Casey’s opponent this week is North Melbourne VFL which, like the Demons, had no trouble in dispensing with Collingwood at their last outing.

Casey needs to keep winning if it is to fall into a top 10 placing and play finals. They have to reproduce the form they displayed against Collingwood.

Brown, Schache, Jefferson, Fullarton and Kentfield all most likely playing. Someone surely goes to the backline.

Looking forward to see Kentfield again..

 

Fullarton perhaps going to be held over as an emergency.

Would like to see Schache go back where he's played before at the bulldogs. Leaves us with Brown, Jefferson and Kentfield forward with Brown used sparingly as a ruck chop out.

Edit: ignore above, brain isn't braining today

If we hold him over how is he meant to work his way into the side?

very frustrating the vfl fixturing

Should be able to make it to Casey by Sunday...

Beat me to it @rjay, Casey game is the day after AFL game, so holdover will be available to play (barring disaster and the need for them to play full game in the ones!).

I presume you mean that the loss of one of the named 23 would be the disaster, not Fullarton getting a game in the ones? He's not that bad, is he? 

😉

We should have a reasonable contingent of listed MFC players available:

Billings, Laurie, Schache, Jefferson, McAdam, Adams, Verrall, Fullarton, Sestan, Woewodin, AMW, B.Brown and maybe the MFC sub depending on how musch AFL game time they get.


We patiently await team selection: 

‘Clark’ Kentfield must out looking for a telephone box.

Ben Brown injured? Hadn't heard this through the MFC website.

Played significant ruck minutes last match.  Looks like that experiment went well.

Could be just a malicious rumour, but I did hear somewhere that his knees are not quite 100% 🤫

For the regular Casey watchers, how is Jed Adams tracking?

Good size, plays every week, but we don't hear much. Just wondering if there's signs we have someone who could potentially do a decent job in May's role in a few years.

i hear we will wait until he plays 10 very good games down back and then move him fwd for 5 years to see if that works

TMac, Hogan, Naughton, May have all played back and forward in there time. 
 

You are probably right Dub.

Has the odd decent game but generally had shown little to suggest he will make the grade. About on par with the solid Casey listed players.

 

The reserves and VFL are a joke, why does a club need 4 byes per season only one is needed since there are 21 teams. The match against Collingwood reserves wasn't selected until the day we played them because our senior side was playing on the following monday. Does the club want a reserves side ?

Harsh but fair.

Casey are now playing the fast corridor game and more often than not one handball too many. The most powerful weapon these days is the 30 metre kick at a 45 degree angle to a free running player. Unfortunately because we push up so high there is rarely a player to take advantage of the counterattack

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
