Game just got under way. Tom McRae replaced Michael Hibberd in the Casey team.

The VFL is still a thing and, following their disappointing one point home defeat at the hands of Williamstown before the bye, the Casey Demons travel to Ikon Park to take on the Blues knowing that they have to win one of their two remaining matches to finish in the top six and avoid a wild card match in the group of 7th to 10th.

The limited fixture this weekend will suit a few of the teams in the race for “wild card” positions. Casey needs to win a couple of their remaining games to do that.

The VFL system is broken if teams play two matches over four rounds to accommodate a bye. This is especially so when clubs vying for finals places need to give all their players the best chance of getting a game. According to Simon Goodwin, there won't even be a scratch match - just extra training to give the players an opportunity to run the usual distance and carry normal match workloads. Still – bad luck for those on the cusp of selection like Brodie Grundy, Charlie Spargo, and a few others.

Perhaps but under the VFL’s new finals system that gives teams finishing 7 to 10 a wild card game, the Demons are at peril of finishing there if they drop another game. As it is, it’s going to be tough winning the flag from outside the top four with two interstate teams occupying positions there.

A heartbreaking one point loss after hitting the front and having the advantage of the wind in the last quarter.
