Casey playing up there, aren’t they?

Yep 11 am start. If going there to watch you will need to go out of ground after and return in when gates open at 2.30pm

    Thank god this game is on the Gold coast, can you imagine going to the game this Saturday at the G for a 4.30 start. Max temp 13 for the day with showers. Kayo with a nice red sounds like heaven by comparison.

    In regards to it being tough to break into the team, I really do hope that anybody that has a niggle is being rested when they should. Don't want the same thing to happen this year as last getting to the back end of the season and those players with niggles playing when they shouldn't be.

    Hmm no Spargo - you don’t wanna get an injury with this team, hard to get back in!

    Especially when your pre injury form wasn't great

    Are you certain he passed all protocols?  Maybe he missed a couple of key milestones and needs another week?

    Where’s Spargo? Also, surely Hibberd is a late out and someone like Schache comes back in so Petty can go down back? Suns have got 3x 195cm+ forwards and they’ve brought in Casboult. 
     

    Weather forecast also says it’ll be a dry game.

    Or maybe he simply didn't make the team purely because how well we're travelling and the form of Pickett, Nibbler and now Chandler who are just much more dynamic at ground level.

    It's a hard side to crack. He'll just need to bide his time.

    I don’t think there was anything wrong with Spargo’s form pre injury. He’s kicked 2 goals three times in 4 and a bit games and was his usual self with score involvements and goal assists.

    Harmes for sub IMHO.

    With the VFL the game before the seniors, are players withheld in case of an injury during warm-up? Perhaps one of the other emergencies get pulled out of the VFL game at half-time in case we end up needing them as a sub, and the player  who was supposed to be sub, gets promoted?

    Every chance. Time's passed when clubs take any risk with concussion.

    But we'll see.

    If he plays in the VFL game on Saturday prior to the one's game you'd assume concussion is not a concern.

    Weather is great up here. Nice warm days around 23-27degrees and cool nights so expect first half to be in warmish conditions then maybe the cool night air will come down around 5.30- 6.00 pm. By that time I hope we are heaps in front.

    Some big outs for GC. The ones missing have played a significant impact in some of those win this year.

    Personal opinion: Spargo may be stranded in Casey team for some time.

    Yes will be hard gig as Casey forward line is currently land of the giants. Lots of roving opportunities but very hard to apply pressure by yourself….

    Where did you read this? It’s not on the MFC website. 

    Spargo not named a surprise if he has passed protocols. Shows how fierce the competition is for spots if he’s fit.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
