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.

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

    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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
