Might try and trottle along to this.

 

Think we should try to get as many people to this game as possible to really kick start the finals for both teams.

COVID bubble - doubt they will want the squad mingling at this stage 

How serendipitous that we play Sydney at our home ground.

Early weather forecast showing a beautiful day.

18 degrees and light winds.

Time to enjoy the legendary bacon and egg roll. 


VFL - 2022 Qualifying Final - Casey Demons v Sydney Swans
Saturday,  27th August
Casey Fields
1:05 PM

Match is televised live on channel 7, coverage starts at 1:00pm

Quite a few of the players were well off their game last week up in Brisbane. Hope to see them lift their intensity as they should do in a final.

We are into the big stuff now the finals. Casey finish 1st but lost their one and only loss to second placed Brisbane. Sydney finished the home and away season 4th after belting Box Hill by 57 points.

The game is on Saturday at 1:05 pm at Casey Fields.

 

Possible team

B: D.Smith, Turner, McVee

HB: Rosman, Tomlinson, Baker

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Bedford, Joel.Smith, Chandler

F: M.Brown, McDonald, van Rooyen

FOLL: Weideman, Jordon, Laurie

IC: White, Munro, Buntine, Bell, Valentine

 

My prediction is Casey by 20 points.

 

You have Rosman in. I see he has to undergo test. Or has he passed test.?

Casey chances won't be helped if McDonald plays limited minutes. Likely ?

Does Jordan qualify to play.?

I thought if you had played an AFL game after 1 July you had to have played 6 VFL games to qualify?

Happy to be corrected.

If AFL team and VFL are both in the finals together then yes, anyone can qualify.  

Had Melbourne not made finals and Casey did then he wouldn't be eligible as he hadn't played enough games.

Thats a good rule

Will be very interesting to see who plays in this game.  Are there players who need a game for conditioning?  Will Bowey/Smith/Jordon etc play 4 quarters?  Assuming Salem is back in for the firsts next week.

As you say an interesting question

Smith will definitely play 4 quarters. He's a mile off senior selection.

Bowey and Jordon... difficult to say

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
