After a week’s hiatus thanks to the bye, Casey returns home for what appears to be a danger game against an improving North Melbourne. Both teams will be affected by injuries and suspensions from their AFL affiliates.

    No team details yet? I'm assuming the Melbourne emergencies (and even sub depending on playing time) will get back from Adelaide in time for thus match.

    Tight timing for the sub with a 1:35pm start at Casey.

    Not really. Plenty of flights on Saturday morning to get them to Casey on time. In the past they have been prepared to cut it pretty fine...but tomorrow wouldn't be a problem.

    Usually emergencies will fly out tonight if they're not needed.

    You're right but gee that's a stressful life for a player isn't it!

    Agreed. Would need to fly back Saturday morning I'd assume which does leave it reasonably tight (1:20 flight, 30 minutes time difference, 1:15 from Airport to Casey Fields). Might have to get up pretty early in Adelaide but business travellers catch early flights all the time between Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide.

    I would assume that. Get the emergencies to Melbourne late tonight. e.g. there's a 9:10 Virgin flight.

    Munro back ?

    No idea. It's been a course of frustration for me that Casey's most important player has been out injured for some time and I have absolutely no idea of the nature of his injury, expected time for return etc. The reality is that because he's not a Melbourne-listed player the Club  clearly doesn't believe it's their responsibility to keep us informed. Is Casey part of the Melbourne set-up or not?

    The only snippet I've heard on Munro was during the Casey coverage a few weeks ago.  I believe I heard one of the commentators mention that Jimmy had a 6 to 8 week calf injury. Can't recall exactly which game it was so I'm not inclined to go searching for it.

    Yes its all pretty p!$$ poor from MFC. 

    Casey are pretty much ignored. There should be dedicated regular update on what's happening at Casey.

    Its embarrassing that people get more information about Casey from Demonland than from MFC.

    17 of the 23 are Melbourne-listed players. At least the Sub will be genuinely Casey! (plus probably one to come in for the Melbourne Sub). The team listing is still not on the AFL website.

    I've said it before but it's not in their interest to promote the VFL. Double the attendances to 2k and you need more toilets, attendants etc etc.

    Ideally you could select say 4 grounds .. Vic Park, Port Melbourne etc etc and get them to 5k mini stadiums but until then thank heavens for the streaming coverage we now get.

    It's a pity because it's a great product for those who want to watch high class football in a relaxed and informal setting

    We need a dedicated Reserves comp and separate VFL, that isn't the hybrid mess of competing interests we have now.


    We could have double header reserves games on Sundays at venues like Vic Park, Princes Park and other good metro stadiums that DJ mentions, with extended Interchange benches to maximise flexibility for AFL listed players. 


    Meanwhile the VFL becomes a genuine and fairer second tier comp where all clubs are trying to win as their first priority and not just 'develop' players or 'give a run to a returning star'. I remember watching the 2015 VFL grand final with Cyril Rioli playing after returning from injury. They took him (the best player on the field) off at 3/4 time so as not to risk injury for the AFL Grand Final the next week. 

    I could also go back to supporting the Boroughs instead of the conflict I have now.

    Good side Munro’s injury must be serious been out for a while now. Forgot about Buntine, Koo must be the 23rd man. Farris-White must be playing in the under 18’s again.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
