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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
