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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
