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.

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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
