Two narrow defeats in a row have placed the Casey Demons in the precarious position whereby they must beat the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Sunday to avoid a wild card playoff for teams finishing 7th to 10th.

That is a tall forward line!!!

yep

It's been a problem in a few games. Especially if you are trying to play one of them into form.

Realistically.. all eyes on TMac

Like Disco back in. Steele should come back in and maybe Neocluous as I think Jordon will be sub and Spargo the carryover player.

I think that is probably right. Bell a bit unlucky not to come back in after injury but, to put it mildly, team seems okay in the talls department. I am not sure it will start that way, but the FF line is remarkable.

The team is not tall enough!

Footscray’s 12 goal victory over Port Melbourne today means that Casey will drop to 7th if it loses to the Brisbane Lions tomorrow. 

My interpretation, to avoid dropping to 7th ( where they went to today but with a game to come ) the boys have to not only win tomorrow, but do so by a margin of around 28% to avoid being in 7th on percentage.

A challenge but doable.

and Brown!


Rhys Mathieson playing tommorrow, might have to go and bag him!

Ziggy Toledo-Glasman,

Gotta see this guy play  ZTG 

Another game where I only see up to 3/4 time, as I have to head to the "G".

Not very good scheduling. 

Great that D.Turner is back, with Jed developing and Kye getting some match fitness, the youngsters to show us that they know their roles and can work together well. Lead them on Hibbo.


Looks like Schace and Jordan have been sent to the G. 

Grundy, Hibbo, Spargy, all at Casey, Jeffo on a wing, GRUNDY KEY FORWARD AGAIN

 

AH BIT???? DEESGRACE T.MAC KICKS FIRST

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
