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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?
