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.

Thanks

The 7th team plays 10th and 8th plays 9th in the wildcard games with the winners going through to the elimination finals.

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.
