Casey has announced their team for the crucial Round 10 clash against the Coburg Lions, set to take place this Saturday at Piranha Park with a 1:05 PM start. Both teams are eager to break their losing streaks, each coming off two consecutive losses and hungry to prove their mettle.
The Demons have made three key changes for this match, welcoming back some vital players who will add strength and depth to the squad.
Tom Fullarton returns to the lineup after being a late withdrawal in last week's game against Sandringham.
Fullarton is set to play his crucial role at half-forward, where his presence is expected to boost the Demons' forward line significantly. His inclusion adds experience and is a much-needed attacking option for Casey.
Blake Howes is making a long-awaited return, running out for Casey for the first time since last year. Howes has been recovering from an injury, and his return to the backline is eagerly anticipated.
As a versatile medium defender, Howes is known for his ability to read the play and his strong defensive skills, which will be pivotal in countering Coburg's forward threats.
Ned Moodie also returns after sustaining an injury in Casey’s Round 8 clash against Brisbane.
Moodie will slot into the half-back position, where his defensive prowess and ability to launch counterattacks will be vital. His return will fortify the Demons' defensive structure and add an extra layer of resilience against the Lions.
Both Casey and Coburg are in dire need of a win to rejuvenate their seasons. The Demons, with their bolstered lineup, will be looking to capitalise on the returns of Fullarton, Howes, and Moodie. The added experience and talent are expected to bring a new dynamic to the team's performance.
Supporters can expect a fiercely contested match as the Demons prepare to take on the Lions at Piranha Park. Make sure to catch all the action this Saturday as the Casey Demons aim to turn their fortunes around and demonstrate their resilience and determination on the field.
