    Bummer. I'll be out in Coburg tomorrow morning. Pity it's being played out in Terra Nullius.

    Spargo returns. Billings and Adams the travelling emergencies.

    Looking forward to seeing how Kentfield goes without JvR next to him.

    I have always wondered why the Casey Demon logo looks so unnecessarily amateurish. Taking into account that they are second tier compared to the MFC but that logo looks like it was made by some kid in Year 8, circa 2005

    Casey by 8 goals. Bonner to have 35 possessions. Campbell to have 52 hitouts. Spargo to kick 5 goals and have 32 possessions against the VFL level part timers. Surely Kentfield kicks at least 4 goals this week.

    Coburg have been traditional wooden spooners in the VFL often with zero wins or thereabouts for the season.

    This year is different with six wins and only one spot behind us.

    With our travelling AFL emergencies not available could be a tough match

    With Lever’s levitation, Marty’s season ending injury and Adam’s Adelaide adventure. The defence cupboard is looking slightly Xposed. Although a refresh with Bryce, Freeman and Lual is a positive given last week’s struggles in Qld.

    Paddy Cross is a welcome return up forward, knows where the goal posts are. What was equally perplexing last week with Will Verrall’s limited time on field, was Taj Woewodin’s extended time on the pine.

    Anything could happen in this match. They’ve been pretty active recruiting – though not as active as Casey. They are missing Keogh in ruck but have replaced him with Furphy from Geelong, who has very little impact around the ground. Gentile usually has a big game against us. It would be nice if somebody could stop that – Baldi? Woey??

    Bytel, Gentile and Allison up forward are quality players. Baldi tagging Gentile is the most obvious coaching move of the week.

    It will never happen

    FYI @paul Amy reports

    Worth noting that Casey Demons talent Roy George has made a mid-season move in the VFL, joining the busy Port Melbourne.

    I wonder if that is because we put a line through his name at Casey or something else.

    I really thought he had some tricks.

    Windsor playing the guts and looks to have some urgency about his game today.

    Big Tom Campbell dominating in the ruck.

    Pup Brown busy. Spargo one handed hand pass. Free to Coburg.

    Windsor Culley Mentha buzzing around the packs.

    Will Verrall some good touches and a mark in defence.

    Caleb Windsor snap misses major entry.

    Hardie with Casey’s second after a horrible turnover by Coburg.

    I mean this in a less narky way than it sounds, genuine question.

    What are Ricky Mentha’s strengths supposed to be? Cos he’s been done for pace a couple of times already and whenever I’ve watched him appears to be an iffy kick…

    The umpiring standard at VFL is disgusting. Four free kicks to Coburg when the player clearly leads with their head.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
