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 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 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.

Drastic times, drastic measures: VFL ladder gets a COVID reconfiguration

Won't happen

Ā 

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.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, 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 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

You have to feel for the players trying to get an AFl game😬

and the afl clubs trying to develop players and judge who is best to promote


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.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
