Casey are still on top of the ladder undefeated while Brisbane are second having just beating Sandy by 25 points so this should be a cracker of a game.

Game starts at 11:35am on Saturday at Moreton Bay Sports Complex Qld.

 

Possible team

B: D.Smith, Turner, McVee

HB: Bowey, Tomlinson, Baker

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Chandler, Joel.Smith, Bedford

F: M.Brown, Weideman, van Rooyen

FOLL: Bell, Harmes, Laurie

IC: White, Munro, Buntine, Spencer, Valentine

    Nice that the whole squad can travel to Queensland together.

    I suspect that T Mac may play limited minutes for Casey. He joined the main training session this week. Boom or bust.

    T / Mac  Good call.

    Interstate VFL...It must be costing the AFL a fortune in airfares not to mention AFLW as well. Do they stay overnight in hotels before an 11.35am kick off. They'd have to. 

    Anyone know how   all these travel expenses work out.

    I would find 11.35am a weird time for an under 11s game to start. For a marquee fixture in the country's 2nd biggest league to start at that time is just bizarre.

    That said, it would fit in perfectly with the joke that is this competition to have the first final to be played at 4:17pm on a Tuesday.

    Shame the VFL game isn't a curtain raiser.

    Even when they are they aren't because they are required to finish around 45 minutes before the first bounce. The numbers there even for the last quarter are insignificant.

    I actually like the use of the old inner suburban heritage grounds. Unfortunately Casey played at very few of them this year. Port Melbourne, Coburg and Windy Hill are probably my favourites. Frankston and Williamstown on a wind free day are also great

    It was a good atmosphere at the Frankston ground this year. The locals were vocal and good fun...but I stood on other side.

    Definitely advisable at Frankston. Must be something in the water down that way. Old Port supporters can be interesting but alas not many of them left.

    Forgot to give an honourable mention to Box Hill Oval.. lovely grassed areas

    Five changes with James Harmes going up to the Melbourne team to play the Brisbane Lions tonight and James Munro out with a lower leg injury from last weekend while James Jordon comes down from the Demons’ AFL side.

    Do they need a loss before finals?  I don't think so and I hope not.  An undefeated season is something to grasp when a team gets the chance.

    Top of the table clash. Lions on home deck and strong team as well.  Together with Southport, Lions are probably the closest threat to Casey. Sunny 22c day forecast tomorrow so beautiful conditions for footy. Go the CASEY Demons.

    Another chance for Smith to show what he can do up front. 

    You'd hope that it is not an opportunity to 'show what he can do up front' but instead, an opportunity to practise and solidify what he will be doing/is being instructed to do up front in the AFL finals .

    Same-same in my book. Show what he can do with coach's instructions etc

    Last night’s sub James Jordon played less than a full quarter last night. Does that mean he can still play today for Casey?

    Good question alpha. I've been trying all year to find the rules that govern the operation of VFL comp. Would be interested to hear.

    My guess is that the squad will all get on a BNE-MEL charter flight with the Coburg boys who start at the same time against Southport.

    Yes I was wondering about that. Given we have plenty of Dees to cover, it’s less likely.  But surely if they want, then  he (and Mitch Robinson) should be able to play. They got little game time and assume they’d be better for the run.

    James Jordon is indeed playing for Casey today. Ryan Koo has taken Jake Bowey’s place in the 23.

    Brisbane draw first blood with an early goal.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
