We will all have to wait a week for Casey's next official game due to the fact that the team has another bye this weekend.

In the meantime, a scratch match has been arranged against Sandringham for those interested. If anyone's going, Please keep us apprised.

Otherwise, the next game is at the Mission Whitten Oval on 10 May 2025.

Thanks K.C what time is the game vs Sandy tommorrow?

Assume scratch match is a short 4 x15 minute quarters. No limit on interchange. Has to be played between two like minded clubs being ripped by the AFL at every opportunity.

 

The disrespect that the AFL pays to the VFL is as incredible as it is sad.

Agree with your general criticism of the VFL but my guess is that AFL clubs have requested a bye when they travel to WA.

We have four travelling emergencies together with staff that would have supplemented the VFL side.

Our injury list is not too bad and we could probably have fielded a reasonable team but as the travelling emergencies are your key fringe players have we really lost much?

Of course if it was a bona fide competition my thoughts would be very different.

The scratch match at Casey tomorrow is a closed event, ie. it’s to be played behind locked gates.

No AFL clubs request byes at all to the VFL.

This is all VFL driven.

In this day and age (liability etc) it costs money to open the gates, security, clean the toilets etc.

A pity it's not at Gosch's or another permanently open venue.


Got down there at 11.00 today and there were a handful of spectators in the ground and the gates were ajar. Missed all but the last minutes of the scratch match. The players then had running and some ball work drills. The players there that I picked up were Billings, Adams, Verrall, Campbell, Fullarton, Mentha, Brown, Johnson, Woey, Kentfield, Culley and a few others, Apparently ( according to a trainer) Jeffo copped a knock in the scratch match and was nowhere in sight

It appears that Jack Viney might not be the only mystery injury of the week given that Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin are named as an out and playing in the AFL when they weren’t named as emergencies.

Agree - I thought we left the mysteries behind. Woey and Billings were fit and healthy last time we knew !!

Is Jack a mystery injury? I’m sure it was mentioned on one of the Foxtel Footy shows the other night (last night maybe?) that he was omitted with a concussion.

The same article also mentions that AMW, Sestan and Verrall are being monitored by other clubs as they are all out of contract.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
