CASEY: Rd 19 vs Williamstown

[KC from Casey 7,064]

The Casey Demons are back home this Sunday against one of the more highly rated stand alone sides in Williamstown who are always tough opponents. This should be worth a watch.

[DeeZone 9,841]

Thanks KC back at our Fortress let’s hope we get the win.!!

An interesting “in” ~ K. Brown, son of Doggy

Casey has had some torrid clashes against the Seagulls in recent years so it needs to be at full strength. 

This team looks quite strong to me.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

It’s a good mix of Melbourne and Casey listed players with 14 MFC (will go to 12 when the sub and a spare player are held over for the game against Richmond) 8 VFL listers and father/son prospect Kynan Brown.

Our greatest #39 pulling on his boots for the filth:

Schache to play back perhaps?

With D Turner out, one of our key talls surely has to play in defence. Can't fit all of BBB, Jefferson, Schache and Grundy into the forward line.

Which he's done for the past 2 years....

I thought he was just their development coach?

[manny100 1,556]

Kynan Brown gets a go.  Well done Kynan.

Corrigan?

Meanwhile, Casey’s hopes of making the top four are evaporating. They depend on one of the teams above them losing one or two games and of course, winning all of their remaining games. I was hoping the Brisbane Lions might lose to top side Gold Coast at Carrara but late in the first quarter they were 40 points up on the Suns.

Big fightback by Gold Coast. One point the difference nearing end of the 2nd quarter!

GC now 17 points up!

A 4 goal haul and some good one on one body work tomorrow, might see a Schache call up against North

I would have agreed an hour ago but it seems Gold Coast will beat Brisbane in a few minutes and Sandy putting up a good contest against the Hawks.

Top 4 will probably come down to final round when we play Brisbane.

With Gold Coast winning today, Casey is in control of it's own Top 4 destiny. If Box Hill loses today that would be a bonus.

So not happening then?

[Whispering_Jack 30,107]

Now Casey’s fate is in its own hands with Gold Coast’s big comeback over the Lions. All the Demons have to do is win their three remaining games and percentage won’t even come into it. A win tomorrow would put Casey half a game behind them with a home game against them in the final round.

Box Hill won today and will probably win their remaining games to finish third.

[Nascent 9,212]

Apart from Grundy I'm looking forward to seeing Jefferson back in action and hoping for a stellar game from Laurie.

Edit: forgot Kynan Brown playing for Casey as well.

But still 2-3 weeks away from getting to run 100 metres in under 11 seconds so we will have to be patient!!! #Clarry4Paris2024
