Forget double header. It's at Casey, unless there is a change of heart...which I very much doubt

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.

My stupid niece is having a birthday party during this game. What a selfish 4 year old!

Forecast for Saturday...cold and rain. Rather different to last encounter against this mob.

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.

Bit rough on Bowey.

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 🤣

Peanuts.  Peanuts,  shilling a bag. Peanuts 

every other vfl ground. And the Vafa Preston grounds port Melb and Prahran if I remember

Sandringham and Dandenong too

Used to always enjoy a noon pie they sold on the wing at Prahran.

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

No booking required last game

Or Saturday.

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