The Casey Demons kick off their premiership defence at Casey Fields on Saturday afternoon against the Bulldogs 

 

I presume that MFC members will get in for free.

Seemingly 'towelled up' at 'theirs' in the praccy game this weekend? Interested in any reporting from watchers. Hopefully a different result next week at 'Fortress Fields'! Ins and outs, watchers?

I saw most of game when not distracted by kids. Lacklustre performance by Casey. The Footscray smalls did the damage.

Casey players available next week include Munro , badly missed, and Grey. Not Corey Ellison who has moved to Williamstown and kicked 4 on weekend. I believe Mitch White will not be back yet.

Despite the result, I'm predicting a win on Saturday.

I believe KC said we had 16 demons out there and no Woey who was getting a broken finger repaired. So the line up would be something like this.

FF: Sestan Scache Jeffo
HF: AMW  JVR
C; Howes JJ
HB: D. Smith D. Turner Hibberd
FB: J. Smith Adams? K. Turner
Foll: KFW  Dunstan?
Int: Verrell

That's a lot of young talls and an incredibly light on midfield if there's none of the better Casey mids in Munro, White or Grey.

Whilst I hope they can win games which needs a bit more Casey and Melbourne experience in the middle I do like the idea of our young talls and mids actually getting a chance to be important structural players. Now he's had a taste of AFL footy I'd love to see Laurie in the midfield at Casey and getting 25 touches a week.

I noticed Jed Adams played on the weekend?

Any idea how he went?

I didn't really notice Jed Adams, but I wouldn't make too much of that.

One player I did notice is young Charlie Peters. Came on in the last quarter, great smother which resulted in a goal and instrumental in another. Tried his heart out. Well done young man on a disappointing day.

Mitch White (Captain) and Jimmy Munro (Vice Captain)  have been named to lead the Casey Demon's VFL side in season 2023.

Jack Bell and George Grey are new additions to the leadership group.

 

LOL The Bulldogs must be sick n tired of watching us unfurling 🏆 flags.

No Woey. He’s injured (broken finger) 😢

Just had look at our fixture.

We play our first three games, and four of our first 5 games at Casey, which is a nice little leg up.

I wonder if the sub on Friday night will play 2 games (assuming they only play limited AFL minutes).

That would also involve a flight out of Brisbane late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Do the rules allow it? Is it players/club choice to manage how they want or is there some formula regarding total allowable minutes played per weekend or something like that?

The good news is, EVERY VFL game in 2023 will be streamed live via AFL.com.au and their app.

Are you predicting if we lose it be because of Tomlinson?

Doing that...flying them back...wasn't an issue last year...a couple were quite touch and go in terms of flights.
