Casey Reserves were competitive against top team Williamstown but were swamped in the second half to go down by 46 points.

No Demons in the team.

Quarter Time: Casey 0.7.7 to Williamstown 2.4.16

    Casey trail 4.10.34 to Willy 5.6.36 at half time

    Goals Dunn Hughes Maric Valenti

    Some apalling kicking for goal. Maric kicked into the man on the mark from 15 metres out and Williamstown ran the ball down the ground for a mark and goal to Little. Matthews missed an easy shot just before the siren.

    Should be in front.

    I have a theory about Shane Valenti that he improves as a game goes on. Im that case, Casey will win.

    Seems like Strauss doesn't work hard enough or something.

    He's supposed to be a "run the lines" type player yet is rarely seen. When he does run with the ball he looks promising.

    Where is Mckenzie??

    He hasn't had that much time on the ground to date.

    He was playing was pretty good early, but don't know what happend in the second quarter.

    WHY?

    I really have high hopes for him, the more time with casey the more chance he has to prove he can play with the dees.

    Hughes has been good.

    I agree.

    Dunn and Valenti are too good for this level.

    Wheatley must be close

    Bell is finished

    and it is the best I have seen Bartram kick the ball.

    No one is really starring.

    Maric fine.

    They have Willy covered comfortably now.

    You'll have to ask Peter German.

    He's been OK (how good is his tackling!), but you can really tell that many of the experienced Melbourne players with Casey today, are there because they have disposal issues.

    Dunn is so frustrating. Absolutely brilliant at this level, but cannot transfer that to AFL.

    Maric has had a hand in plenty of goals. He is a very smart player, and never should have been dropped when we desperately lack small forwards.

    Edit: great goal from Straussy. He is such a good user of the ball, but doesn't seem to get a lot of it.

    Another Edit: Cloke has certainly been enjoying his burgers since his early demise.

    gee strauss looked good and kicked a great goal on the run from 50m

    How old is Mohr? Rookie chance??

    1 point, 25 in.

    Hughes shot at goal bounces away for a point, down by 4 points 31 minutes

    Is there a skills coach at Melbourne?

    He must also be looking after the Scorpians.

    Unfortunately, I saw nothing from any of the Melbourne listed players that would suggest they're good enough to play AFL.

    Valenti was very good in the 3/4 of the game I saw.

    He's a very good VFL player, but far too slow for AFL...

    Although you could say that about Melbourne's entire midfield list.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
