Realistically, how much would it cost to setup an AFL reserves competition? Like how much more than the current setup?

Are you including SA and WA?

You probably need an extra 15 players on the "Reserve List". What is the incentive for these players. Do they ever train with the AFL listed players. At one stage Collingwood reserves were begging for players.

My take is that there simply isn't any money or desire to re-invigorate the competition.

Another point I used to make is that there is little incentive to grow crowd numbers. If they do that stadium providers (mainly local councils) need to pay for more facilities (toilets, grandstands etc)

JvR improved as day went on..some impressive "clunks".

Schache let himself down when, with less than a goal in it, with the ball in contest in their forward half, he thought he would protest the absence of a free kick to him, rather than compete for the ball. Richmond possession.

Casey players:

Burgoyne did similar to Schache early in game when he nonchalantly jogged along behind a ball that looked like it might go out. It didn't. Richmond waltz in, grab it and goal.

Goonan competed very well. As always, Munro in it all day. Mitch White was missed and is needed back in team. George Grey injured early, little impact but very clever goal late in game. Roan Steele competed quite well, marred by a sloppy return of ball to a Richmond player which resulted in a 50m penalty to tigers and a goal.

Team will improve on that performance.

I thought James Jordon was BOG, controlled most of the game with Munro, but we missed White and Luke Dunstan in the middle.

At 3QTime the coach said he didn't care what the scoreboard said - that was the truth. We gave up a 4 goal lead going with the wind. Schache was very good early. Varrell rucked manfully. Hibberd had a lot of the ball, but seems now behind Bowey and McVee. Disco Turner, as usual did some nice things. Kye Turner tried in a different role this week, a bit more forward - shows promise. Sestan quiet in that high half-forward role.

Van Rooyen always competes hard, but Schache showed how he (Schache) is a bit cleaner around goals.

I think amother 250-500 gs would be enough!😀

I may have been in error in attributing the sloppy return and 50m penalty to Roan Steele. If so, apologies to young Roan.

Finally some footage from Casey

 

 

Finally.
 

but how bad was the techno robotic music. Ouch. Surely these some better tunes in rhe clubs Spotify playlist !!! 

Am I correct that Casey are playing a practice match against Coburg tomorrow evening at home? If so has anyone got any information on the squad?

I would like to see if Frisch and Viney are to get a run.

Nothing worse than goal highlight packages that only show the set shot and ignore the actual intersting part of how the player recieved the set shot.  Was it a towering pack mark, a exquisite pass to a strong lead or a down the ground free?

Practice Match of 4 x 25 minute quarters today at Casey Fields at 6:45pm 

This cuts across my work so I can’t make it to the game but I will try to get the scores relayed to me and posted here. I will also post the teams if I can get hold of them.

What we really need to find is some local (or far away) Demons dedicated enough to the cause to turn up and report on the game. 

Couldn't get through to MFC for some more details about this game. Found the Casey club contact and was told the match is against Coburg tonight. They couldn't tell me if Fritta was playing though 🙂

The unfurling of the flag will be at Casey Fields before the start of our VFL round 1 match versus the Dogs.

For lunatics like me (and many in the DA) it means going straight to Casey from the airport having arrived on Saturday morning from our AFL round two match vs Lions at the ‘Gabba on the Friday night.

Bugger having such a successful Club… so many unfurlings to squeeze in  😂

Yep, you need both in a highlights reel. I remember a few years ago AFL media would do the other way round and only show the mark before the set shot and not the kick.

Coburg have not been stellar in recent times

Hopefully it's not a massacre

It could be a massacre but, based on the selected side, not what you might have been expecting when you posted.

Looking at Casey’s ‘outs’, the selectors have taken out all MFC players from last week as well as seven of the top Casey regulars. Skipper Mitch White was also missing last week and is still out - as is Finn Emile-Brennan.

Next week should see a much stronger Casey Demons -

SATURDAY, MARCH 18

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
