IMG_3211.jpeg.03049da1f91589e3d88f6e428c0ddca7.jpegIf you thought the Casey Demons were tested last week when they took on the then undefeated Box Hill Hawks at Wonthaggi, then what about the test they face this week?

The Gold Coast Suns are undefeated on top of the ladder and last week crushed Richmond VFL by 63 points at Punt Road - just one week after the Tigers beat the Demons by 2 goals at their Casey Fields fortress.

Saturday’s game at Carrara between the VFL’s top two teams is a curtain raiser for the big AFL clash and will present Casey with its biggest challenge since last year’s grand final.

This is going to be an extremely tough game, especially with Luke Dunstan out. Mitch White coming back last week made a massive differencel. Does anyone have any news on Jimmy Munro (we need him in the side). Because he's not a Melbourne-listed player we don't get any injury news.

Has a selected side been published anywhere yet? Wondering whether Spargs is playing VFL this weekend

Snap.

Just posted this on the pre game thread:

What's the deal with the VFL team yet to be announced, despite the game being in less than 24 hours and the players will have already flown up there.

I've searched everywhere - including the Casey demons twitter account and nada for both us and the Suns. Seems very strange. 

Any insight you could share @KC from Casey?

 

I expect Harmes and Schache to be held over for the MFC games in case, Harmes as sub again. I think it still means about 15 listed MFC players in the Casey team. If Spargo plays then the forward line is pretty much all listed players: BBB, TMac, J.Smith, Jefferson, Spargo, Sestan, AMW.

Teams always seem to drop around 5pm on Friday. Have no idea why this is the case.

 

Very strong team...with Munro still to come in. Very hard for the Casey demons boys to get a run...must be a very resilient group.

Gee that's a pretty strong VFL side.

I wish I'd known about this game earlier.

Will be cruising around the Goldy in a boat.

I'd rather be in an empty stadium drinking soap out of a plastic cup and watching our team.

Should be a cracking game. The Suns must be slowly building into a competitive side at both levels

Virtually confirms that James Harmes is the sub for Melbourne and/or that someone is out of the selected side for the main game.

Poita's post mentions Harmes and TMac as injured..........who knows

I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about there being zero chance Spargo not getting selected if fit....

If you saw that forward line on paper 2 years ago you would think Casey will gallop it in. I especially hope Bbb plays well as I feel his best is needed.

Wow, looking at this picture and reading the words I can hear Don Adam's funny voice.

One of the funniest scenes from that show was when 99s mother came to live with them. She witnessed Max fighting with several enemy agents. She looked at 99 and said she had no idea the greeting card business was so tough.

Edited by leave it to deever

We will all be watching D Smith from now on given Maysie has pumped his Tyres up.

Similarly experienced line up didn’t help us vs Richmond at Casey 2 weeks ago, but last week was a good win vs Box Hill away, so who knows?

TMac listed as injured! I wonder what is the issue?

Where does it mention Harmes is injured DJ?

I think it just says McDonald and Dunstan are injured.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
