I really want to hear Demonlanders getting behind the scorps this finals series. They've had a great season and have been an excellent feeder for the seniors this year. Maybe the Demon Army can organise to have a cheersquad there for the games? Let the boys know that just because the MFC season has ended doesn't mean we're not behind them. 

Who qualifies and who plays? Are there any that the club want to wrap in cotton wool for the end of the season?

Nice to see that the VFL hasn't fallen for Gill's AFL knee jerk reaction to a non problem by introducing the bye which IMO kills momentum for clubs, players and the interest of the general public.  A ludicrous move in my view.

If he's on track for a recall it's only a 5 day break

Correct. WB playing on thurs night should help Casey. Cant see the dogs playing anyone who would be in line or on the fringe of senior selection with only a 5 day break and/or injury a concern

I'd love to see Declan Keilty play well in this finals series and boost his chances for the upcoming draft period.

After last years disappointing first round exit at the hands of the Bombres, can't wait to see us have a very realistic crack at

the GF this year...see you all at Casey Fields Saturday!

Ah, the old "kills the interest of the general public" call hey?  What a load of frog sheet.  Are you saying you're not going to be interested in watching any of the finals because there aren't any games this weekend, Mono?

I am actually looking forward to a weekend "off" footy, with a big 4 weeks to come after it.  It's going to give me the opportunity to spend a weekend working around the house, so that I have it in top shape for as long as possible, because I know that I have 4 weeks of AFL finals that consume my weekends, followed closely by about 8 weeks of the Spring carnival.

Not only that, I get to spend this Sunday enjoying Father's Day with my kids, with no footy on the TV to worry about.

Went past our training oval this morning and there was a number of players training, must be the Casey eligible players, I didn't have time to stop but there would have been 15 or so players there.  Looks like they are going to take the finals seriously this year.

Good to hear.

There were 20 players who qualified for VFL finals, and as i saw earlier in the thread, Pedersen wont be available for VFL finals. But we should still have the following hopefully available:

Salem, Trengove, Oliver, Dunn, Newton, Garland, Michie, JKH, Weideman, Hulett, ANB, Grimes, Spencer, Kennedy, White, J. Smith, M. Jones, Terlich & Max King

Along way from the Bailey years when I remember heading out to North Port Oval to watch Casey v Collingwood in an elimination final and the only Melbourne players made available were Shane Valentti, Simon Buckley & Trent Zommer.

Pretty sure German quit as Casey coach after that.

Anyone see how Jaffer-Williams went, in view of good game in Development League. Also Van Der Haar

Jaffer Williams played very good!

I believe he's gotten best on 3 weeks in a row now?

Opened the wrong thread by accident and only looked at the 'post' box from then forward I'd say.  I'll move the posts...

Your too kind. I would rather go with the theory that he has let things get out of hand with open bar and is slightly incoherent at this stage of the night. We shouldn't let the more likely scenario spoil that should we?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
