Cook gets a lucky free 20 metres out in front and misses. It does however, give Casey its highest score of the current finals series.

    Watching Michael Talia play on Cook...... One is a relative man mountain with wide shoulders and big arms, the other looks like he will be blown over in the strong winds.

    Cook get the free, misses from 20 out in front....... hmmmmmm.

    I don't see why the result of this game has people calling for a reserves side.

    Collingwood have a reserves side but they don't even get to play because they missed the finals.

    Let's be serious guys. Whoever our VFL team is, it's job is to develop MFC players. VFL results are irrelevant.

    From a Melbourne perspective I thoroughly agree. I can see however there might be a differing view from the other side of the fence.

    I however follow Melbourne

    The VFL is essentially a development league. While Casey is aligned with the Dees their role is to develop Dees listed players and to provide VFL opportunities to talented young players from the outer south east of Melbourne.

    I doubt Casey can survive as a stand alone VFL team. Their only viable future is as Dees and aligned VFL team with all footy appointments and recruiting decisions approved by the Dees. If there is resistance to that by people involved with Casey then we have to bite the bullet and fund our own standalone VFL team. And Casey can chance their arm as a standalone team.

    We cannot compromise the development of our young players.

    Same here. Got nothing against VFL footy, in fact there's a lot to like. But MFC is the first priority.

    Aren't we signed to Casey for 30 years or something though? Or is that just the training base etc?

    Reckon the only difference would be MFC would have less complaining to put up with in situations like this year when we pull players out. Oh, and the extra cash it would cost us...

    No need to make the move IMO.

    From memory there's an out clause every 5 years.

    I think a stong cup of chamomile and some deep breathing will help everyone here before they begin launching into the issues once again.

    So going out in straight sets with very few MFC players playing means we should forget about the alignment?

    Do you people think before you post?

    Honestly, I might have to start my 'list' again...

    Note: Used to have a list of idiots in a thread...

    Nup having a standalone team that allows you to fully control the development of your players is not really that important...

    Just rewatched the half time conversation regarding Cook and Gysberts.

    The abc vfl commentators said following.

    Donegan: "Melbourne coach Mark Neeld has just had a bit of a chat to us about the situation with Lucas Cook and Jordan Gysberts. It did appear in the papers throughout the week and he seemed pretty disappointed with what appeared."

    Rhys Jobes: "Yeah, yeah and both boys are still on the list and that's good signs for them and ah let's hope they can stay on there and produce in the last quarter (Rhys Jones confused that its half time) cause Casey needs them at the moment."

    You really trying to suggest we don't control Casey after all the players we forced them to pull out before a semi final?.....

    But no, you're right, it's not out poor drafting/development/coaching/resources/culture that has stopped us from being successful, it's all Casey's fault... lol

    No i was stating the obvious that current AFL best practice is a fully controlled development team.

    Disappointing end to the season for Casey, they'd had such a good year but to finish top 2 only to lose both finals and fall out in straight sets must be really heartbreaking for the Casey players.

    Whether or not we should be fielding a standalone side, however, is a totally separate issue and has no bearing whatsoever on this result.

  • Quote

    I have no malice towards Casey, but i still see the top AFL clubs will all be stand alone within the next 2-3 years.

    We need to be proactive on this.

    Great effort by Brett Lovett this year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
