That would be 17 AFL listed players! The Sunday game means Casey should not lose any AFL listed due to carryover emergencies (and a Sunday AFL match next week). Surely we smash a decimated Carlton outfit....

Anyone else think we should have taken Adelaide's offer a year or so ago??

You'd reckon the Doggies would be keen too

Paul Amy reports

Jack Ferraro also to make a VFL debut, for Casey Demons, filling the 23rd player slot. He's kicked 24 goals from 12 games for Dingley this season in the Southern league

15 v 10 AFL listed players - they have 2 former AFL players and so do we.

Note Fullerton named in the backline

Interesting to see Jack Ferraro get a call up to Casey. He spent the last few years at St Bedes-Mentone Tigers, which was where Kyah Farris-White played last year.

It just goes to show that you never know who is watching and where the next opportunity might come from.

Squeezed out of the forward line with the inclusion of Harrison Petty and Aiden Johnson. Add Luker Kentfield there’s a couple of potential CHB’s named up forward.

Meanwhile at the match committee meeting events have moved beyond ‘we have a cunning plan’.

How does he go?

Ummmm…… Yep

Not unhappy if Petty plays CHF or FF , Kentfield gets to play in an important position, hopefully he can kick a bag of goals. Also playing Fullarton in defence is not a bad idea as he needs to prove himself.

Strange as it may seem, that’s the first time this season when Casey has been in the position where it isn’t losing any players as carry over emergencies meaning that no players are forced to have their seasons disrupted by a week off, a situation which is already aggravated by the number of byes in the fixture. The disadvantage in losing a couple of AFL listed players can be crucial and it’s worth noting that Casey have lost a couple of close games this year.

Casey doesn’t even have that advantage over the opposition because Carlton are in the same boat as us this weekend. We should win anyway but it would be good if the draw worked to our advantage for once.

Massive chance for Adams to play a blinder and throw his name up to replace May next week.

Positives? The Sun still rose this morning and Casey Demons are about to play. Player watch? Ricky Mentha and Big Luker. Paddy Cross returns.

 

Fullarton playing as a backman is an interesting move. Gave away an early dubious free.

    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?
