VFL GRAND FINAL - CASEY SCORPIONS v FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Big week for the Melbourne FC and Casey Scorpions alignment.  It matters for the development of the youngsters and recognition for those who has supported the club.

Big challenge though as the BULLDOGS SMASHED COLLINGWOOD BY 117 POINTS.   Bulldogs have a FULL LIST and no need for eligibility to apply (will play 18 AFL full listed players).

Demons need to support Casey and pick the best team possible.  Question mark over Salem who could have been critical against the Dogs.

I think Hulett will also come back in.

I think one of Scott, Morris or Munro will miss out.

I think Ferreira will stay in for his pace and x factor.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Salem will miss. 

Ferreira will play. Not sure why Redleg mentions him in the potential changes? 

[Pates 9,660]

Jeez Salem's having some bad luck, thyroid issues, hammy issues, helps Casey get the GF only to be concussed in the prelim and would have to be in doubt for the Granny. 

There doesn't appear to be any doubt that we're getting behind Casey in the finals which is great to see. I don't know what the BOG medal for the VFL grand final is but I reckon Clarry would be a massive chance at it. Finals were made for guys like him.

I didn't see the game, but when I looked at this last week, Scott had been in the seniors all year where Morris and Munro had been in and out. Might give some idea on possible pecking order.

Scott really struggled to get a touch against the seagulls.  Rarely sighted until late in the game.  But has positive form before this game, so who knows?  Salem will be a big loss.  Hulett would come in, and Terls, I would think.

good luck to Casey.

Wouldn't Grimes also come in?

Yeah, Grimes, Terlich and Hulett will all be back in, and all big In's at that. It'll really hurt not having Salem, but will still be a very strong side.

[Flamingdees 227]

Salem might just get up. Who knows. Great to see the Dee's supporting Casey this year in the finals. 

Invaluable experience for our younger blokes

Coach has already ruled him out.

18 listed players? That'll be a tough ask, but if the Scorps get up it'll be huge. Can't wait to watch it!

18 AFL listed Dogs? No way.  

The Dogs have 44 on their list.

23 go to Sydney and maybe 1 comes back to play on Sunday = 22 available

They've got 7 injured http://www.afl.com.au/injury-list = 15 available

Crameri won't play and Goetz didn't play in the PF = 13 maximum including Hamilton and Lynch who have never played AFL.

They may not risk them all on a 6 day turnaround if they win in Sydney but have some injury concerns.

We should have at least as many, we had 14 in the PF, all with AFL experience.

Also no way the dogs will have 18 listed players given their injuries, and they will be taking a large squad up for the AFL Prelim.

Footscray won by 119 not 117

That was Salem's 2nd concussion for the year, so there is very little chance he will play next week

Hulett will be another In, as well as Grimes and Terlich

Finally, Casey beat Footscray by 70 points just 2 weeks ago.

You should check you're stuff before you post dude.

If someone doesn't mind answering a stupid question from an interstater, what is the relevance of the Peter Jackson VFL naming? Is it a company/sponsor or an old VFL stalwart etc?

Your first guess is correct, they are the major sponsor of the VFL

I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

Thanks for the info.
