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.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
