Chris Connolly was on the TAC show today and mentioned that tomorrow's game will be the first time these four will have played with each other. This sort of crept up without much discussion but whether we win or lose it's going to be great watching this quintessential quartet develop together. What's so great about them is that each one is completely different and their strengths compliment each other, throw Grimes in as well and you have the basis of a great midfield for over a decade.

Exciting times!!

he also talked about jack fitzpatrick and said he will be a champion of the club.

lets hope so!!

Yeah, heard that as well. Interesting that he highlighted a kid who is currently learning his craft for Casey 2nd's, the FD must really rate him.

His comments about Watts was also interesting. Basically he was asked how Watts' attitude with training compared to Scully and Trengove and he replied that he is learning how to train hard. He then went on to say that it was hard to compare him to those two because their attitude is exceptional and they're pretty much already leaders around the club, they want to win a premiership and they won't except anything but the best from the other players.

The Fitzpatrick comment was interesting.

He was super confident making that statement.

Would be good if it comes true.

Big call if you ask me.

His kicking is very suspect IMO, particularly if he is to become a forward.

Watch for somebody to think that means "Jack Watts' attitude is terrible and he has no leadership ability around the club, he doesn't want to win a premiership and is happy to accept anything from other players."

What I'd like to see today is for Dees to show as much faith in their young players as Richmond, Freo & Essendon have and have at least 3 of these 4 on the ball at all times during the game. No chance of it happening, but I'd like to see it.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
