The Casey Demons have a bye and then take on the Giants at home next week and should have a strong side with some good players coming back in from injury.

    Hoping Jai Culley plays a full game and gets over 20 possessions and kicks a goal or two.

    If he wants to take his chances to play AFL again he needs to make the selectors take notice.

    Assuming we don't make many changes to the senior team next week, Casey is going to look incredibly strong.

    Forward line of Fullarton, Turner and Jefferson. Tholstrup back for a mid/fwd role and perhaps McVee to get minutes as well if not immediately put into the seniors.

    Tholstrup and McVee will make their way into the seniors fairly quickly I would think.

    Need to give McVee and Throlstrup a run for Casey next weekend. Both should be ready to play. Not sure about Kentfield. I think he also will be available.

    Hopefully Casey also gets to add Spargo to the team next week.

    Jefferson and Turner in out side reminds me of how we messed up Fidges career. He starred on the full back of the century in a reserves final but never made his mark. With big forwards unless you are a freak you need to give them a lot of support and backing to build their confidence.

    Good luck to Riley Bonner, our only rep in the VFL State Side to play SA as part of the Gather Round.

    Casey lost two of its prime recruits at this equivalent time last year so, fingers crossed 😀

    The VFL had a week due to the state game. The week before we played Geelong and lost the best players were Laurie, Fullerton and Johnson.

    I did post to drop van Rooyen but after Goodwin's presser he is still backing his players so van Rooyen will stay in the seniors but I think Sharp and Henderson will be dropped for McVee and Fullerton.

    Possible line up

    B: Smith, Adams, Bonner

    HB: Howes, Turner, Sestan

    C: Billings, Laurie, Woewodin

    HF: Sharp, Johnson, Henderson

    F: Mentha, Jefferson, Kentfield

    FOLL: Verrall, Tholstrup, Culley

    IC: Hardie, Baldi, Brown, Cross, Yze

    Why can't they just roll-in some filler players and keep going during the state game week? It's mad that the AFL teams propping the competition up lose a week of player development for semi-professional State Of Origin.

    Will be a very strong Casey forward line.

    Also looking forward to seeing Leek Aleer, Wade Derkson, James Leake and Phoenix Gothard from the Giants.

    Except the emergencies Fritsch, Howes, Henderson will need to be at the G?

    That would be the strongest team that we have fielded at Casey for some time.

    Got to the right places and some good intercepts / defensive work against the Cats but alot of work ahead for Howes with ball in hand for mine.

    Far from convincing.

    As previously iterated I'll be going to watch the CASEY Game and for once won't have to endure the outside the fence presence with slitheras. I'll update when I can. Then home to watch the main game!

    Unavailable. Campbell, Hore, Lever - injured.

    MFC emergencies. Howes. Henderson. (May and Pickett having fitness tests)

    Casey crew. (8) Bonner, Hardie, Smith, Baldi, Windsor, Cross, George & Kirkwood-Scott. Edwards out injured is a blow.

    Good to see Dees persist with Kirkwood-Scott. He has elite footskills and one youngster who might be handy to consider at years end.

    Roy George. Let’s see what he can do excite the Casey faithful.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
