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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
