CASEY: Rd 20 vs Brisbane Lions

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Having locked in at least a Wild Card appearance at the end of the VFL home and away series, it's time for Casey to show what it's made of against two other finalists before the business end of the season.

The Lions away this week followed by top team Box Hill beyond that presents Casey with a major challenge.

It won't be easy but it will be good preparation for the players.

    I think we're about to find out if we're finals worthy or not.

    Thanks KC let’s hope they continue playing like our last couple of games, also hope they don’t have to fly in and out on the same day that would be pretty tough.

    Not necessarily wishing to get ahead of the cliche ‘one week at a time’. But how many of the AFL listed players who have played for Casey will be eligible to play finals?

    The younger brigade Adams, Brown, Kentfield, Mentha, Sestan, Verrall, Woewodin, plus older heads Billings, Campbell, Culley, Fullerton, Laurie would you’d (depending on fitness) think be most likely included.

    Henderson, Howes, Jefferson, Johnson, Spargo, Tholstrup, Howes may or may not meet the selection criteria?

    Some of the younger VFL listed guys Mitch Kirkwood Scott, Tyson Sruk and Paddy Cross are worthy inclusions but would get the nod after who’s in and out from the AFL squad members.

    Rule is no more than 12 AFL games and no less than 6 VFL games for the season.

    So everyone at the moment is eligible you mentioned but Spargo has played 10 and if plays last 3 in AFL then he is the only one who could be ineligible.

    Would rather have someone like Paddy Cross deserving of a finals game than Spargo. At least he kicks goals and would be part of the Casey team.

    Charlie won't be getting at least the next AFL game.

    Maybe a finals team like this:

    B: Smith, Adams, Sestan

    HB: Bonner, Fullerton, Howes

    C: Billings, Laurie, Culley

    HF: Tholstrup, Johnson, Henderson

    F: Spargo, Kentfield, Jefferson

    FOLL: Campbell, Woewodin, Hardie

    IC: Verrall, Brown, Mentha, Cross, 23rd player

    Is Sharp eligible?

    Pretty sure that Sharp has played more than 12 AFL games.

    Just realised that Lindsay isn’t named for Casey. That's two weeks now of no games at either level for him. Management after a long year or perhaps an injury concern? No mention of him in this week's injury report.

    Probably shut him down for the year, not a bad call if so. He had a very good year considering he barely had a pre season

    Not a bad idea. Kids important for our future and he's had a big year, particularly off a limited pre-season. Can't play Casey finals so getting him right for day 1 pre-season with no niggles should be a priority.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
