was picked to play tonight?

[adonski 11,910]

Howes and Van Roo already amongst it good to see

[Redbeard 497]

Do our listed players wear their Melbourne numbers when playing for Casey? 

The players I thought were Mitch Brown and Weid are wearing 38 and 26 so things might have suddenly got easier!!

[dazzledavey36 54,387]

I hope Van Rooyen kicks a bag..

No pressure.
