CASEY: Rd 07 vs Gold Coast Suns

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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....

    smart

    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.

    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?

    I think it just says McDonald and Dunstan are injured.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
