CASEY: Rd 03 vs Frankston

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Everyone loves a local derby and the Casey Demons vs Frankston game on Sunday afternoon is the VFL’s quintessential local derby. The game looms as the perfect right of passage event leading to the game in Perth between Melbourne and the West Coast Eagles. 

Can Casey make it 3 and 0 at Casey Fields?

[Diamond_Jim 12,687]

Pity it's not at Frankston. Lovely ground. Mind you the local supporters rival the Port supporters of yesteryear

[Bystander 903]

I thought the Frankston supporters last year at Frankston were great.

With the afl team in Perth and the sub/emergency unable to get back for this game, plus the injuries, a few of the Casey boys will get a run that would otherwise miss out.

Will be a great game and I'm looking forward to it. Casey by 48.

Last week Casey put in an all round team performance against Sydney despite being light on for AFL listed players.

It will be interesting to see how they go against a stand alone VFL team. The Dolphins always give you value for your money.

Is it on kayo?

Not sure Redleg I don’t have Kayo.!!

[DeeZone 10,401]

KC I hope that Daniel Turner and Josh Schache are available to cover the height with TMac and Tomlinson possibly flying to Perth.

[The Great Pretender 480]

Melbourne has selected a squad of 26 for the Eagles game. Will all players travel to Perth or will a couple stay/return to Melbourne to play for Casey on Sunday?

Yep no issues last year there.

They did have the usual mosh pit yelling out dumbass abuse at our fellas & the umps but thats par for the course.

The rest were just decent Demon folk plus the regular local stoners

Great opportunity for Disco to stake his claim.

*23rd Player

[old55 23,833]

Emergencies Melksham, Tomlinson and Dunstan named, but Jordon isn't so that's probably confirmation that he's MFC sub on Sunday. If they line up as selected it's a bit surprising we're only taking 23 to WA.

We will take 24 at least. Tomlinson looks most likely to be travelling emergency.

No Jordon named for Casey, so looks like he's the 23rd man. Just a question of who else from Melksham, Tomlinson and Dunstan travel to Perth?

They’ll definitely take one more player - most likely Tomlinson because Melksham needs game time.

[Elwood 3184 1,362]

Does anyone know the nature of Kye Turner‘s injury? I don’t think he was mentioned in the weekly injury report.

He would have been handy against his former club.

A word of advice to Casey Demon fans coming out to Casey Fields today, after two weeks of pleasant sunny conditions at the VFL’s Fortress of Paim. Brace yourselves for some nasty weather - it’s wet and very windy and there’s a Sheep Graziers alert - the sort of weather that brings out the CDFSS in me because, these are the conditions that make for upsets which the Dolphins almost did last year in bleak weather. Mitch White would have been handy today.
