I thought Laurie was suggested by some as being in line for promotion.

Wonder why he's out.

Hope young Woey can be right for the GF

    Woey presumably still feeling the effects of the concussion caused by the thuggish  Ladhams.

    I wonder what is up with Laurie?

    Some have suggested that we look at drafting Jack Bell as a backup ruck for the Demons, but he's only named as an emergency for this game which suggests he may not be rated that highly.

    Those suggesting drafting Bell are either totally clueless or have never seen him play.

    Re Bell, I have seen him play quite a bit so I must fit into the clueless group. I think he has shown steady improvement...if the improvement continues, which I expect, he may well have merit.

    BURY MY HEART AT CASEY?

    Post-apocalypse and the vampire banana-benders are still after blood. Question is will the few survivors rally?  And send the horde of speculators, carpet baggers,  condominium sales staff, eye-gougers and Zorko-ites back across the border to Christopher Skase Land?

    Round 1 ... be there!

    Can't see any upside in playing TMac today. Smith maybe.. simply to get some more forward time into him

    Help winning Casey a premiership maybe? I’d call that upside.

    VFL premierships are irrelevant. It's a training group.

    We have played in many of them over the years including the old Reserves comp but they don't contribute where it counts.

    Lions and the likes of Matho and Robbo have everything to play for today. A spot in the Prelim next week whereas our listed AFL players are probably playing for a spot on next years list. Its a shame some of the better performing Casey players did not get games in the ones during the year. Seems they can't get into the ones and the players in the one's who can't get a kick and when they do turn it over can't get into the Casey team. Work it out.

    He won't cut at AFL level. He could be a poor man's Chris Woodman.

    He tries hard & maybe has shown steady improvement but he can't mark, kick or handball which may hamper his development somewhat.

    Looks like the VFL has been bumped from the TV today. Channel 7 going with the passing of the Queen coverage l, because heaven knows there hasn't been enough of that over the last 24 hours....

    Sorry if it’s already been talked about, but it’s just Bowey and McDonald who won’t be able to play next week if we win right? But we could play Melksham as he’s played over 7 games?

    He’s mostly dropped because 4 talls just won’t work in the forward line so Weid has to ruck to open the forward line up.

    I think there’s probably better state league options but the way he was developing suggests to me he’ll be a good VFL ruck in a year or 2. The difference between good VFL rucks and half the back up rucks on afl lists is just good luck so it wouldn’t shock me

    That's my understanding.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
