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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
