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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
