Casey have been disappointing of late. They were 41 point losers to Southport on Saturday morning but they should beat bottom of the ladder Northern Bullants.

Surely?

Here's a possible team:-

B: Smith, Adams, Howes

HB: Sestan, Kentfield, Bonner

C: Woewodin, Laurie, Sharp

HF: Brown, van Rooyen, Henderson

F: Fullerton, Jefferson, Spargo

FOLL: Campbell, Culley, Tholstrup

IC: Billings, Mentha, Verrall, Hardie, Craven

    Yes I've kept Johnson in for ruck relief. Lever and Viney have to come in.

    Just confirming that this is actually round 9, and that there is not another ridiculous bye on the horizon.

    The game is being played in Preston at 2:05pm on Saturday 24 May.

    Might drop in if it's a nice day.

    In these days of electronic memberships how do I prove my away membership for the "big" discount

    Thanks

    Mouthguards in at Casey training tonight

    Seriously though, the team played boring footy and needs to learn about quick ball movement and scoring strategy. The 3rd quarter v Southport was a horror show of wasted opportunities and poor decisions. Need to see a huge response this week and a 10+ goal victory is the prediction.

    Assuming Lever is match fit. He was on managed minutes against Southport, does he have a full game at VFL level to make sure he is match ready for Collingwood in a few weeks?

    Combine the VFL with a pre match lunch at Preston market or at one of the many great Asian eateries in nearby High Street. Yum Cha at the Golden Leaf is top notch as is the various choices of pho and roast ducks that adorn the restaurant windows. The market offers a wide choice including gozleme and other Eastern delights.

    The ground itself has lost any form of old world charm so it's hard to picture the days when Preston was an absolute powerhouse in the VFA.

    Free parking at the market but being a Saturday it can be hard to find. Always parking at the back of Preston Library from which it's only a few minutes walk.

    If Casey can’t win with this team, they’re in deep trouble.

    Can the club call it properly !!!

    He wasn't rested or managed. If that was the case, he wouldn't have been named in the team on Thursday (see Melksham 2 weeks back).

    He was omitted.

    Replace Sharp with Cross and the 23rd man who I thought would be Craven but it's Sruk you have the team I've predicted. Hope Roo has a big day hopefully it will give him much needed confidence.

    Probably true. Why are some getting worked up about the club just saying 'omitted'. I doubt if TMac is weeping over his museli thinking that some supporters might think he is being dropped for lack of form. He knows what's what and so does the club.

    Agreed. This is a complete non event for the key stakeholders.

    • 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.
