CASEY SCORPIONS v FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS - VFL FINALS WEEK 1

in Melbourne Demons

Will be interested to see team selection later tonight to see how many of our 20 eligible players are made available for finals. Already heard whispers that Pedersen has been sent in for early surgery.

Would be good to see the likes of Weideman, Oliver, Salem, Nibbler and Hulett win a premiership as well as some of the older heads in Trengove, Grimes, Dunn & Garland.

I'll be heading along saturday, hopefully to finally see us win a final. Despite us making finals every year since the alignment began back in 2009 bar once and having two top 4 finishes.

    Would be nice to see the boys hopefully win some silverware. Is the Vfl finals format the same as the Afl?

    Playing Oliver last week when he clearly could have been in the Melbourne side was a strong sign that Melbourne intend on allowing players to play Casey finals this year.

    A shot at a flag would be a great reward for the players who have been busting a gut there all year, just to remain on the far fringe on the main side. Especially for those who won't be in the AFL system next year.

    Based on who is available, if our team looks something like this I'll be very happy: 

    White Hutchins Garland  
    Grimes Dunn Michie
    Salem ANB Kennedy
    Spencer Oliver Trengove
    JHK T. Smith Hulett
    Newton Weideman Terlich 

    IC:  J. Smith M. Jones Max King Keilty McInerney Morris Munro Scott

    Not a bad 2's side at all....

    If true that's a strong indication Pedo will be a Demon next year.

    There is that risk.  Then on the flip side, you don't play enough of your players and get beaten, then they can resent you just as much..... :unsure:

    Thanks for the update Angry but I'll hope they win this one and watch them when they are a bit closer to home.

    I think the regular Casey seniors (Hutchins, Smith, Morris etc) will all find a spot anyway over MFC lessers like King or Smith.

    Other than that, it's a bit of tough luck - they would know what they signed up for when signing for an AFL aligned team. All the MFC players eligible to play have contributed to the strong Casey season so far anyway.

    Can the Bulldogs load up on players considering AFL have the bye?

    The good thing is they play next Thursday night, they might go the opposite and rest players that are borderline for senior selection

    You've hit the nail on the head, why would they risk anyone in the VFL with only a 5 day break, particularly coming off a flight back from Perth, then another to Perth. They've also got the double chance, so I think it's more likely they'll be very conservative rather than go all out for the win. Still their list will stand up pretty well even missing a few that are borderline seniors.

    Only if the players are eligible, the cupboard is pretty bare for the Doggies with so many injuries.

    I would be great for our younger boys to get exposure to finals footy even if it is at VFL level, Breeding success from the bottom up !!!

    My understanding of the rule and not well educated on it, is if the AFL side is still playing all listed players are eligible

    Can someone else work this jargon out?  Hurts my head.

     

    Clause a is easy, you have to have played at least one VFL game.

    Clauses b, c and d relate to the Development League and can be ignored.

    Clauses e and f are only applicable if your AFL team is still playing; ours isn't.

    Clause g is the only one that counts; you must have played at least one VFL game, Senior or Development, and not played more than 12 AFL games.

    The most interesting point is g(j) which has been used several times in the past; the CEO of AFL Victoria can declare anybody eligible.

    Looked at the Dogs' team, seems like they only have about 8 listed players, no Stringer. Fair to say it looks like an easy win by selections

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
