Did read an article in the local rag by Greg Gliddon,about this up coming game and that casey can play as many afl listed players as they like cause stkilda are in the finals........mmmm...
I thought that regardless that wasn't the case??
Anyway the Scorpions probably havent had over 11 or 12 AFL listed players for a lot of the games during the season, that won't be an issue.
Prediction- Casey by 4 goals mainly due to the home ground

Pretty sure that's incorrect. It's 12-10 for all finals.
Yes, I'm sure it is 12-10 for the finals.
The issue about St Kilda players is that, for as long as St Kilda is alive in the AFL finals, there is no requirement regarding the number of games which had to have been played in the VFL during the year.
Read the same article from Giddon and he is wrong. As an aside the VFL should put the rules regarding finals up on their website, last week I was searching for clarification RE: the rule that allows AFL players to qualify if they have missed several consectutive weeks through injury. Still not 100% sure how it works.
Really looking forward to the game. The Bullants have a modest record at Casey Fields but finals are different and a tight contest can be expected. The Bullants will go into the game with three ruckman [Jacobs, Ackland and Hampson] and Colbert so if anything the big ground should suit.
The Bullants have struggled to win the contested ball all season and will need to be at least competitive in this area. At times they've conceeded almost double the clearances of opponents and been very close to winning, anything close to break even and the Bullants will win.
This week is the Bullants Grand-Final and they can cause the boilover of week one by winning by around two goals.
Scorps by lots...45 points
Bullants by 17 pts. Ackland 8 goals.
