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.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.Ā  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
