CASEY has selected 11 Melbourne-listed players in their squad to take on Richmond in Saturday’s VFL match at Casey Fields.
In what poses to be a tough match-up against the side in third place on the VFL ladder, welcoming back some experienced players will help the Demons.
Following their omissions from Melbourne’s side to play Richmond, both Josh Wagner and Cory Wagner will be wanting to have quality outings to earn their way back into the AFL selection mix.
After playing on reduced minutes against the Australian Under 18s side in last weekend’s exhibition match, defender Oscar McDonald will also be keen to put in a good showing against Richmond.
Harry Petty, Declan Keilty, James Jordon, Oskar Baker, Toby Bedford, Kade Chandler, Charlie Spargo, and Tom Sparrow are the other Melbourne players set to take the field for Casey.
It has been over a year since these two sides last met, with Richmond defeating Casey by 35 points in Round 3 last season at the Swinburne Centre.
Casey’s squad will be cut down to 23 half an hour before the bounce on Saturday afternoon.
