VFL GRAND FINAL - CASEY SCORPIONS v FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS


spirit of norm smith

Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

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?

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

and just to clarify it is the clothing coy (not the other coy)

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

Thanks for the info.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
