    Could be quite a composed player under pressure?

    Based on the market above, you would think that playing Coburg at home is going to be a shoe in with 16 AFL listed players available.

    Toby Bedford is on track to achieve some sort of record this season. He’s been the sub for all 5 Melbourne games (activated once only in Round 1). This has enabled him to double up for each of Casey’s games this season so by the end of the day today he will have 9 games on the board. Five for Melbourne and 4 for Casey.

    As per the opening post, “ALL MATCHES ARE STREAMED ON AFL.COM AND THE AFL LIVE APP”

    And the latest update to the AFL app means it can be casted to your TV if you have a Chromecast.

    So does that mean if he has a number of as medical sub games he goes above the cut off for playing Casey finals??  No wait it’s based on games played for Casey isn’t it?

    Presumably the first ever Demons player to have featured in (at least) 8 wins by round 5.

    What’s wrong with Howes?

    I asked that too.

    I guess we will have to wait until we get an injury update from the club.

    Either way, let's hope it is nothing serious and Blake Howes will be back next week.

    I presume he goes above the cutoff for Rising Star nomination as well.

    A very interesting point you have raised.

    It feels like you are watching football in a phone booth. It doesn't help if all the play is on the other side.

    You expect that on a windy day at Casey Fields.

    Serious question KC.

    What, if anything could they do at Casey Fields to minimize the impact of the wind (other than build stands)?

    Both ends are open and the one time i was there (the roos practice match) i was thinking that perhaps some sort of wind breakers at the city end might help.  

    The wind ruins so many games down there.

    You would have to ask an expert that question. I suppose a couple of stands and a lot of tall trees would help.

    Coburg have scored their first goal and are looking dangerous again.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
