CASEY: Rd 14 vs Geelong

[KC from Casey 6,672]

This week’s contest against Geelong is a must win if the Casey Demons are to arrest their downward spiral over the past 4 or 5 weeks. They won the corresponding game at GMHBA Stadium last year and with a much stronger side on the park this week, they should get the job done.

On the VFL website they have two players to watch for the Casey Demons 

• Josh Schache  - leading club goal kicker for 2023 with 19 goals (average 2.4) 

• Blake Howes - leading club disposals for 2023 with 245 (average 22.3) and leading club marks for 2023 with 75 (average 6.8)

Would like to see Howes getting a game at AFL level. Hope it’s soon.

Schache has missed his chance for this year. Just gets pushed off the ball too easily as a key forward in a one on one and does not seem to have the ability to find space.

Is there a spot going forward into 2024... I can't see it

If Petty is half fit and unavailable for the main game we could do worse than give him a half to 3/4 at Casey for this game.

The connection between Tomlinson and Howes at VFL level is very good. It would be interesting to see it at AFL level when the time is right.

I read that he came to us from Doggies searching for more opportunity - from the games I’ve watched (only one live) he hasn’t looked like it, even though he’s the leading goal kicker.

We could do a lot better in fact a bloo.. lot better of getting Harry completely fit before we risk him in any grade albeit in a VFL game that he need not be playing when not fully fit. 

Whatever your thoughts you are not serious please, and thinking of Harry's future in any way shape or form.

A perfect example of why you should not mix alcohol and prescription medication.

Agreed,  and what prey tell is bullitsh?  Quite a few frightened posters on this forum.  Australians always seem worried someone might catch feelings.

Poor BBB and we really need him fit and firing at the buisness end of the year for another crack at the big one. I remember that Nick Riewoldt had to have his knee drained on a regular basis near the end of his career and he still played some great footy for the Saints.!!!

Gotta plead a bit of ignorance with this one, it was early and got confused by the full stops after 'bloo'. My bad!

you do wonder why it's being played at night. I suppose it is to make it easier for the non AFL listed players who have jobs.

Wonder what they prefer Friday night or noon Saturday.

Good luck to young Verrall on his return from injury - hopefully gets through the game and starts building some good form
