Vince, J. Kennedy-Harris Out : J. Briggs, P. McKenna Mitch King has been left out of the side for the second week in a row, this time at the expense of an undersized ruckman in Mykelti Lefau. I think his papers might have been stamped. Meanwhile, the game is just underway and Jeff Garlett has marked in front to score the opening goal with just one minute gone.

Harrison There are no restrictions applying to selection of players as the Demons are represented in both AFL & VFL on the weekend.

I don’t think that there will be any changes except if there are unforeseen injuries in the Demon camp.

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.

Cam Pedersen, Tim Smith and Mykelti Lefau. Casey went for a more mobile ruck set up to counter Geelong tall Zac Smith and it worked. Mitch King was left out of the team. Lachie Filipovic is injured.
