One last fling for the VFL 2021

Reportedly, theĀ AFL is desperately trying to Ā cobble together oneĀ final round for theĀ weekend ofĀ AugustĀ 21 and 22 with the usualĀ top eight finals format starting a week later. Mostly in the hands of Chairman Dan and other State Premiers although I doubt that Gladys will have much input.

The current teams outside of Victoria in the top 8 are Southport and UWS Giants although thatā€™s also an interesting question because some clubs have played more games than others. They would probably have to work out the ladder on a match ratio basis.

REPORT: AFL OFFICIALS HOPEFUL VFL AND VFLW CAN RESUME

    Sadly KC this competition is a disaster. I want caseyĀ  to play simply so our players can have a run before finals. But I doubt it will happen.Ā

    They finally worked it out with a full round to take place on the weekend of 21 and 22 August, Covid19 & state governments willing. Ladder to be decided on a match ratio basis and Casey Demons playing Carlton at some date, time and venue to be decided.

    Good luck with all of this.

    Ā 

    I suspect that youā€™re right and that even if they could get the final round or part thereof across the line, itā€™s still problematic because of the two non-Victorian teams left in the top eight. Southport have had the softest draw possible but thereā€™s nowhere to hide at finals time. Would the Queensland government make allowances to let a VFL team into their state? The Covid19 protocols for such sides would be somewhat different depending on the numbers of part time footballers involved.Ā Will the Giants be able to cobble together a team if they make the finals?

    If they do get round 22 across the line, thereā€™s going to be an intriguing battle between Geelong and Casey for a top four spot which will be decided by percentage assuming both beat teams well below them. However, that will depend on whether those clubs have full contingents available. Casey didnā€™t have that luxury a couple of weeks ago when they had a number ofĀ MFC players held back from the team who were on a quick round turn flight back from Queensland on the same day. There will be an element of randomness and luck deciding finals placing. Not ideal.

    I would love to go to another CaseyĀ  game this year. Going to the Werribee game reminded of how much I enjoy going to football. No amount of TV coverage can compare. Start dreaming about 2022 I guess.Ā

    Good lord what a mess, it was messy before this year with different clubs having allegiances but using them in different ways. Now in COVID times with it spread across state borders it's just impossible to work.

    Really sucks too because it's important for development and older players getting a last chance at pushing their case.Ā

    Do we know if AFL clubs are running matches like they did last year in QLD.

    Big advantage for Port and WCE come finals with most of the final 8 sides not getting any game time into fringe and players returning from injury.

    The final Casey game of the season, if it takes place,Ā will not be against the Northern Bullants but rather, against Carlton at a date, time and venue to be decided.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0ā€“6 start?
