CASEY: Rd 21 vs Carlton VFL

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
