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?

    You could get a Frangaburger but I hear they're a bit rubbery.

    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.

    Unfortunately I think our depth has already been eroded due to off season departures, medical retirement and current injury list.  Not sure there’s currently anyone in the cupboard to bring in for the Tigers game aside from Pickett.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
