Doubt the game will go ahead as planned with that forecast. 

Or as an alternative they may keep the 4pm start but strip it back to 4x 20 minutes quarters with no time on.

Playing 6 periods of footy in potentially the high 30's would have to be pushing the boundaries of OH&S for the players and umpires.

    They play AFLW games there at night, but I agree that the lighting must be at the lower end of what is acceptable.

    I should have said 6-7 light towers :) but i think most got the point.

    i reckon it might be 3 quarters of afl side and 3 quarters of vfl side. probably without time-on now. I remember Burgess saying training in the heat was good a stressor on the team - obviously need to be careful we dont red-line and get heat stroke.

    Good to see them featuring Max King who won't be playing for the first 4-5 rounds!

    And no Membrey, so that's another player who always kicks a bag against us.

    Will be almost a pointless exercise for us, and with the expected heat, why would you bother?  Still it will give the Aints fans plenty of excuses......

    I was about to ask - what do we know about how their pre season has gone?

    The description is very ambiguous. Do they mean that the games will be divided over Kayo and Foxtel, or all games shown on both? I suspect that it is the former, as on checking the Foxtel guide, only the Syd v Bris and Freo v Adel are appearing as live games.

    If that is indeed the case, then unless you have Kayo, which we don’t, then you miss out on the live coverage. Is there any chance these streams could be shown over the AFL app, or will there be any radio broadcast (eg, Casey radio)?


    And what the hell is it with the Geelong v Hawthorn practice match… 8x30 min quarters PLUS time on!!! That could end up being 4hrs 40mins of playing time!!

    I was thinking the same thing hardback. They use 'streamed' for Kayo and 'broadcast' for Foxtel. I am hoping it still means we can see it live on Fox. I read it as a huge marketing push for new Kayo customers. Time will tell.

    I thought the same, but my son pointed out that Kayo is a streaming app, whereas Foxtel is a dedicated broadcast service. To me, that makes sense.

    Dear fr-ap

    After your further negative comments about some of our players ( JVR and other Casey premiership players) I trust that as all you did was "write them off" as potential improvements for our 2023 team on the basis of your assessment ( underwhelming to say the least) I hope you attend this game  to update your 2023 knowledge on their IMPROVeMENT as described by absolute majority of our very dedicated and knowledgeable track watchers since the start of pre season back in November. 

    Oh and we have Grundy Hunter and Schache all of whom will bring their 2019 form with no improvement either to contribute to our generally acknowledged better list in 2023 by most fans and journos assessing AFL 2023.

    I hope you are presently surprised and really who cares whether the Saints  have improved or gone backwards in 2023. They won't be in the top4 fighting for a 14th Flag come September unless Ross the Boss performs a modern miracle with their prolific list of B and C graders who play with Steele Gresham and King when he is available. 

    Go Dees in 2023. 


    With the exception of a few hundred who live close to linton street I don't expect many Dees supporters to turn up  to a late afternoon match in 34 degrees. Seems like cruel and unusual punishment to ask players to play a winter game in the conditions expected for Friday. I think there will be more for the Casey games against the Tigers.

    Sorry mate I'm not sure I follow - what negative comments? 

    I've in general only ever been bullish on JVR & as for Casey, I was one of those who criticised the club/coaches for not playing our strong VFL players like Chandler in the 1sts more last year. Do you have me confused with someone else?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
