van Rooyen 'super excited' for Grand Final debut

Good chat here with Van Rooyen. 

 

And to think we beat Sydney and then Brisbane in the finals.

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!

Im looking forward to a Red and Blue GF Sunday. Casey Demons in the VFL @1pm followed by by the Norwood Redlegs in the SANFL @ 3pm.

 

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.

He did get stood on last week and came off briefly, I wonder if it's to do with that or a full re-injury?
