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.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
