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

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.

Where are the AFL Dogs?

Beveridge had them playing for themselves!

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

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. 


TLTL Jefferson and AMW feature up forward. Goal!

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.

 

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
