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.

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
