The review is up on the MFC site:

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/893219/vfl-casey-wins-a-close-one-over-the-kangaroos

 Chandler and Bedford continue to impress and Melk played well.    Theres some real motivation for Spargo, Kozzie and ANB to keep performing.

No mention of Rosman in the report but he kicked 3 goals.

    So no VFL practice games at the weekend. Presumably the players not in the MFC team will have some form of match simulation etc but it's not the same and makes it harder for those pushing for selection to get into a team that's winning :)

    It shows how poor this new league is WJ. What happens now with the QLD teams who are made up of players who are  only semi professional?  Any competition that does not allow the players who are part of AFL teams to play in a real game every week  is poor from the start.

    Not to mention the fixture impact of covid related border issues already affecting the AFL.  Not the ideal time to go from VFL/NEAFL leagues to an Eastern League. 

    We may end up changing the fixture and Vic teams play Vic teams for a few months as they did with the early rounds of AFLW.

    Agree LH what we need is a competition that has 22 rounds and  starts the same week as the AFL. Anything less has serious implications on players not selected in the senior team. Just poor.

    For those in the know re VFL - how are the different rules impacting?  My understanding is a certain number of players have to be in the 50 and goal square for each ball up?  If so, when Weid / Brown come back in, will the rules make a big difference in terms of running / leading patterns.

    Also I know it's only a practice match but we've got a pretty strong team with a number of Dees listed players in there - so was surprised that the Roos VFL side came close.  Do they have a strong VFL core or are their kids super talented?

    Jesus -  Brendan who wrote this needs a lesson from George On The Outer on how to do a match report.

    The first half is cliche filled rubbish that coaches talk about in post match conferences and promoting Mark Corrigans game plan.

    All supporters want to know is who played well and how the AFL listed players went plus the goal kickers.

    Come on guys you can do better.

    I wonder if Rosman's role will be sprinting back to the  goal square within 10 seconds to avoid free kicks for not following the anti density rules.

    Draft a guy with elite speed and endurance just to avoid falling foul of this new restriction.

    It's just a write-up of the coach's press conference/press release. I'm not sure who else people were expecting to sit down  in front of a microphone or put pen to paper, roles have had to be cut back as it is.

    Really sounds like this new second tier competition is already proving to be a mistake, or at least in the early days a total mess. How can you have a second tier competition start so much later than the main league. It's a joke.

    COVID has caused a lot of issues with money but this really underscores that the AFL needs to create a reserves competition with each team represented by their own club (or a likewise affiliate). 18 teams that play each other from within the competition. I know it would take a lot to organise but it has to be the way forward to create a proper reserves comp. (FWIW I would have our 2nds operate as the "Casey Demons")

    VFL has never started before Round 2 and in most cases round 3.

    It has always had multiple byes.

    It's a cheap practice comp... integrity disappeared around ten years ago.

    Remind me which year it was when MFC effectively pulled its players out of the VFL finals series.

    I wanna say it was around 2001 with Sandy. I vaguely remember there were players that really wanted to play in the finals series for Sandringham but were prevented from doing so by the club. At the very least it should have been the players choice, and really finals experience in finals experience no matter if it's the big leagues or VFL.

    I don't think many clubs have done that since, and now I think we have a very good working relationship with Casey (mainly because they've become apart of our organisation).

    But precisely because the VFL didn't start before round 2, and because they would have byes that don't match with the AFL team, it just seems like such a poor substitute for a reserves competition.

    Maybe they could get Whispering Jack to do their match report. It would be a major improvement on what they are currently providing.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
