Optimistic of a good win on Saturday. We're tough to beat out at Casey Fields at the best of times and by my counting we could have up to 19 AFL listed players run out against the Lions. Throw in Jimmy Munro, Mitch White and Matt Buntine for support and we should have our 3rd Grand Final appearance in the VFL in seven years.

    Three Queensland teams in the preliminary final - can someone remind what the V in VFL stands for again?

    The biggest threat to Casey winning is Goodwin having a change of heart at the selection table and putting Dunstan and a couple of other Casey guns in the Melbourne side.

    I'm honestly lucky to watch any game other than the Dees on a given weekend at the moment. Responsibilities galore.

    Massive game on Saturday the 10th of September at Casey at 1:10 pm. Casey has just had the bye after beating Sydney by 47 points. Brisbane are also in the PF after beating Carlton by 12 points last week. The winner will play the winner of the Southport v Gold Coast game.

    Possible team

    B: D.Smith, Turner, Rosman

    HB: Bowey, Tomlinson, Rivers

    C: Howes, Dunstan, Baker

    HF: Laurie, van Rooyen, Joel.Smith

    F: Bedford, M.Brown, Chandler

    FOLL: Weideman, White, Munro

    IC: Buntine, McVee, Woewodin, Moniz-Wakefield, Valentine

     

    I think Rivers will make way for McDonald in the senior team.

    I stand to be corrected, but I'm not sure bowey is eligible to play. He has played too many AFL games , more than 12?

    I managed to find the rule, 20, but it is extremely difficult to interpret. Written by a very big committee?

    I don't believe these restrictions apply whilst the AFL team is still playing. If the AFL side loses this week, Bowey wouldn't be eligible to play in the VFL Grand Final.

    It is Rule 20, see subrule b and g.

    Really hard to read and I get paid to read stuff and understand it.

    What makes it hard is that most of the subrules start off by saying in effect "despite the other rules..." but you end up going in circles.

    @poita is right. While our AFL team remains alive, all players are eligible for VFL finals. So a win over the Lions on Friday Night in the AFL ensures we have a full list to choose from for the VFL Grand Final should we make it.

    Yes, that is what subrule (e) says, but it is followed by (g) which says despite other rules maximum 12 games. It also says b applies which provides that if a player has played a game in the ones after 1 July, he has to have played 6 VFL games to be eligible.

    What complicates matters is that while 20.g is expressed to be despite the other rules, so is 20.e.

    Good fodder for the High Court now that appeals to Privy Council are abolished.

    But, maybe I'm wrong.

    Don't overthink it. Cyril Rioli played 1 game for Box Hill in 2014 which was the Grand Final despite playing exclusively for Hawthorn when fit earlier in the year. Why could he do that?? Because Hawthorn were still alive in the AFL.

    Maybe Clarry and May can play a double header. Can't see Casey losing then 🤣

    I understand that entry to the preliminary final is free. I assume no need to book tickets, just rock up at the ground?

    Due to being no change in the seniors I have to put McDonald in the side.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
