VFL FINALS WEEK 2

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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...

    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.

    Looks like we better shut down Gibbons, Jolley and Dunell on Sunday

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
