Hope he can throw the ball back into play better than he commentates.

Since Nth AFL play Saturday, the North VFL will have all AFL emergencies and others available, given that their AFL team is finished for the season. Can players who play a full game Saturday be available for the Sunday game?

Their fans will also be able to be engaged.

I would have thought, that the team above all the teams playing in VFL wildcard games, would get the advantages.

I can't imagine both of them making the trek to Casey.

Ironically enough, both of their fans are, in fact, engaged.

Beautiful story.

Ugly set.

But beautiful story.

This is a strong Casey team and it should be very capable of handling a North Melbourne side whose senior counterpart is switched off and which has hardly given a whimper lately. 

Melbourne has an injury list of five players - Brown, Hibberd, Howes, Petty and Sestan. The only other list player missing is rookie Farris-White who doesn’t make the team at this point anyway because Grundy, Verrall (and even Casey listed Jack Bell) are all ahead of him.

All of Melbourne’s emergencies are named in this side but two will be on the flight - one to take his place as the sub and another as travelling emergency. This will leave 14 AFL listed players in the Casey team plus some hardened, experienced VFL players in the lineup. Casey should be too strong.

 

Bad scheduling again.

Seems I will watch Casey on AFL live app and record the Sydney game, unless anyone knows how to watch a replay of the VFL games?

Can VFL games be watched on replay?

Given the coincidental timing of both games this afternoon. Casey watchers will be ‘twixt and ‘tween.

Kev you can go split screen in the home theatre! If my recollection serves me well? You can access VFL replays on the AFL website.

A big game from Grundy won't go astray. 

Like the move of Jefferson to the wing. Gets his work load up, and gives us a different look at him. My guess he is an attacking mid, as I haven't seen him tackle with intent and consistency. 

We remain a strong and balanced team, go get 'em "Whitey". 

Desperation, pressure and holding the momentum, go a long way in "hard" games.

A good experience for our youth. The build up can only set them up, for more to come. With the veterans offering leadership, poise and belief.

Go Dees.

Oh, surfed around in the website, and it ripped me to the island of VFL match centre, which has the previous rounds game in replay.

Thanks Tarax

Gee Kev your tenacity and committment cant be queried. But that means turning off DL as well as any other communication. I thought YouTube had VFL highlights, but I guess that not good enough scrutiny.

Set up is very similar to  accessing replays of AFL matches. Scroll down AFL homepage you will see a line of links to SANFL WAFL VFL etc blink and you will miss it!

Bit of a conscientious objector. Not wrapped with where I see society heading.

Yes.

Games remain on AFL site. You can access after the game. I am not sure how long for but it is at least days, maybe weeks, maybe longer.

Every generation says pretty much the same thing. Despite our protestations we all end up emulating our parents & grandparents 🤯

I'm  over 60.

If you work on personal development and search for freedom, you can find yourself, and dispose of the parental or societal conditioning that doesn't suit.

Unlike our previous generations, information is now just a click away. We can have more understanding, with access to knowledge, than ever before in the history of us.

Look what we do with it, rinse and repeat. Not many have time to discover, and experience, the simple and sacred, "being here".

When do they name the final team? I’m interested to know how many emergencies we have taken to Sydney

Laurie and Tomlinson are both in Sydney according to some previous posts.

I would imagine McDonald will get a full run at Casey. Not sure if woewy is up there or playing at Casey.

That being the case I think Laurie will be the tactical sub and Tomlinson the travelling emergency in case a tall becomes unavailable before the game.

 

A mate of mine who today is a very jubilant North fan is going to Casey today but isn’t confident. Tells me that by his reckoning, the Kangaroos have only 7 AFL listed players and Casey should win easily.

 I’m not so sure.

Looks like  Colly will win against Tigers (VFL).

Tiges in similar position as us, AFL playing today, so not all players available.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
