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)?

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

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

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

    That assumes they care about the fans NC.

    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!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
