Hawks have settled down a bit but being held well by Casey's defence.

Tim Smith marks and kicks truly. Great start!

Lefau kicks it off with a goal - they've taken a lot less time than Melbourne did yesterday.

Robbo doing Advance Australia Fair is a novelty.

Yes. The Casey Demons have named Pat McKenna and the unfortunate Bayley Fritsch in the 18 for Sunday’s Grand Final against the Box Hill Hawks who have added David Mirra, Conor Nash and James Worpel to their squad.

The VFL tribunal has tonight found Casey Demon Dion Johnstone guilty, resulting in a 2 week suspension for a striking charge, ruling him out of the 2018 Grand Final.

Reported on Twitter - “Casey Demon Dion Johnstone to contest the striking charge laid by the AFL Vic MRP yesterday. He was offered one week, putting him out of the VFL grand final, but he’ll fight it at the tribunal tomorrow night.”

The AFL Victoria MRP has charged Dion Johnstone with striking Essendon's Nino Lazzaro in the second quarter of the VFL preliminary final. He can accept a one-match ban that will keep him out of the grand final. Suspension rules Demon out of VFL Grand Final

Williamstown’s Jaylon Thorpe narrowly missed a shot at goal from 30 metres out to deny his team a place in next week’s VFL Grand Final. The one-point win to the Box Hill Hawks put them in the season decider against the Casey Demons.

Yeah, nah. The VFL Cats play the Hawks on Sunday in a semi final. The winner gets to play Williamstown. Casey will play the winner of Richmond v Essendon.

Stunned by that. He played a fantastic game a few weeks back for Sandringham. I thought he was going to get a promotion to the Saints seniors, not the flick. Could it be another case of proposed rookie listing?

There have definitely been some subtle changes in Sam’s role. He’s stronger, is doing more ruck work around the ground and is becoming a well rounded player, rather than type cast as a KPF. He needs a breakout game at AFL level and if that happens, we won’t see much more of him at Casey.

Looks like Harmesy’s on board.

Congratulations to one of the Casey Demon young guns Mykelti Lefau who has been chosen to represent his home country of New Zealand against the AFL Academy Australian Under 17s at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Monday April 24. Playing for St Kilda City Under 19s in the Southern Football League late last year Lefau had a match to remember, drilling 25 of his team’s 28 goals in a big victory over Carrum Patterson Lakes. He has already impressed with Casey and we wish him well in his first game for the Kiwis.

Michael Hibberd has come out and announced that he wants to leave the Bombers, The time has come for a thread all of his own. The word is that a trade will take place and involve Melbourne's second round draft pick.

Showed a bit with Casey early but has been out injured lately - due to return in a week or two.

Here is an item which I thought might be of appeel to readers of this thread and which I plucked out of my local newspaper - Bananas are yummy, Mummy
