The Dees will face the Pies in the Qualifying Final at the MCG with the winner playing at Home in the Preliminary Final. All eyes will be on the Medical Room as Jake Melksham was subbed out of the match with what looked like a serious knee injury and both Bayley Fritsch and Jake Bowey came from the ground at time with what looked like serious complaints but then both returned. Tom McDonald kicked 5 goals and Brodie Grundy 3 in Casey's massive 101 point win over North Melbourne in the VFL Wildcard Final.

Who comes in and who goes out?

    Other than the colour of your shorts, are there any advantages to the ‘home’ team when it’s a home ground to both of them..?

    Do Collingwood get a higher ticketing allowance?

    The colour of your jumper? We'll have to don the royal blue if recent encounters is anything to go by, even though there really is no clash at all

    Out: Melksham (if injured) 
    in: TMac

    Hibberd for Bowey potentially?

     

    Sadly I think it will be melksham out and we will bring tmac in.

    Hibberd must be a chance, how’d he go today?

    It’s too early. I’m off to toast our top 4 finish.

    I think he's still in concussion protocol?

    Do Casey play next week.

    Yes... against Bulldogs

    Will be interesting to see if we play TMac, Tomlinson and Laurie in that match. After the Fritsch scare they won't dare play him

    Spargo's game at Casey was just okay. Jordon was arguably BOG

    Good to get another look at Grundy. Didn't watch the match but he went ok from what Ive heard.

    When are tickets on sale?

    Especially first half I felt the fwds had no leading patterns. Can’t remember how many kicks were squeezed down the pocket because there wasn’t anything decent and Smith and JVR weren’t providing much presence. T-Mac has got to come in, and I think smith would have been the man out before melkshams knee.  
     

    I liked turners game, so hope he sticks around, though hibberd would be an upgrade. Wait and see around Bowie obviously. 
     


    IN: T Mac, Hibbo

    OUT: Melk, Disco

    I don't think they'll play Tomlinson

    Absolutely no way Hibbo is coming back into the team lol

    Gutted for melksham that looked really bad

    TMac in smithy supersub, ?
    don’t think turner did enough to stay in so hibbo a good chance

    An absolute master class that included taps to players, taking the ball from the ruck, groundball follow up and of course 3 goals

    Players are kicking down the door at Casey but so few slots available.

    Hibberd is a Grunt perfect for finals but so is Tmac and Grundy.

    No room unless Melksham is injured.

    Goodwin will stick with the plan. Hes done it all season.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
