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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0ā€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demonsā€”but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
