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?

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

Agree, Spargo overated by Goodwin and co, Sharp missed 2 easy goals

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.

  • Demonland changed the title to CASEY: Rd 09 vs Northern Bullants

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.

T-mac not named at Casey.

Assuming no late change for the seniors he will indeed be getting a rest this weekend.

I’m thinking it’s going to be an avalanche of goals and a mighty win for Casey, comeon boys you are overdue, zfullarton, Rooey and Matty Jefferson are all due for a bag. We need a percentage booster.👍😁

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.

And not playing at Casey. That’s managed.

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.

 

Being a Northern lad I might head down for a look, decent VFL team on paper... What's the damage for a VFL game?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
