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.

    The team is out ~ Spargo is in.

    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?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
