CASEY: Rd 15 vs Brisbane Lions

[KC from Casey 7,063]

The Brisbane Lions are one game off top spot, the Casey Demons are languishing in the bottom third of the ladder but the possible increase in available AFL-listed Demons should make this game more interesting than appears to be the case.

My question for the week to the people who put together the VFL fixture is why it didn't happen last week when Melbourne played in Brisbane?

Farris-White gets another gig! It'll be interesting to see how he's progressed after a decent stint at the lower level.

[DubDee 25,822]

Thanks KC. appreciate you keeping us informed

Thats maybe the best Casey team for the year

Great to see Hore back. Quality defender. So unlucky he was injured while lever was out

Hardly decent  stint about 6/8 games needs a season or two or 3 really! 

[Nascent 9,212]

Fullarton and Tomlinson to be carry over emergencies it looks like.

I’m not sure that he played even that many because it was reported he was injured. Hopefully, he’s learned something about ruck craft.

[DEE fence 5,007]

I was quite intrigued by how many top 8 AFL side's counterparts in the VFL are languishing in the bottom half of the VFL ladder, Swans, Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood. Made me think the cupboard is a bit bare elsewhere as well. In 21-23 when we were red hot, no doubt, Casey was firing, just a reminder grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, and maybe we are not so far away.

Not that I've seen. If he can't leap at the ball, he has no plan B.

Great question.  The lack of liaison means both competitions suffer, especially the novelly named VFL.  Hold over emergencies miss weeks of football development because the AFL and the VFL just don’t seem to care.

Won’t look quite so good when a couple of holdover emergencies don’t play because they are stuck in Melbourne. Like some were stuck in Brisbane last week, or maybe played after a rushed late flight from Brisbane 

[old dee 23,787]

Today shows how poor this competition is. Last week seniors played lions in Qld. 2- 3 players as emergencies did not get a chance to play. This week the reverse again 2-3 players will not play this weekend. Why weren't the games on the same weekend?

i personally have father john misty's "live in hamburg" playing while watching

jefferson mirrors schache's opener with a mark in the pack and a straightforward set shot goal

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Josh Schache goals and then Matt Jefferson makes it two goals for Casey. They lead 2.0.12 to 0.1.1.
