The game is being played on Saturday night at 7.10pm at Mission Whitten Oval in Barkly Street, Footscray ... of course.

Casey up for the challenge? After a couple of confidence buildings wins in recent rounds.

MagPIES seem to be traveling better than Casey overall.

Ooops it's Collingwood nepo babies of the competition!

WTF This Smithys VFL is doing my head in .What a absolute disgrace playing at Footscray 🤮

If it stays dry I may well head down. The ground looks lovely these days and the surface is good too. Dead easy to get to on public transport. Hopefully there isn't a howling gale to the southern end.

Just checked. Another bloody weekend with rail replacement buses. For anyone coming from town it's easier to get off at Footscray and walk. 25 minutes on foot or 1 hour 25 minutes if you stop in at the Victoria Hotel.

Looks like it might be a bit wet. But the surface is good, like all the ovals these days. It should be a good test for Casey. I still think that they can win by 10+ goals against pretty much anyone if they don’t turn the bloody thing over. So keep watch for overuse of handball in the rain.

I was def going and really looking forward to it (i live in the Southwest, so it's practically a home game) - but i just realised i have to wash my hair.

Thought this was a day match at Victoria Park which weather permitting could have been pleasant to attend.

Would have liked Port Melbourne oval as well but count me out for Saturday night next to the old Geelong Rd flyover

Sure are Dazzle with AJ and Laurie out that we know of and Culley, Howes, Jefferson, Tholstrup and JvR AFL listed, must want these boys to be part of our biggest game of the year in some aspect.

Noah was selected to play for the Oakleigh Chargers against the Sandringham Dragons in tonight’s Coates Talent League game.

So happy for Marty. Fingers crossed he can have an injury-free run.

Makes sense then.

Why have so many players been withdrawn but only Laurie has been dropped? Some injuries to be announced? Or just cover with emergencies?

Why keep Jeffo as emergency when building impressive form at Case?? Surely keep playing him there rather than miss a game as emergency... MADNESS if correct! HOWES has been Ok but Jeffo in WHITE HOT FORM!

I do agree but as AJ is out, probably I thought JVR in as forward and 2nd ruck will be the inclusion. Laurie goes out.

Have to consider Casey players form over past 2 games was played v Bullants & Swans in last 2 weeks as 20th and 21st places teams in VFL !!

Shall be watching the debut of young tyro goal scorer from Buln Buln, (Patrick Ireland 192cm 92kg) with interest this evening.

The actual Casey team usually differs from that selected, and shown here. Initially the MFC side will list 8 on the extended bench (tonight), and then three will become emergencies, some or all of whom will play on Saturday night - perhaps one completely rested (or limited minutes) as the carryover emergency for Monday.

What is the correct pronunciation of Baldi?

1. As in bald - no hair?

2. Baldee - bal as in balcony .?
