Ben Brown gets a goal after Mac Andrew gives away a 50.

Could he be playing later on today?

Jack Bell marks after a kick from Brown falls short. Scores level.

Daniel Turner is out, replaced by Ryan Valentine - not sure if this means he’s playing in the main game. Meanwhile, first blood to the Suns 6 - 0.

If you thought the Casey Demons were tested last week when they took on the then undefeated Box Hill Hawks at Wonthaggi, then what about the test they face this week? The Gold Coast Suns are undefeated on top of the ladder and last week crushed Richmond VFL by 63 points at Punt Road - just one week after the Tigers beat the Demons by 2 goals at their Casey Fields fortress. Saturday’s game at Carrara between the VFL’s top two teams is a curtain raiser for the big AFL clash and will present Casey with its biggest challenge since last year’s grand final.

Game over and Casey wins by 30 points. Melksham - 5 goals. Terrific performance.
