You picked it, Blister (as they say "I'll show myself out"). Include the timing for the AFL game, and the VFL H&A fixture, this comp is compromised. 

Go Dees.

It's a complete sham Kev.

Unfortunately the AFL calls the shots and all the clubs are in on the circus act and gravy train so none will speak up.

Everyone blames the AFL but the VFL and the AFL affiliate clubs are also to blame for allowing the AFL to ride roughshod without any protest etc

Not sure why Schache is not playing either

A number of silly 'withholds' by the club including JJ, Woe, Tomlinson or Disco.

There's no way the Dogs are taking so many easy marks i50 with one of Disco or Tomo in.

Madness ....complete and utter madness

Unfortunately it has become obvious that the AFL has no interest whatsoever in the VFL as a competition.

The introduction of the interstate clubs has been a disaster for the Victorian comp

Three early goals in the 3rd to Dogs.

Makes it a climb of Everest for us.

Dees 34

Dogs 87

Two more Bulldog goals early in the third quarter and it’s all over. The younger blokes are struggling for a kick.

[kev martin 9,323]

Verrall is not a backman, misses a hit up. Then in the ruck on the Dogs arc, taps it to a Dogs player.

Put him forward, and play Farris-White as ruck.

I guess they see him as the first pick ruck, given how much time he has played there, with Bell or Farris-White available.

I am hoping (and that's all it is) the AFL will view and manage the game with a far greater degree of fairness when Gil leaves in a month. 

Now, back to spreading pixie dust with Rosetta and Tinker Bell 🧚‍♀️🧚

Dare we say it... officially a demolition. Jimmy Munro may be having a holiday early next season. Meanwhile Luke's down the pound looking for strays.

They show the Dee's players on the telly.

Where are the AFL Dogs?

Beveridge had them playing for themselves!

Ok Ok the Dogs have finally got their revenge for 2021. Is that Free From Desire I can hear.

I've flicked over to the US open on 9go. Novak is down 2 sets to 1

[KC from Casey 6,673]

George Grey enters the list of Casey goal kickers.

[spirit of norm smith 13,442]

If you leave 7 players out who are eligible and AFL listed… then this is the result.  Casey got stitched up again by MFC 

[DubDee 21,313]

gotta feel sorry for the non afl casey players. Try their guts out every week and then it comes to finals and 8 key players are pulled out due to a BS thursday AFL final

There is also a good chance they don't know the names, nor the cohesion/connection with the add ons.

Major advantage to the Bulldogs who had a rest at the weekend playing against a team coming off a six-day break. Typical VFL - no consideration for a fair competition.

I posted on this regarding the proposal to introduce a Wildcard Round for the AFL (which was rejected by the Club CEOs). Basically the introduction of a Wildcard Round severely advantages the 5th & 6th teams which will probably also have implications for the Semi-Finals, as the losing Qualifying Finalists will be disadvantaged compared to the winning Elimination Finalists (assumng the latter are the 5th & 6th teams).

The situation is further exacerbated by the Wildcard Round being played on Sunday when it should have been played on Saturday. So the 5th & 6th teams not only get a week's break but they play the 7th & 8th teams off 6-day breaks which could have been totally avoided. 

Unlike others I have no problems with Melbourne resting fringe AFL players this week. Obviously they're going to do what maximises their chances of success on Thursday night. Imagine if they had played them for Casey and injuries/concussions had occurred. Much easier and more sensible to manage their loads in a controlled training environment. 

[KC from Casey 6,673]

And AMW goals - Casey’s first of the game from a Melbourne lister!

[Tarax Club 3,196]

TLTL Jefferson and AMW feature up forward. Goal!

[jayceebee31 688]

A very disappointing end to the season.MFC need to take note…cannot play 27 players.23 at best,next Thursday.Some boys just not up to scratch.

Adding insult to injury, Carlton's first choice umpires appear to get a run.

[KC from Casey 6,673]

This game is very similar to last week’s game but in reverse with Casey copping the flogging.

AMW with two goals.

[jayceebee31 688]

Thanks for ALL once again,KC from Casey.We appreciate ALL.
