VFL FINALS WEEK 2

[Diamond_Jim 12,416]

Just went to the Collingwood VFL site by chance.

We could perhaps learn a few things from them.

First: Cost of entry is zero for home and away games.

The club run website provides clear and consistent game day reports including quarter by quarter reports

Here's an example:

KC and others do a wonderful job updating us on this site and I like the coaches notes on the MFC listed players.

Small thing and an example of what clubs with money can do

Uhm the Pies are rolling in money, it is a stand alone side, they play games at a venue you could walk into for free.

I think you'll find the fixturing reflects a Western Bulldogs / Footscray priority as they are the only club with teams still contending in both competitions (and the WB are playing on Fri night and hence likely to play the following Fri night or Sat if they win through.  A Sat fixturing for Footscray minimises the scheduling / recovery gap differential across their two teams).  With the VFL GF set for Sun, Casey still gets a minimum 7 day break if they make it.  If Melbourne were contending in the AFL finals series as well as Casey, I'm sure we'd want it managed in the same manner.  We must resist the temptation on here of becoming too provincial and paranoid....

The Bulldogs AFL team will be playing in the Saturday prelim if the make it. They pulled out players from their VFL team on Sunday who were in line for selection next week. 

I get that I'd be arguing for the opposite if we were still playing in the AFL but I think the VFL should focus on their own comp, and give the Dogs VFL team a 7 day break instead of worrying about the what ifs from the AFL.

As mentioned already there's no way that they could charge for people to watch them play at the ground they kicked Athletics Australia out of.

If you want real-time updates on how Casey are doing game day, either get to the ground (entry is free with a Melbourne Membership),

or follow the Scorps Twitter and/or facebook page for live updates on who's scoring the goals as they happen, and a score/goalscores

and stats breakdown at each change. 

You could also tune into Radio 3SER to listen to a lot of the games live.

Not sure how many more outlets to keep informed you'd like...

Daisey wins the womens B&F. Who is surprised?

[DemonDave 1,082]

me. there must be a mistake. i'll be ruined if this gets out.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

No JJ Liston for Casey.

After 18 rounds, the best is ANB on just 10 votes and six behind the leader. He played with MFC in VFL Round 19.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Jack Grimes on 11 votes is now Casey's best after 20 rounds but the leader (Gibbons of Williamstown) has 17. 

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Congratulations to Michael Gibbons of Williamstown - winner of the 2016 JJ Liston Trophy.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Alex Neal-Bullen finished in equal fourth place after collecting three votes in the final game of the season.

[MadAsHell 4,209]

Final leader board here.

Three Dees in the top 11.

I have high hopes for ANB when he finally has the chance to play his natural position... hopefully he gets that chance with the Dees.

Totally agree. Poor bugger plays almost exclusively as a mid in the VFL racking up 30+ possessions a week and then is played as a Death Valley forward in the senior team.

Im thinking we are yet to see anything near the best of ANB at AFL level.

ANB gets pushed off the ball/out of position too easily.

Michie's defensive game is deplorable and is the only thing preventing him from being a regular in the 1s.

Williamstown's midfield is easily the best in the VFL. Casey are optimistically hoping to break even in clearances on the weekend and will be using third man up as much as possible.

Apparently.
