One last fling for the VFL 2021

Reportedly, the AFL is desperately trying to  cobble together one final round for the weekend of August 21 and 22 with the usual 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 that’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.

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

    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.

    I suspect that you’re right and that even if they could get the final round or part thereof across the line, it’s still problematic because of the two non-Victorian teams left in the top eight. Southport have had the softest draw possible but there’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. Will the Giants be able to cobble together a team if they make the finals?

    If they do get round 22 across the line, there’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 didn’t have that luxury a couple of weeks ago when they had a number of 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 Casey  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.

    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.

    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, will not be against the Northern Bullants but rather, against Carlton at a date, time and venue to be decided.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
