Give Southport Sharks some credit.

In the Club foyer they have a big tank with sharks in it swimming around.

Clearly have too much disposable cash.

Cappers old club too I think.

How come Casey get only 2 players in the VFL team of the year, one of whom (Mitch White) is on the bench? No Chandler or JVR? Moniz-Wakefield?

Worse still, No Barometer Munro! And no Mitch Brown?? Staggering really!

I used to watch Norword also in the old days when we were ordinary. Didn't Ros Dillon and Greg Parke play there at some stage.

Yep. Iv'e seen it.  Went to a game there several years ago. Fantatsic complex, lovely playing surface.  Pity no-one much else cares about AFL in Brissie depsite what you here.

Try being a 14 year old looking for a team to play with? few if any grounds of AFL shape so no dice. Few if any schools play it as a sport.

Most are ex Victorians who follow or have a vic connection.

Go Sharkies.

I have to check that out. There used to be a sports bar in Brisbane that had tanks with little sharks in them. Could watch them all day.

We have plenty of grounds in my part of Brisbane (northside) and junior teams are easy to find. My daughter played. Kids school was part of a school comp, although the standard was pretty low. We went all over the city to games so saw some good infrastructure. I couldn't comment on the Gold Coast though.

All I know is, get the 7-year contract out for JVR to sign for 2024-30. 
We want to lock him away and outside the clutches of the Eagles or Dockers.  

PRIDE OF VICTORIA by KC from Casey

When Casey Demons coach Mark Corrigan talks about his charges putting their “best foot forward” on Sunday when they take on the Southport Sharks in the 2022 VFL Grand Final, it’s a signal that his team is on a mission not only for themselves but in  the name of their forebears, the Springvale Scorpions, and indeed for the pride and honour of the entire State of Victoria.

The VFL club now known as the Casey Demons last won a premiership flag under the name of the Springvale Scorpions but that was before the turn of the century when they dominated the competition. In fact, they won four out of five VFA premierships from 1995 to 1999. The dominance of that last flag season has been replicated this year in a competition that’s still nominally Victorian but three of its top four placings have been occupied by Queensland clubs. The Demons have made it through to the grand final against interstaters, Sydney and Brisbane (pity their big brothers in the AFL couldn’t do likewise).

It’s fitting that the Demons are taking on the Sharks because, for most of the season, they were the team snapping at the heels of an outstanding Casey combination that reigned supreme and only lost one game of VFL football and that was in the ultimate home and away round.

The game will be something of a beauty vs beast competition because it is expected on the Casey side, there there will be a number of AFL listed players including Toby Bedford, Kade Chandler, Luke Dunstan, Jake Melksham, Adam Tomlinson and Sam Weideman and a few more, some potential high end talent of the future like Jacob Van Rooyen, Blake Howes, Bailey Laurie, Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Daniel Turner and Taj Woewodin, experienced hard bodied VFL types like Jimmy Munro and skipper Mitch White (the latter were both there when the team lost grand finals in 2016 and 2018), GWS recruit Matt Buntine and some young VFL stars of the future.

The Demons will be facing a team full of hardened second tier players who previously tried out with AFL clubs and have assembled at Southport where they have melded into a typical unrelenting type of VFL club that is always hard to beat. They have a couple of well-known opponents in the ever-reliable Jay Lockhart who was on Melbourne’s list from 2018 to 2021 and former Sydney listed speedster Zac Foot who spent last year with Casey. Two Sharks in Jacob Dawson and Boyd Woodcock were equal runners up in this year’s JJ Liston Trophy so they have plenty of talent in their team.

The Sharks’ coach Steve Daniel looks a hardnosed type himself. He believes it will be like a fairy tale if his team wins and I have to agree with him. When the teams met earlier this year, Casey got the jump on Southport at Casey Fields. Ikon Park will be a much kinder and more hospitable venue for the Sharks but I think the Demons will emerge premiers.

Casey Demons by 20 points.

LAST TIME THEY MET

Casey Demons 13.11.89 defeated Southport Sharks 8.11.59 at Casey Fields, Round 7, 2022

The Demons blitzed their opponents to the tune of 8.5.53 to 2.4.16 in the opening quarter with Mitch Brown unstoppable at full forward. Casey won everywhere except in the ruck but its midfielders made up for it by sharking numerous opposition hit outs.

Munro has been outstanding, can't believe he missed out on the team of the year.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
