Big game. Casey are flying undefeated while the Suns are % out of the 8 currently 11th and last week beat top 8 team GWS by 9 goals so it might be our biggest test yet.

Possible team:

B: D.Smith, Ellison, Buntine
HB: Hunt, Tomlinson, Rivers
C: Baker, Dunstan, Woewodin
HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Laurie
F: Moniz-Wakefield, M.Brown, Chandler
FOLL: Bell, White, Munro
IC: McVee, Rosman, Grey, Josh Smith, Steele

    • Demonland changed the title to CASEY: Rd 14 vs Gold Coast Suns

    Isn't that a little pessimistic? I would have thought Southport was the big test. Relatively settled team, for VFL, heading north. Gold Coast will be a couple short as emergencies to go to Adelaide, I expect.

    Weather predicted is sunny and 22 degrees...biggest problem should be sunstroke.

    Shame no Majak.

    Apart from no Majak, it looks an extremely strong team and should be good viewing tomorrow.

    Next week we play Port at Casey (no Burra burgers this year)

    Southport weren't a real test we flogged them. I think Gold Coast have more quality players.

    I think in the emergencies Day will play but I'm not sure anyone else will play. I think they will travel with 2 emergencies.

    The Gold Coast started off poorly but they have won their last 2 games against Collingwood and GWS. They wont be a push over, Budarick, Sharp, Constable, Macpherson, Thompson, Day, J.Corbett, Sexton, Andrew and Tsitas are all quality players.

    Possible Gold Coast side

    B:  Foggo, Thompson, Budarick

    HB: Nicholls, Brock, McLennan

    C: Sharp, Constable, Faulkhead

    HF: Macpherson, Day, J.Corbett

    F: Sexton, Andrew, Conroy 

    FOLL:  Moyle, Tsitas, Oea 

    IC: Stone, M.Corbett, Bella, Murtagh, Harrington

    Josh.Smith is probably injured so I would replace him with Milford.

    This is definitely a danger game. The Suns have more depth on their list at this point in time than they have had for several seasons.

    Couldn't the Suns field emergencies there's at least 1 or 2 players that won't play out of Atkins, Day, Fiorini and Hollands.

    The odd man out among the seven “ins” for Casey is 19 year old former Oakleigh Chargers tall Ryan Valentine. All of the other inclusions for this week are Melbourne listed players while 196cm tall Valentine has been brought in to basically cover for Josh Smith who was very impressive on debut recently but was injured in the game against Collingwood VFL a fortnight ago. Ironically, Valentine who is on the Old Scotch VAFA roster was previously on the Magpies’ VFL list. He is expected to lend a hand in the ruck and forward duties. He was at the Chargers in their 2019 premiership squad and remained in their squads through to last year therefore was a teammate of previous number 1 draft picks in Matt Rowell, Jamara Ugle-Hagan as well as other elite draft selections in Noah Anderson and Nick Daicos and some other well-credentialed picks including our own Bailey Laurie so he should feel right at home playing with Casey.

    You’re on the Gold Coast, the weather’s perfect and you’re not going to be there in person?

    I might get out there, depends on Mrs. Redlegs’ plans.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
