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.

Ok so I look out for Groucho Marx then ?🤣

State representative Campbell Hustwaite who played well for the VFL team last weekend is out with a stress fracture of the foot.

Massive blow to Campbell Hustwaite and the Casey Demons. That stress fracture threatens to keep him out for several months. A former captain of the Collingwood VFL side, Hustwaite just missed out on getting drafted in thr SSP after training pre season with the Magpie seniors. This new setback will make it hard for him to be drafted in the midseason draft. He was one of Casey’s better players in its opening matches.

Is this game available on any TV station?

No. This week's game on tv is carlton Collingwood. However, if you are not aware, all VFL games are broadcast on the AFL website.

Great , thanks! I’d forgotten about that.

Mid field looking decidely thin without Hustwaite.

If we get anywhere near Port (within about 3 goals or so) or perhaps win, that will be an excellent result i reckon.

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

What a laughable competition.

QT: Port Melbourne 4.2.26 lead Casey Demons 2.4.16

Goals Brown Sestan

Disposals Fullarton Verrall 7 Laurie Steele 6

Verrall has 13 hit outs to with the 7 touches.

Edited by KC from Casey

Verrall, Turner, Laurie playing well with Fullarton getting a bit of it as well. K Brown had a couple nice moments including a roving goal. AMW ok so far but some indiscriminate long bombs.  Hunter not overly involved and perhaps a bit rusty. Schache and Jefferson sometimes getting in each other's way. Good to see schache back on the ground though after he looked to injury his shoulder early on.


We need Fullarton to get some form to come in for Brown and let JVR concentrate on kicking goals 

Verrall the highlight so far. Winning the taps and getting involved around the ground.

Kynan Brown with some flashes.

All 3 key defenders haven’t been good, although some signs from Disco, see how he is in a couple of weeks with some touch.

Not impressed by the lack of leadership and vibes. By some miracle big KFW took a mark 20m out directly in front and no one got to him to steady him for the shot and he subsequently hit the post.

High rise behind the clubhouse sign of ‘relaxation’ of government planning decisions. Gold Coast on the Bay looming?

So far he’s a big crumber. Schache a big flanker. I’d pick Verrall for 40% game time over either.

But I also think JVR rucking is the best thing for him. He’d go stone cold playing forward

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
