    Where is Magner?

    Injured presumably. Why would he not be playing otherwise?

    This is the question. Magner and Davis were not on Misson's injury report but are missing in action! Anyone know what is going on?

    Casey plays the winner of Sunday's Essendon v Werribee elimination final. The Scorpions have been eliminated by the Tigers two years in a row so it could well be a case of déjà vu.

    Bad luck scorps, difficult with the lack of AFL listed players. Damn a win last weekend could have made a big difference to this finals campaign.

    KC any idea who we are likely to get next week?

    Yes - next week it's against the winner of Sunday's Essendon v Werribee elimination final. Likely venue is North Port Oval on 8 September.

    I have made a list at home of the players I believe have qualified and will post it at the weekend.

    Thanks again KC

    Look forward to your usual thorough summary

    Playing Geelong on its home patch and with the side severely depleted by injury anyway, it's safe to say we were always going to lose. The Cats apparently had18 AFL listed players.

    The situation changes for Casey from next week and I believe that after, eliminating the injured and retired players, there should be about a dozen Demons available including Jake Spencer and Max Gawn which gives the team a strong edge in the ruck against most VFL teams. And following this loss, the Scorpions are in the "safer" half of the draw with Werribee and Box Hill as likely opponents on the way to the grand final if they can find winning form.

    The big pity is that we won't see Jesse Hogan taking part in finals footy which would have been a good progression for him as he moves up to become a fully fledged AFL player. Given how Cam Pedersen went its a pity the club didn't qualify him for the VFL finals last week (they flew him to Adelaide to be first emergency instead) and what a pity Joel Macdonald and David Rodan had to retire? They would have added that extra ingredient of experience that is so important in finals series.

    In any event, we still have some minor interest left in the season.

    Cheers for the updates KC much appreciated

    Casey just played Geelong in the first of the finals, Pedersen played, therefore he must be eligible. What am I missing here?

    With Melbourne playing this week, Casey was able to play anybody who didn't make the team against the Western Bulldogs.

    Next week, with Melbourne out of competition, the qualification rules apply. These basically require AFL listed players to have played at least six matches with their VFL affiliate during the home and away season. Pedersen played five and hence, his season is over.

    MFC was purposely holding them back, purely to [censored] off Casey and overexcited supporters...

    FMD.

    Thanks. Thought the 6 game rule applied to all finals.

    Thanks KC. That is not a bad list at all. Gives us some structure up forward and down back.

    why can't joel play?

    doesn't retirement mean at end of season?

    When he announced his retirement, he announced that it would be effective immediately after that weekend's game against Bendigo. Unfortunately, we lost 4 or 5 players (including Hogan) to injury the same week.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
