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.

I think you are correct Sydee that mobility is extremely important in our thinking for the forward line. Which is why the club would be wrapt if a player like Schache was able to produce the goods for

There would appear to be other ways of managing players throughout the year, apart from being rested from a game. From the time on ground stats, it would appear that, on Saturday, we started to rest o

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.

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….

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
