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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
