There is also no seating on the wing. All of them go, MCC and AFL. Bay 15 was the closest we got to the wing, with those gone leaving bay 13, (some are more equal than others). Quite often that bay goes to the other team, leaving the wingers in 12 or 11.

There has been a rule, that if AFL team in finals, then if player has had at least one game in VFL, they may be eligible for VFL team. Can only find old rules from 2011 and 2016. They have different final structures. VFL qualifications is a rabbit's Warren of words, rules and sub-clauses.

This one? Though unclear as the bye and beginning of the VFL finals series has changed since 2016 https://websites.mygameday.app/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-118-0-0-0&sID=277333

What a great time to be a Dees fan. Loved our second half of our H&A season. Got the pundits on side. Who have dropped the Pies, after their love child went down (J Daicos). We play, Thursday week, so the wait isn't too bad. We are at the "G", for some redemption from last year. We have a tough team, who will not roll over, in it up to the "eyeballs", as they say. Get Possessed (MFC finals branding theme), Go Dees.

Do it twice.

Not so great for the Casey team, but could help AFL players having a run. If a Sunday game then a 4 day turn around would be difficult. At least now they get the 5 day break, and perhaps with some calculated minutes, our fringe players may get a look at playing in the Possessed game (MFC final branding term). TMac, JJ, Schache, Spargo, Grundy, Tomlinson (BBB, Woey, AMW), possible inclusions. Could they put Fritta or Hibbo in for half a game. Though Fritta looked matched ready against Sydney.

Anyone have an idea, the cost to the tickets for the finals game against the Colly?

Liked our win, and the period starting near the end of the third to the end of the 4th quarter. The fumbling in the early parts of the game worried me. I wanted to see crisp, clean footy. We're a powerful team and outmuscled the bloods. Turner worked his way into an OK game. Love his extender arms when spoiling from behind. Fritta's leading patterns are hard to stop, didn't miss a beat. Hard edged, with will power, and self belief. Not pretty, but effective as we win the territory battle. Played reasonably on a small oval, we are best on the big ones, I reckon. Looks like a few of the MFC team are carrying some niggles. Good time for a mini break. Bad luck we don't get two extra days, like the favoured ones do.

No idea, but Melky was ready to have a great finals series. Hope it was only a twinge/pinch, and the pictures come back without serious damage.

Amazed that Nth have only about 6, 7 AFL listed players. Well done TMac, doing everything he can for an AFL spot. Harmes looks off. Spargo still plenty to offer. Grundy making an early impact. JJ goes about it well.

Anyone know the team sheet for Casey today? Nothing posted on Casey website.

Looks like Colly will win against Tigers (VFL). Tiges in similar position as us, AFL playing today, so not all players available.

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".

Is there snow!

I am not a father. I guess that is why I have time on my hands. Bit of a conscientious objector. Not wrapped with where I see society heading.

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

No split, on my old LED.

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.

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?

Yes, agree about the concussion protocol, and us possibly given "rasberries" by the AFL.

I am not too concerned with that. Our routine for a long break is 12 days. A loss and we get a longer break than the opponent. Win and we won't know what to do with our time (good recovery time going into prelim). I know, one game at a time!

I thought they may have put Tommo into Casey so as to have an experienced backman there, and to make it more probable that Casey have a game when MFC have a bye. As others have said, not much between him and Disco. So with Tommo as emergency, there goes that theory.

Did the AFL actually schedule this blockbuster, Friday night footy contest, not too long ago.
