In recent years, there’s been a build up of rivalry between the Casey Demons and the Box Hill Hawks and this weekend the two sides go bush to Wonthaggi. After their surprise defeat at home to Richmond last week, Casey will be desperate to win against the undefeated Hawks to retain a top four placing. It won’t be easy.

Tough game this week. But the Casey team should be fired up after last weeks loss. Assume Laurie as sub again. Potentially: 

D.Smith. Tomlinson. Adams. 
J.Smith   D.Turner  *Buntine 
Woey jnr Dunstan *Steele
Howes Tmcd Melksham
Anw Bbb Jefferson
*Bell Harmes *Munro

Int. Sestan. *Grey *Valentine *Edwards *Z.Duursma

What’s your team WERRIDEE??

White is close to being back.

White is back this week

INS – White, Laurie, Melksham, J.Smith, Buntine, Duursma

OUTS – Edwards, Simpson, Valentine, Grey, Neocleous, Shepherd

Team Selection | Round 6 VFLW & VFL

IN Buntine Duursma Laurie, Melksham J Smith White

OUT Edwards Grey Neocleous Simpson Shepherd Valentine

That is a very strong VFL team should give the Hawks a good run.!!!

i've seen worse-on-paper mfc sides than that over the years

Surely Laurie or Harmes are the sub this week. 
 

Really keen to see Zane Duursma step up for this one.

The sub should play this week because the seniors are on a Saturday and the reserves are on a Sunday.

Will be interesting to see how it goes.

The undefeated Hawks have a very strong lineup that’s been bolstered by a few players coming down from their AFL team. This is going to be a tough contest.

Where would George Grey be playing when dropped from Casey? I really rate this guy.

What happened to White?  Injury I assume?  I couldn't see any news with a quick search, but he wasn't in the side.  It's been bugging me for weeks.  

(not bugging me enough to take the time to do a proper search, obviously 😁 )

I believe George Grey and White are both linked to Cranbourne. And Munro? There was an article saying he played a couple of games there last year and kicked 5 in one. Named in best last week so if available I would think he will be in this week...despite team sheet which is often off.

Had to have his left knee (don't hold me to which one but pretty sure it was left lol) cleaned out.

Yes both very strong line ups.  Will be a close one inv.  Agree with comments re George Grey.  He is often one of the best and has developed really nicely over the past 2 years.  Would be first back in if a space is available.  They must rate Max Gregory (or junior Bowey as I call him) to have him in before other more seasoned teammates.  Showed good traits with the footy this year.  

James Harmes was the sub last night but only came on in the last quarter and had 16% time on ground. Given the minimal time on the ground, is he eligible to play today?
