CASEY: PF vs Brisbane

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.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
