I have noticed that Johnson's name has been appearing in the best players for Casey a few times. I know he is coming back from an injury but what about him coming in next week for pettard. Jamar looks dangerous when he is foward but he can't do both. Im more confident with Johnson in the ruck than Spencer. I know Watts will be in the VFL for a few more weeks. But if Johnson came back in he and Jamar could rotate in the foward line and ruck work.

    i heard Johnson played most of his junior footy in the forward line. he would provide a good backup option for jamar.

    I would rather see some pace brought in rather than another tall. If you really wanted him in I think Martin would have to be dropped.

    Has he been that good for Casey?

    Martin cannot take a mark. Johnson is a good option.

    Don't know that he's a good option, but he might be a better option than Martin, who seems to be going backwards.

    Based on what I saw yesterday at Southport, I think Stef is probably the better option of the two at the moment. But, thought Johnson did some good things yesterday. But, not enough to demand selection ahead of Stef, in my humble opinion. Johnson sure is a big unit! Didn't realise how big until I saw him amongst the other players yesterday! Would be nice to see him step up another gear and make a contribution as the season progresses.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
