Yes 16 AFL listed and Yze possibly on the bench.

Not wishing to overcook the egg here.

Some solid ins trust they’re ready to fire.

This is a cut throat final no tomorrow land for the losers.

Noah Yze that last game he played for Casey at Whitten Oval was dynamic. His recovery appears to be first rate after a late season hamstring injury. There’s an AFL footballer in there somewhere.

Spargo made it 👏

Looking forward to being there. Proper game of footy!

They used to be called the Springvale Scorpions but they played a famous grand final against Williamstown 35 years ago.

Not the omen we'd be looking for!

I was there that day, having lived within walking distance of Princes Park at the time.

Williamstown's Billy Swan (father of Dane) kicked the late winning goal from about 50 metres out, having never previously kicked over a jam tin.

...and, according to the commentary, the last kick of his career!

Barry Round, eh? A storied and admired ruckman and character to match our Max over their respective journeys?

Any update on Jeffo's injury KC?

Out for the remainder of the season as per the team selection thread above.

I have an engagement tomorrow so I won't be able to post regularly on this thread. Will sneak away as often as I can without making it obvious to catch the game and post scores but I'm sure the regular Casey watchers will fill in :)

Not sure if mentioned earlier, but 7 Mate have the game on live tomorrow.

Why not

The one player who needed something like a finals series to perhaps take that next step.

This season is such fun... and due to injuries we can barely put an AFLW team on the park

Good side on paper. Made 2 mistakes not putting in Hardie and Smith. Looking forward to Culley and Howes tearing them apart.

W’DEE you must either receive the phantom edition out there or check your Specsavers a/c. Both named in WJ’s teamsheet.

Admittedly Mitch Hardie’s recent form has been more subliminal than stellar, still a very solid contributor. Deakin Smith after a patchy start to the season is now playing some very consistent football too at half back.

Difficult to keep the ebullience meter in check for this one. After all, who said ‘finals is the start of a new season?’

I made 2 mistakes on my predicted team. Not the team list I know they are playing.

...just got back on the conveyor belt 😁

My ebullience meter is jammed on ‘High’ for this one. I’ve only seen Casey live three or four times this season and they’ve all been losses. Vs Box Hill two weeks ago was the first win. They’re so impressive, and 100% invested. Deaks is an awesome captain.

GO THE MIGHTY CASEY DEMONS!

Will be interested in the AFL fringe players here versus the VFL group. Laurie. Woey. Kynan. Possibly players playing for their futures.

For those of us outside of Melbourne who are lucky enough to have Aussie Truckers to watch on 7mate today 🙄, we can live stream the game via the AFL app (and maybe air drop/screen mirror to our TVs)
