CASEY: PF vs Brisbane

Dingo
in Melbourne Demons

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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
