The VFL is going into recess for one week to allow the representative game against the SANFL as part of Gather Round. The game will be played at Glenelg. Three Casey players were picked to play in the initial 50 man squad, Campbell Hustwaite, Roan Steele and Mitch While. It’s not yet known whether any of that trio have been selected in the final team.

And here we are 48 hours before the game and the AFL still don't seem to have released the team !

SA team is out for some time.

Two Casey Demons have made the final squad - Campbell Hustwaite and Mitch White.

VFL finalises team for SANFL representative clash

This starts soon. Can't see if it's broadcast anywhere.  I suspect Dees may have a look for a possible ruck support and/or further consideration of Campbell Hustwaite for the mid season draft.

Found it!

Strange that players from Southport etc are in the Victorian Football League team.

Quarter Time VFL is leading 3.2.20 to SANFL 1.1.7. Hustwaite (#26) and White (#27) have been getting some good touches.

Half Time: VFL 5.4.34 just in front of SANFL 5.2.32 in an entertaining game. 

 

SANFL’s bigger forwards took control in that quarter to take a handy 17-point lead into the final break. SA 8.4.52 to Vic’s 5.5.35.

Final Score: SANFL 10.5.65 defeated VFL 7.9.51.

Well done to the Casey Demons representatives -

I find it weird that most of the VFL players are forced to have a bye( early in the footy fixture ) in order to entertain a state reserves match. Wanabe players want a chance to prove their worth and hopefully get a chance to play seniors. As a supporter of AFL/VFL football I am bitterly disappointed I couldn't attend the footy this weekend. 

I know Wanabe is not a real word unless we are stuck in the matrix.
