CASEY: Rd 08 vs Brisbane

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Two teams performing well below last year’s levels meet at Casey. The Demons will be depleted but could sure use a full squad to play out a game.

A bye would have been more sensible if this joke of a competition was better organised.

Stupid fixture given that Lions AFL team are playing in Brisbane on Saturday night so they'll be keeping back players as well.

Should be Brisbane v Richmond on Sunday morning

[kieranbj 111]

How many afl listed players do we think Casey will have?  Might just be a handful. With all the night games we have been playing my little man hasn’t been able to see his Demons for over a month. I might make the trek out for this one.

Roy George ??? He looked good and added some excitement to the forward structure. Anyone know why he’s only had a one game cameo ??? 

[spirit of norm smith 16,271]

Connolly?? Hustwaite??? Both missing over the past few weeks. Any injury updates??? Both were in the best players in the first 3 weeks but absent over the last 3 games.

Still a better timeslot that scheduling AFLW at 5pm on a Friday night in Frankston.

 

Tbh I actually don't mind this timeslot as a viewer, it's a good time to put on tv around while doing things around the house on a Saturday, assuming it's being broadcast.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,111]

Brisbane look similarly depleted. A great opportunity for our kids to play a more central role.  

[Tarax Club 3,884]

Debutants from today’s game include two teenagers and if the information is correct a 32 year old for the cuddly bears. Kobe Shipp a Stingrays products stands at 188 cm. Weight ?  Sight unseen beanpole or behomoth?  For his personal well-being he won’t be a bantamweight. So assuming he has athletic capabilities we’ll place him in the upper light heavyweight division. Subject to conformation of course. Good luck Kobe!

It does seem weird considering his one game impact. Surely this is not a park him til the MSD move?

[COOLX 207]

Good to see Jefferson starting position as FF. However he must get involved in the play early and rack up possessions. Sestan is another one who needs to prove his worth.

What do we really know about him and his goals?  Does he actually want to play AFL?

Is he VFL listed or was he one of the "invitee" players

PS Perhaps time to get rid off the umpire bounce as few are any good

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Sestan showing out early with first goal. Casey lead 8 - 7.

[adonski 11,783]

Big Jeffer

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Ollie now has 2, Jeffo the other. 20 - 7.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Brown shows a lot of poise. 

[adonski 11,783]

I repeat, the big JEFFER!
