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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
