Am l correct in assuming that Charles Spargo won’t be playing?

Any news about him?

Word is he won’t be playing again this season 🙁

 

I'll be looking forward to this one as part of an AFLW and VFL weekend extravaganza. The only thing better than going into a weekend optimistic about a win is going into a weekend optimistic about two wins!

For those travelling down to Frankston, remember to bring your pingers.

In this case, not a euphemism for [euphemism], but a 'active-interactive predation deterrent device' used to keep dolphins away from fishing nets.

But seriously, take care, I hear the crowd can be a bit different down there.

A huge contest awaits at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night as Frankston host Casey Demons for the chance to meet Southport in a preliminary final.

The Dolphins were no match for a dominant Footscray last Saturday in their first Melbourne final in 17 years, scoring just three goals as their eight-game unbeaten run came to an end.

The heavy defeat was soured further by a suspension to star playmaker George Grey which will see him miss the remainder of the season.

After an injury-interrupted start to the season, Grey had begun hitting his straps across the final three home and away games, where he kicked six goals and averaged more than 20 disposals.

Despite last week’s forgettable performance, it would come as no surprise to see this proud Dolphins outfit bounce back in front of a big home crowd on Saturday night.

Frankston holds an 8-1-1 record at home this year, with all wins coming under lights. Their opponents Casey boast an impressive 3-0 record in night games this year, but haven’t played under lights since beating Werribee at Mission Whitten Oval in Round 16.

Taine Barlow and Tyson Milne were two shining lights in defence for Frankston during the heavy loss to the Bulldogs and will play key roles in limiting Casey’s high scoring ability.

Corey Ellison, Noah Gown and Matt Johnson have combined for 112 majors this year and will be looking to atoned for a quite day last week, where the trio was contained to a combined tally of 18 disposals and one major.

Meanwhile captain Trent Mynott made a successful return from injury last week in his first game since Round 14 and was one of his side’s three goalkickers. He has kicked majors in eight of his 13 games in 2025 and his leadership will be crucial in such an important game.

It will be no easy feat to get past the most in-form side of the competition outside of Footscray, with Casey making a statement in its 76-point thrashing of Williamstown in last week’s elimination final.

The victory came off a scintillating seven-goal effort from youngster Noah Yze, who will be one to watch again come Saturday night following a breakout performance against the Seagulls. He’d previously only kicked eight VFL games before the elimination final.

The midfield battle will be pivotal if the Demons are to prevail over the Dolphins for the first time since Round 3, 2023.

Bailey Laurie, Blake Howes and Mitch Hardie all had north of 25 disposals last week, while Tom Campbell continues to dominate in the ruck and has recorded 22 clearances in his past two matches.

Last week’s win was Casey’s first finals victory since the 2022 Grand Final triumph and there is no question the past two months have been the club’s most impressive since their premiership victory.

While it will be a tough task to silence Frankston and its passionate home faithful, Casey has every reason to feel confident it can bank consecutive finals victories to set up a clash next week against the team it beat in the 2022 premiership decider.

We have maintained the same number of AFL-listed players (15) as last week, with Charlie Spargo being sidelined due to what is likely a season-ending shoulder injury, while Will Verrall has recovered from illness and returns to the side. Casey listed Tooradin youngster Jesse Craven has been included at the expense of Tyson Sruk.

Huge test v Frankston at their fortress this year. Plenty of talent on both teams but the AFL listed players at the Dees need to exert themselves. Dees need to silence the feral crowd and get in top early.

Are Mynott and Milne related to the former St Kilda players?

Interesting that George Grey has been a star for them. He played for Casey, didn’t he, in the past. He was good, but not a star, I thought, and I don’t think he kicked bags of goals. I always thought Corey Ellison was pretty good for Casey…. a better mark overhead than most of our AFL listed players. I wonder if Jed Adams will be on him.

He was on crutches at the last match.

VFL and VFLW will include a team from Tasmania next year. Games to be split between Hobart and Launceston with a possibility of a game in Penguin (the home of the Big Penguin).

Well, if the Bullants survive, then we might even up with less byes.

Pumped for this match! A prelim is only one game away

It would mean so much to the players to see and hear lotsa love and support… LOUD love and support, from lotsa peeps.

Frankston is a much nicer suburb than folks let on. Please come and make the seedy side of life your friend! 😃

See y’all there!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

GO OUT THERE AND GIVE ‘EM HELL!

Are there any AFL listed players in Frankston’s team?

??? AFL listed ? they are not an AFL aligned club !!! They have a few ex AFL listed players who didn’t quite make it and they have some youngsters who deserve to be on a AFL list. Watch out for guys like Gown up forward, Ellison of course, Murphy and Hamill as mids and ball carriers plus Voss and Blamires to break the lines. Some quality VFL players there. Casey should be too good but the Dolphins at home have always been hard to beat.

Meanwhile, Box Hill beat the Brisbane Lions on the last kick of the day.

Was it from a free kick? Would be very on brand for the Hawks

watching the first quarter against the giants, they were getting the best umpiring run ive seen all year. never seen a side go into a contest ducking and lowering their body as much as the hawks. shame umpires are so poor now they get away with it.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
