Only if they merged with GCS.

Pokie money keeps them going

Aspley (suburb of Brisbane) was also supposed to join but couldn't afford it. Why are they in the VFL...why not..it's a weird competition

Ironic that the Demons moved away from pokies revenue   and yet like in NSW, many sporting clubs are funded and boosted by pokies $$$. Southport Sharks have a lot of cash to spend on players and it’s how they can compete at this level. They’ve dominated for many years in the QLD league and in the previous NEAFL.

    Sorry, I keep my eyes firmly focussed on the Casey team and ignore most of the other VFL results, so who the hell are the Southport Sharks? My quick research suggests they aren't aligned to anyone. Would they be the next team to come in from QLD otherwise why do they even play in a Victorian league. 

    As a QLDer, perhaps a more pertinent point is why did the AFL choose to continue to call it the VFL when there were 6-8 teams from outside Victoria. This year down to five I believe with the likes of Aspley/Canberra dropping out.

    But the VFL top 5 this year was 4 teams from outside Victoria, including 3 from the footy heartland of Queensland (sarcasm).

    And yes, Southport are the biggest club in QLD with no alignment to any AFL club. They have a massive leagues club which means they're able to offer good money to ex-AFL players who'd rather spend their winters on the sunny Gold Coast.

    I'm not sure $ can be spent on players. There are very modest caps in place?

    Thought the same.

    Non aligned clubs were around mid $200k someone mentioned

    How cool for our Casey boys and our youngsters to play in the finals and Granny it will stand them in good stead for those that get the opportunity to represent the Dees in the future, TMac also sounded pretty chuffed to be playing in another Granny. Good luck and enjoy your big day boys. Go Casey Demons.❤️💙👍💕

    Maybe they want to make sure Clarrie is not in a rush to get in the building?

    Let’s hope that Mark is elevated next year to Goody’s senior team he has earned his stripes and I love the way his team plays selfless footy.

    Mitch White and Luke Dunstan have been selected in the VFL Team of the Year. Dunstan is the ruck rover while White has been named on the bench.

    How did Chandler miss out?

    Luke Dunstan in 5th place after 13 rounds of voting in the JJ Liston Trophy voting.

    Not much chance of winning because he’s 7 votes behind and Casey still have a couple of byes and that final round defeat coming up.

    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?

    Gameplan perhaps but are AFL players eligible ?

    My thoughts exactly. When a team is the minor premier and have only lost one game all season, while it’s not a given, it’s usually the case that they’d have more than just two players in the team of the year. 🤔

    I know $20 is not a great amount these days but charging anything for this game is a bit over the top.

    Perhaps they want to limit the numbers attending and thus reduce stadium costs

    Crowd under 5k is my guess

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
