We play Norf and I don't like our chances after losing to cellar dwellers Coburg.

Possible Line up

B: Smith, Adams, Bonner
HB: Sestan, Hore, Mentha
C: Billings, Laurie, Woewodin
HF: Spargo, Fullerton, Brown
F: George, Melksham, Cross
FOLL: Campbell, Hardie, Baldi
IC: Verrall, Edwards, Freeman, Doultree, Yze

    You wonder who sets this fixture.

    An 11am start at Arden Street would have been a great prelude to the Docklands match but no we're at Casey

    Will be interesting to see how Spargo goes after such a long time out

    Yes it was but it was still to a bottom on the ladder side.

    There's no ladder yet, so we don't know if that's the case.

    Let's wait until the season starts before the doom sets in...

    Wardell Lual surely gets the nod off HB?

    Melksham not available for selection yet according to the injury report - still in rehab at training. No Campbell in your team, or do you reckon he is playing in the seniors this week?

    Didn't see him at training this afternoon.

    I think Campbell will play in the seniors and Howes dropped. Campbell and Turner in Howes and Johnson out. Howes may get a reprieve if Windsor isn't fit enough.

    Saw that Melksham wasn't ready will have to change my side.

    B: Howes, Adams, Bonner

    HB: Sestan, Hore, Lual

    The forward line is pretty ordinary.

    I'll make my way down to Casey for this clash. Keen to see how Sestan goes off half back.

    Last chance saloon surely after being trialled forward & through the middle.

    I reckon he's on the cusp but just doesn't (so far) have the wheels to take the step up to AFL.

    If he can find that he just might make it.  Generally uses the ball well, hits targets (at this level) and loves a goal when up forward. 

    Disappointed when he got moved away from his forward role as i thought he was (very slowly and somewhat inconsistently) finding something when playing there.

    Heading down as well with a keen interest to see how Melk, Spargo, Browny, Campbell, Sesto, Hore, Mentha, Fullo and the Boy wonder fair.

    Just out of curiosity KC and Demonland did we recruit any tall timber in the off season apart from TJ at Casey or is TC and Will Verrall all we have as ruck stock??

    Yeah, he played well against the Lions. 
    Overall we played well and were very unlucky to lose from the ball out the back in the last quarter.

    Drove me crazy by coming off his man and watching them take/drop marks while he crumbs at the front - 3 + times 🤯 

    And he didn’t even get the crumbs

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
