The VFL is still a thing and, following their disappointing one point home defeat at the hands of Williamstown before the bye, the Casey Demons travel to Ikon Park to take on the Blues knowing that they have to win one of their two remaining matches to finish in the top six and avoid a wild card match in the group of 7th to 10th.

Over the last 3 weeks we have lost Howes, Sestan & Petty all to end-of-the-season injuries. This will seriously test our depth and impact Casey a lot.

True, but these losses could very well be offset by the potential return from injuries of Clayton Oliver, Tom McDonald and Kye Turner to return us to the status quo. Also Carlton has a big injury list of its own.

I'll be there.

A great place to watch footy these days. And somewhere near my place - unlike Casey

I cant see Clarry playing at Casey.

Straight back into the ones is my guess.

But clearly would push someone back to Casey. Commentary seemed to be saying harmes was injured (wasn’t able to watch closely unfortunately) but if he plays for Casey he’s a 30 touch mid. As is jordon. Even taj racks em up.
Definitely stretched down back without turner and Tomlinson intercepting and Howes out now is just added pain. Wondering if Tmac (if deemed fit) or Schache is sent down back given the height up forward being excessive

Won't send TMAC down back, he plays up front for a couple of weeks and sees if he can get into the 1s, he hasn't been injury free since 2021.

Looks like our father son prospect is playing this week K. Brown?

Good to see Kye Turner in the side.  He's missed a hell of a lot of footy this year.

16 MFC listed players is good, although at least 2 will come out for the senior side for Sub and emergency.

It’s a Sunday game, so maybe not.

He will be happy as well.

All those laps he ran, mostly by himself. At times, it didn't appear easy for him. Occasionally joining the main group, then returning to full rehab at the next training run. The niggle just wouldn't go.

Looks like it's on Channel 7.

You're right. I thought it was tomorrow. So maximum one out for sub is likely.

No bye this week?

that’s weird

Likewise, hoping for a relaxed and happy watch after a win against the Blues. Spent a couple of years at a residential college over the road from Prinny Park, and would regularly pop in for the last quarter for free (full game for Dees, obviously). Should be nostalgic. 

Can anyone confirm earlier reports that it is televised live on ch 7 ?

Thanks

I won’t be able to watch the game but I look forward especially hearing about how Tom MCD looks after all this time.  A great opportunity for him to stake a claim, though I wouldn’t expect too much from him first up.

I'm going to go and will keep a close eye on tmac.

Definitely appears to be the case.

I am crossing all of my fingers and toes for Tom McDonald today. I'd love for him to get through the whole match without issue and even kick a few. He could be exactly what we need. 

Thinking of heading in. Any tips on parking?

Try the Avenue in Parkville, risk a 2hr park in Princes Hill or worse case scenario go the zoo 

All eyes will be on Tmac.

Let's not forget Schache was named emergency. Just shows he's certainly in some contention if he plays well.

Goodwin did not sound all that confident that Grundy will be locked in moving forward. Played a pretty straight bat, but I think we all know Goodwin well enough to think that he knows deep down that Grundy forward experiment didn't work and we'll have to readjust.
