We have never lost at Casey, and had some miraculous comebacks there (notably the first final win, and that big final quarter by Lucy Thompson last year).

This is set to be Tia Davidge’s 50th game. She would have broken Tamsin Crook’s record as youngest (modern) VFLW player to do that if this season hadn’t been scheduled so ridiculously late.
She is set to have played 50 of a possible 52 games (yes, we played a stack of AFLW players in that one game last year, but it was still ridiculous to have her as an out that day).
She has kicked more goals against Casey than any other EFC player.
Should be a tough, competitive game. Both sides badly need this win.
Oddly, Casey forecast is near-zero wind and no rain… but don’t worry, we’ll still be lucky if it gets over 10 degrees.
Where have other (non-injured) players been?
- Sarah Ford has played one game with Kew in the VAFA
- Maddison Albrecht has played three games with Craigieburn in the EDFL (16-30 May)
- Tay Hart-Aluni got her fourth game in with the Fitzroy Stars after being dropped.
- Taylah Gilcrist had played two games with Strathmore earlier (in the first one she kicked three goals)
- Hasn’t played, but Georgia Tyrrell is a teammate of Jayda at St Josephs.
- Brianna Lambe has had four games with Boronia in the E ‘effin Hell.
- Klaumanns-Moller one game with St Mary’s Diamond Creek Div 1.
- I see nothing for Shakaila Gardiner-Dunn or Marnie Robinson.

Note that due to the less generous assessment of VFLW care, Layla Prince must miss a second game this week due to concussion protocols.
To be actually fair, we now longer have THE subject matter expert as our head coach…
