I thought they may have put Tommo into Casey so as to have an experienced backman there, and to make it more probable that Casey have a game when MFC have a bye. As others have said, not much between him and Disco. So with Tommo as emergency, there goes that theory.

Did the AFL actually schedule this blockbuster, Friday night footy contest, not too long ago.

Wow, that is not even seeing the glass half empty. You have poured it down the sink. Do you think we have the "Collywobbles"? Do you think that is on the minds of the opponents? If so, we have already won the psychological game. Much better at playing the "G" (hope we get a few games there), hurting from those losses last season, we are a very good consistent team, with plenty of game options and we play with muscle (first time I have seen this in many years).

I was quoting channel 7. Yes, saw Grundy play at Casey.

Heard it is "Fritta and Tmac in, Grundy out", on the 7 news. Want plenty from Tom, and to just get some run into the legs of Fritta.

The team was not at Gosch's this morning.

The following week is to our advantage, if Casey beat North. AFL get the bye, and those players that are underdone or need to prove themselves could get a chance, against the VFL Footscray team.

Since Nth AFL play Saturday, the North VFL will have all AFL emergencies and others available, given that their AFL team is finished for the season. Can players who play a full game Saturday be available for the Sunday game? Their fans will also be able to be engaged. I would have thought, that the team above all the teams playing in VFL wildcard games, would get the advantages.

Prefer your sources were right. Since Nth AFL play Saturday, the North VFL will have all AFL emergencies available, and their supporter base. I would have thought, that the team above all the teams playing in VFL wildcard games, would gets the advantages.

After the heartbreaking two point loss to the Brisbane Lions yesterday, the Casey Demons now find themselves in a do or die Wildcard Round clash. Finishing in seventh place, the Demons enter the new format alongside Collingwood, Richmond and North Melbourne. Casey will play North Melbourne on Sunday 27 August at 2:45pm at Casey Fields. It is a win at all costs fixture with the losing team having their season end. The winning side will continue into the traditional finals bracket where sixth place Footscray are waiting.

Thought Laurie offered a bit. Though, too late in the season to get more time in AFL, so as to continue his needed development. Cannot imagine him being delisted, there are other fringe players who would go before him. Is his contract up for negotiation?

We will probably know what is required by the time we start our game, or at least soon after. Brisbane Saturday game, Port a 12.30 start on Sunday, us, a 3.20 start on Sunday.

McVee closed Breust down after his 1st quarter dominance. We played through their pressure. Love our backs (zoning and communication), if not May, then Lever in the air, the smalls try harder (especially if an error) and run straight at ground balls. Rivers is so important to breaking the lines. Melksham wants a shot at a premiership. Viney has been having a great year. We are playing the "G" well, and are ready for spring footy. Ran them off their legs, and forced turnovers. We get to walk into the finals in good shape, and with minimal have to win pressure (can afford to bring in an underdone Fritta). Sydney could be best preparation for us, offering a challenge, before we go into the bye.

I think he was as well. Looked to be staggering as he got up.

Of course, I didn't think it out well. So we need about a 20 point win. Thanks for that Rpfc. Hoping for a big last quarter, though won't be able to watch (the "G" is calling)

They could tank, to get the continuity into themselves. (The wild card entry into VFL season final fixture)

Edited, as I was wrong. 6th guarantees a week off, as 7 to 10 play for wild card entry into finals.

Agree, I thought Jefferson was starting to look bigger, especially in the hip area. Muscle is building well, which I thought wouldn't happen.

Another game where I only see up to 3/4 time, as I have to head to the "G". Not very good scheduling. Great that D.Turner is back, with Jed developing and Kye getting some match fitness, the youngsters to show us that they know their roles and can work together well. Lead them on Hibbo.

Playing the old enemy again. Don't even like calling their name, use the Potter, "they, that should not be named" Get it done Dees.

I'm so traumatised by the their last goal, I cannot remember Simons shot on goal. Did it go through and not given?

Need to move on. Though, given what happened to Adelaide yesterday and us, they need much better Tech, that can overrule umps.

Memories of our start against North Melbourne, gets me worried. They want to be up for some contest and tackles. Good chance of a finals like start, with some applied pressure, I reckon. Cmon Dees, give us commitment and wanting it for 4 quarters, I would hate us to be choosing when to go. I want to see Tommo cement a spot. Clarry to boom. Small forwards to have a day out. Marks and clean footy, to win it for us, together with forcing turnovers. Go Dees

They were all over the place, Xavier, Junction and Casey. FIFA games are no longer played at AAMI. Last one was on the 8th, I think. I expect/assume that their facilities at AAMI are now available to use.

You're welcome. Helps me get out for those morning walks, via the Yarra and the Botanical. I enjoy that, and the storms young players were having some fullish sims. Beautiful day down here in Melbourne. I thought, maybe the club has changed up its training routine, as it prepares for a finals assault. I will have a sqizz at Gosch's again, Thursday morning.
