There’s a big game coming up for the Casey Demons against Richmond VFL at the Swinburne Centre on Anzac Day Eve.

Possible Casey line up KC or Werridee?

Very small ground for spectators and now that the old stand is no longer even smaller. That being said I wouldn't expect many attendees.

I wonder how many emergencies we'll keep back for the evening

Excited at the possibility of McAdam playing. Listed last week as 1-2 weeks. With this being a Wednesday game, you would think we hold off. Next VFL after that is May 5th so another 11 days for him to get ready.

 

Couple of weeks later and he could get up for the trip to Perth...

Can someone explain to me why this couldn't be a curtain raiser to the main game at the MCG ?

Or at least start this at 3:45 so punters could watch this game on the way to the MCG, or at least a couple of quarters.

Agree. At least say 3pm as the earliest start.

Pretty sure it’s at Punt Road??

i presume they can't have it later at punt road ground because the lighting is not up to afl lighting standards for games and video streaming.

He said he'd be ready for this week two weeks ago.  I took that to mean Anzac eve (but via Casey). 

I'd be very surprised if he isn't in the squad.

That’s an impressive forward line

If he’s passed fit he plays Wed after so long why delay him now?

Why Billings on the ball and Kynan on the wing. If either sectioning the AFL they would ideally be in the positions I have suggested. 

Outfield work has been interesting even underwhelming at times and Kynan looks as good a mid under the three champs plus Sparrow and the cameo kids Kossie Riv and also Salem  when fit. 

I bet when he gets his chance he won’t give it up without an almighty fight. 

But that’s the trick how does he get his chance?

I have Billings on the ball and Kynan on the wing because Billings is more experienced Brown needs to build up before I put him on the ball. I could have put Sestan on the ball and Kynan or Billings on a flank but decided against it.

In the VFL that’s  where experience is gained. What a ridiculous reason. The more Kynan gets of playing on the ball the better he will get and be ready for AFL. 

Crazy selection and I know VFL can make some moves but it’s there for discovering senior AFL players fgs.

Kynan is unlucky and really deserves an opportunity as he has done well considering byes and lack of opportunities. Need to fast track him like Windsor.

Interestingly KFW 'managed'. Code for dropped. Needs to go back to suburban football for some time to see if he's actually got anything.  Unfortunately for him, and us, I strongly doubt that he has.

Jack Bell listed in the emergencies. Could definitely come in and do a job in the ruck if required.

Am I correct in assuming one of Tholstrup, Brown or Hore will be held over for tonight's game?

All three will be held over!

Any relation?

Whatever happened to Bell?  Had a reasonable season in 2021.  Stepped things up at times in 22 and a flag.

2023 unsighted from what i recall and now sits on the emergency list?

Is the game on Kayo, or just the crappy afl app?
