CASEY: Rd 03 vs Port Melbourne



Recommended Posts

The Casey Demons played with a lot more energy in their second outing for the year than in the first so it’s fitting therefore that they travel next to Kinetic Stadium, Frankston to play an away game against fellow cellar dwellers Port Melbourne.

These teams have almost identical them songs and therefore, it isn’t hard to figure out the tune you will hear blaring out of Kinetic’s loudspeakers at the end of the contest.

Methinks, conditions are ripe for a drawn match.

Yes … that’s correct. According to the VFL site, it’s Port Melbourne at Kinetic Stadium which is almost in the heart of Frankston. Presumably, the Port ground is being repaired or in use for some rap concert.

Does this rule out the possibility of getting a Burraburger at the game?

Selection will be interesting this week and obviously revolves firstly, around whether Kozzy is rubbed out by the tribunal tonight. 

This is the list of players from Casey’s last game -

Jed Adams, Kynan Brown, Leo Connolly, Paddy Cross, Tyler Edwards, Kyah Farris-White, Tom Freeman, Tom Fullarton, Max Gregory, Campbell Husthwaite, Matt Jefferson, Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Ned Moodie, Charlie Peters, Josh Schache, Ollie Sestan, Tom Sheridan, Roan Steele, Mitch Szybkowski, Koltyn Tholstrup, Ziggy Toledo, Will Verrall, Mitch White

Bailey Laurie and Adam Tomlinson were sent to Adelaide to act as holdovers for the Port Adelaide game. Also since then, Lachie Hunter and Daniel Turner have been declared fit. Casey should therefore have a better side than last time they played which is encouraging.

A pity as it's probably my favourite VFA ground complete with giant dim sims and the famous Burra Burger'

The sausage sizzle at Frankston was nice on my last visit

Well at least, finally, this absolute joke of an AFL "support development competition" will get some games played.

Laurie is probably the one who has a chance. I'm not seeing AMW making it but he could surprise.

Hunter is another but he needs a few games is my guess.

A pity the VFL team has a bye next week given they've just had one

Jefferson could break Fred Fannings record and still wouldn't be picked the next week.

Honestly so could Schache.

Based on the above and the club's published injury list these are the AFL listed players we can expect to see tomorrow.

Jed Adams, Kynan Brown, Kyah Farris-White, Tom Fullarton, Lachie Hunter, Matt Jefferson, Bailey Laurie, Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Josh Schache, Ollie Sestan, Adam Tomlinson, Daniel Turner and Will Verrall.

However, based on some of the training reports, one or two of the above might not play.

Magician??   If you are referring to Jefferson surely he needs a lot more VFL time.

I will be most interested in AMW - is he a possible HBF?  Though that would leave a very inexperienced small medium defence unit.

May wander down Picket. He's the one who may surprise a few. Van Rooyen has been incredibly disappointing for mine. I tend to be glass half full, but JVR now has the worst hands since old Richmond ruckman Mark Lee (if anyone remembers him)

"Coach, I don't need to play midfield minutes today, put me at half back" - Hunter, Seaston, Laurie and Brown say in unison while AMW pencils his name in there.....

Yep, we are not batting experienced this year at Casey, but there is a lot of young talent. We still have enough good players to be winning games in the 1s and the 2s are just going to struggle sadly.

I'll have a carnation between my teeth, a velvet jacket not dissimilar to that worn by Graham Teasdale and a cheese board. Mt Eliza local so will prop in front of the old stand if I rock up.

The cupboards empty, merely recycling battlers at this stage.

Seven of those at Casey have played AFL, and we have another five in the AFL that could easily join them.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
