Let’s keep the thread on topic folks. No derailments. Footy is nigh.

Don’t forget to buy a snag from @WalkingCivilWar at the Demon Army BBQ to support the cheersquad. 

Mention Demonland to get 0% off. 

Just don't ask for a chicken burger.

I am not too sure how many will be out but the following is my stab at first 18 with what I think are players who have minor injuries or are a bit underdone to play yet left out (see list).

B: McVee May Hore/Tomlinson

HB: Rivers/Brayshaw Lever Bowey

C: Langdon Petracca Billings

HF: ANB Schache Chandler/Tholstrup

F: Pickett* JVR Fritsch

Ru: Gawn Sparrow Viney

Int: Salem (should be managed back to just two quarters), Laurie, Windsor, Spargo

Injured/unavailabe: Oliver, McAdam, Petty, T.Mac, Melky, Hunter, Fullarton, B.Brown, Turner

* Pickett out Rd 1 (susp).

To play final 2 quarters with VFL players - Howes, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall, Sestan, Woewodin, K.Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

And in the absence of injured tall forwards, Schache has to be given first shot at the role of forward/back-up ruck.

We cannot continue to risk JVR getting injured as the back-up ruck - yes I get that he is better qualified to do it, but Schache deserves first shot at it before we try more risky/reward options such as swap out a defender such as May to fix our forward woes.

The other thing we all should remember is that the SCG favours talls - it is shorter than other grounds and you need more marklng options than normal. Hence Schache is required for the season opener and should only miss if he shows absolutely nothing in our two practice games.

I think Oliver may play a quarter or 2 like Salem when the youngsters come on. I think Howes and Woewodin will play with the senior players. I think the First 4 quarters will be seniors' last 3 quarters' will be reserves.

Seniors

B: McVee, May, Lever

HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Bowey

C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon

HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, Schache, Pickett

FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney

IC: Howes, Sparrow, Laurie, Spargo

Chandler, Woewodin, Hore, Tholstrup

 

Reserves

Salem, Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall

Sestan, K. Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

 

Can't wait for the game especially to see how the youngsters go. It's good to have footy back. Go Dees.

Is Hunter still injured ? How many weeks?

He was in the rehab group on a modified running program after Christmas before briefly returning to the main group before returning to the rehab group for the last 2 or 3 weeks. No word on a return date from any official channels.

I understand the benefits of a scratch/practice match, but they make me nervous. A player sustaining an injury during the season proper is one thing, but doing so when there’s not four points on the line is another thing entirely.

It's beginning to feel a bit like footmas.

Yes. Bring it on. it’s been forever.

I use pregame, gameday, and post game threads as my relaxing read. 
Away OS in September so if that is not a reason to see as much as I can during the year.  I don’t know what is.

With 7 periods of play

you can have 2 seperate teams play 3 quarters.  And the middle mixed to give certain players time off or extra time

and you get to see how some youngsters go in strong competition 

well that’s how I see it,

I am making my first trip down to Casey this Sunday. Is there adequate parking if I am a little late for the 10am start time. Might not get there till just after 10.

As this is a substitute for the Family Day will players be available after the game for autographs or at least the players who might not be playing?

Is there any seating available?

Thank you in advance for any answers. Excited to see the Dees play live in the flesh again.

Ok Pingu.... think Australia zoo, meets Wet and Wild,meets Dr.Who, meets Groundhog day, with a touch of the supurnatural, meets Beyond Thunderdome and you end up with CASEY FIELDS! Get the picture? Oh yes Parking? Think VFL park Waverley!

For the literalists out there, I know 7 is an odd number. But, it seems odd as much figuratively as literally. I can't get my head around why there are going to be 7 periods of play.

   

Because Jack Viney said so

And I’m OK with that. But this round zero thing has got me well and truly [censored]!!!!

I just hope they’re not seven regular-length quarters. 😳

Went to put Kayo back on and it’s $35 per month so ended up buying an armchair membership for $250 so works out about $20 per month and I assume will go towards our membership tally, so anyone with Kayo who are paying the $35 cancel it and sign up through the club

It's strange I got a rejoining offer of $15 off a month for 12 months limited time to accept but haven't heard of anyone else on here receiving it.

Thanks for posting that WCW, very informative.

I'm particulalry interested in the Beyond Bank presence as I'm a customer and the only branch they have in Melbourne is in South Melbourne, which is hugely inconvenient. I've been trying to deposit a cheque for three years. Hopefully they'll accept it at the ground. And I'll score a donut too. What a win.

IMHO some of these kiosks are a little bit of a waste of space (Soz sponsors 😬). They might give out badges or pencils or whatever but mostly they don’t appeal to kids. Face painting and the bouncy castle are where it’s at!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
