Sandringham v Casey Scorpions


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
