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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
