Fritsch was of course drafted the following year which leaves only Hunt and Petty from that team. (Hunt at that time was an established player who had lost form as a running backman.)

It's certainly not a nursery for future talent

Fritsch was drafted in 2017 played in 2018 and was dropped from the senior team that played in the 2018 Preliminary Final for Joel Smith. He was allowed to Play in the Casey game because the MFC was still in the finals.

    Jayden Hunt Harry Petty and Bailey Fritsch played in that game. Fritsch was dropped from the Team that played The Eagles in the PF

    Only Munro and White are playing in the game on Sunday. 

    add Grey to the both games list.




     

    No, Grey wasn't playing for Casey in 2018. He was still at st Bede's. I am told by his schoolmate that he won 5 straight GFs at st Bede's plus 6 straight at Beaumaris. Tomorrow will be 12 in 7 completed seasons plus a Herald Sun shield if Casey wins.

    If we had won last week Bowey could have played in the Grand Final. That's if he had not been picked to play Geelong. 

    Is that how it works? Or would he have just reached a required threshold # of games? Seems very confusing

    Ok must have been another grey in 2018. Still not many players from only four years ago. Guess if youre any good a team has picked you up and if not you have been moved on.

    I used to watch Norword also in the old days when we were ordinary. Didn't Ros Dillon and Greg Parke play there at some stage.

    I believe so Doc, Ross Dillon was a handy cricketer also.

    And I’ll wend my way up the freeway from the leafy inner east. Hope they accept cash for tickets at the gate. Back to the 70s and 80’s. Go Casey.

    Looking forward to it. You know your teenagers are ‘institutionalised’ when they ask you to take them to watch Casey.

    I’m taking my youngest - it will be the closest thing you will get to a time capsule as to how footy used to be prior to the obsessive political correct corporate product served up today. Wasn’t joking about the cash option! Desperately hoping there is no “game day experience” and that the game itself is the experience. Should be great fun.

    Remember to bob down at the ticket window to buy your "junior" ticket. Worked for me till I was 22!

    I go to  VFL games on a regular basis, one of the big reasons is the game day experience is the game. Yes more like attending the game of my youth. Enjoy.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
