VFL GRAND FINAL - CASEY SCORPIONS v FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS

Featured Replies

Key forwards are handy, but both this VFL side and their senior side show why its far more important to have midfielders that run both ways.

If you can win the ball and move it quickly you'll get scoring shots rather slow movement and bombing to a key forward thats got 3 players on him.

 

Jong is far more than just a VFL standard player. To come back from a broken collarbone and to play the game he is playing, setting up most of the Dogs' attack ( and will likely play in next week's GF)...the Dees should be taking a serious look at him.

8 Casey players yet to touch the ball in the 3rd quarter after 20 minutes! Pathetic work rate!


Could someone man up on Lin Jong please?

Umpires are a joke.

 

Ah the romance of it all - the football world love the doggies, but particularly the commentators and the yellow clowns in control - nauseating.....

interesting but true

It also helps when you have 13 plus games indoors (Docklands) where speed is the key


Sorry to say it, but Plapp is not a good coach in this situation.

Nees Terlich on Russell, not the Casey player. Russell is killing us, and he's really not that good.

I been saying that for a while, he is carving us up. 

Doggies have run em ragged....game has probably gone


How is that shepherding rubbish allowed?

Who was the commentator with that 'what a footy club' BS?

What a horribly gutless way to play a third quarter in a Grand Final. The Scorps showed too often during the season that they're frontrunners and so it comes to pass now. Woeful stuff when the big prize is there. 

Umpires definitely favoring the Dogs, but the Dogs are also just playing much better. We're lucky to only be 6 goals down thanks to their inaccuracy. Very disappointing!


1 team wants to win, the other likes the idea of winning, and the difference is obvious, this is sooooo dissapointing, a team that has two AFL co captains in it should not lack effort in a grand final.

Apart from Oliver, Weids and Hullet, every Melbourne listed player out there should get the cut on Monday. Seriously [censored] poor!

And there goes the Cup

 

Apart from Oliver the rest of that Casey team is not up to AFL standard. 

Matt Jones and Ben Kennedy have been a disgrace really

Sturt are in front so the day may not be completely lost.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
