Sandringham v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Posted

Highlights:

For Demon fans who make their way out to TBBO, it will be like turning back the clock to the "good old days" when the MFC affiliate was one of the dominant forces in the VFL. A day of nostalgia but beware ... the place is not the same - for one thing, the old fence has gone. However, it's still as tough as ever to find a car park spot.

The Casey Scorpions secured their place in the finals with a terrific final half fightback against the Coburg Lions last week.

Now that the pressure's off and it's a virtual dead rubber for them, expect the Scorpions to put in a big one.

It looks as if Jordie McKenzie is either being rested or the "mystery injury of the week". Jack Fitzpatrick and Dom Tyson missed out on both MFC and Casey but Jimmy Toumpas is back.

Mitchell Cox (18, 180cm, 78kg) of the Dandenong Stingrays comes in as 23rd player.

... and check out the name of one of the players on the interchange bench for the development league team.

Frosty was the guest speaker in the Premium Members room some 5 weeks ago and said then he planned to be back in time to play finals for Casey.

Wait, what?

But where's Fitz?

correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure he suffered concussion 2 weeks back and due to his history of it they may just be increasingly careful.

 

'Picket' will be happy that White is named in the starting line up.

Good to see King, Kent & Frost named...


KC - sorry if you have already wrote on this, but are you able to give a run down on all the MFC listed players eligible to play in the VFL finals for Casey?

You've actually seen him at the ground? Or just read his name on the Internet?

KC - sorry if you have already wrote on this, but are you able to give a run down on all the MFC listed players eligible to play in the VFL finals for Casey?

These are the rules which were applicable in 2014 and I'm not aware of any changes:-

20. Participation in Finals

20.1 Players who have not played at least one (AFL or VFL) Senior or AFL Victoria Development Leaguematch in the relevant season shall be ineligible to play in the Senior Grade Finals.

20.2 Subject to Regulation 20.3 below, players who have played with the AFL Senior team of any AFL Club after the 1st day of July in the relevant season shall be ineligible to play in the VFL Senior or AFL Victoria Development League Finals unless they have played a total of at least six (6) Senior VFL or AFL Victoria Development League matches in the same season.

20.3 Players who have not played at least two (2) AFL Victoria Development League matches in the relevant season shall be ineligible to play in the AFL Victoria Development League Finals save where immediately prior to selection, an AFL or VFL listed player has missed through injury, at least ten (10) consecutive home & away matches of the VFL football season and his club remains active in the senior VFL Finals series.

20.4 Players who have played in more thaneight (8) Senior VFL Grade matches shall not be eligible to play in Final Series matches of the AFL Victoria Development League unless they have played in at least six (6) matches of the AFL Victoria Development League.

20.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Rule 20, except for Regulation 20.6 below,when a Club has both of its Senior Grade (AFL or VFL) teams engaged on the same weekend, the selection of players in the VFL Senior Grade team shall be unrestricted, provided a player has participated in at least one (AFL or VFL) Senior Grade or AFL Victoria Development League match in that relevant season.

20.6 When an AFL Club is eliminated from the AFL Final Series on the same weekend as the VFL Grand Final, unrestricted selections as per 20.5 for AFL listed players still apply.

20.7 Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 20, for a VFL Club(s) who does not field a AFL Victoria Development League team in the competition, AFL listed players must qualify players under Regulation 20.2 and must have played not more than 12 AFL games to be eligible to play in VFL finals matches.

20.8 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, the General Manager of AFL Victoria can deem any person eligible to play in any match.

When I get home tonight if I have time, I'll check my records to see if I can identify which players are eligible. With the turnover of players due to injury, I suspect there might not be as many as we think.

That's the key rule and on that basis, I can see why the omission of James Harmes might be so timely. He's played 7 games for MFC and it could be that the club wants him get a taste of playing finals football - albeit at a lower level than AFL - just to get a feel of what it's like to take part in that area of the game.

Thanks KC! So we are looking at players who have played at least 6 games with Casey or they have been injured for 10 + weeks. Should have around 15 or so players if available.

Quarter Time in the Development League game sees Casey leading 3.0.18 to 1.3.9.

I haven't left to go to the game yet - score is relayed via a contact at the ground.


As far as I can see the below players should be eligible:

Hunt - 6 games

King - 6 games

Spencer - 12 games

Russian - 14 games

Bail - 10 games

Newton - 8 games

Harmes - 10 games

McKenzie - 15 games

Riley - 10 games

Fitzy - 12 games

M.Jones - 9 games

Terlich - 15 games

White 14 games

Mitchie - 8 games

JKH - 6 games

Toumpas - 9 games

O.McDonald - 13 games

ANB - 6 games

Grimes 5 games needs 1 more

Stretch 5 games needs 1 more

Frost and Kent both missed more than 10 consecutive matches but Frost needs to play for the seniors next week to be eligible for VFL seniors

Max gawn has playeed 6 games but if he plays the last two rounds of the AFL he will be ineligible for VFL finals.

May have miss read the finals eligibility rules but I believe we should have a pretty strong team to select. Only negative is the rules of the Casey affliliation which further restricts how many AFL players we can select.

Another problem is that finals start next week which is the last round of the AFL so we still won't have a full strength side. Hoping we win the first final so we can get full sstrength side.

If the finals start next week then Grimes and Stretch are out as they haven't played enough games. That leaves 20 players barring AFL selection and emergencies.

With Spencer and the Russian eligible for the finals, you would think the best course would be to let Max have a break to gear himself for season 2016.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
