    The good news about this team selection from Melbourne's point of view is that our injury list is diminishing with three of four players listed as "test" being passed fit. In addition, Tom McNamara has also come off the injury list and has been selected to play in the Casey twos. Jeremy Howe is the only player listed as a "test" on the injury list not selected so Melbourne now has only six players out of action:-

    Robert Campbell (achilles) - 6-8 weeks

    Troy Davis (thyroid disorder) - ongoing

    Jeremy Howe (ankle) - 1 week

    Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 5 weeks

    Cale Morton (hand) - 1 week

    Tom Scully (knee) - 3 weeks *

    Casey has a couple of handy small men missing in skipper Kyle Matthews and Danny Nicholls.

    I would have gone if they played this on Saturday afternoon but a trip out to Casey Fields on a Saturday night is a bit of a stretch.

    * probably longer according to some reports.

    Meanwhile, Brendan Fevola was sent off the ground in his first outing with new club Narre Warren. He received a yellow card and was sent from the field with three minutes left in the match for "scrapping with a Noble Park opponent who was also yellow carded and headed for the bench with a bloodied mouth."

    Fevola kicked three goals two behinds.

    The Scorps have fought their way back into the game and now lead by 11 points. A totally dominant quarter and the lead could have been greater but for inaccuracy in front of goal.

    Casey Scorpions 8.13.61 lead Geelong 7.8.50.

    Great news! Go scorps!

    What was the reason for the turn around?

    This might sound trite but the Scorps took over completely in the ruck and the midfield and gave Geelong no chance. Gysberts and Aussie were superb. Maxy Gawn's ruckwork was excellent. They didn't score until late in the quarter and that was just a couple of points.

    How is Blease and Gysberts traveling and Wona?

    Comfortable 27 point win to the Scorps in the end.

    Casey Scorpions 1.1.7 4.6.30 8.13.61 13.14.92

    Geelong 5.2.32 7.6.48 7.8.53 9.11.65

    Jordan Gysberts got a lot of it in the middle. Aussie had a very good game, especially after half time and Juice booted five goals.

    Must go to a function I'm about an hour late for but will fill in some details if I can later tonight or tomorrow morning.

    Wow, 9.8 to 2.5 in the last half! Can't wait for the details.

    Good win by the Scorps.

    Players that stood out to me:-

    Jordan Gysberts - Got a heap of the ball, could get a call up next week.

    Michael Evans - Got better as the game went on, looks like a player.

    Tom McDonald - Love him! Needs to work on his kicking but reads it so well, great mark, moves well. Will get a call up this year, I'm tipping.

    Max Gawn - Getting better every time I see him, took some nice contested grabs, good ruck work but will need time.

    Aussie - Played a real good game, moved into the midfield In the 2nd half and made a big influence.

    Kelvin Lawrence - Was flashy but a bit wasteful, could have kicked 3 or 4 but missed a few opportunities. Bright pink boots!

    They were my best for Casey.

    I know a few will ask about Sam Blease - My opinion on Bleasey is that he always does 3 or 4 great things during a game. He goes on a long run or a great chase or kicks a long running goal from 50 but apart from that you don't see him much. Needs to work on finding more of the ball which I'm sure he will as hes still young and hasnt played a heap of footy. Definitely has a bright future.

    All sounds good. Competition for senior spots will make the team play better.

    Thanks J-Riv & KC appreciated.

    A total of 14 Demons played for Casey in tonight's game with Joel Macdonald being the only emergency player missing and therefore likely to fill the role tomorrow.

    Maric would want a big game tonight considering Aussie is ready to come back.

    Hoping MacDonald is only on standby rather than replacing Chip in the lineup.

  • Quote

    Aussie is a footballing talent. I would like to see him in the side ASAP. I think this is important for him to get another taste at the moment.

  • Quote

    Nice to hear the scorps got up!

    Let us hope some of these guys can continue to build form and put pressure on the players in our senior squad.

    I also went and I think.

    Tom McDonald will be a beauty as the year goes on.

    Wonna lit up the midfield, got the Scorps going.

    Newton, well blow me down, chased, made some great leads, total change from last year.

    Blease, christ he can run but agree with an earlier post tends to flow in and out.

    Gawn, now here is a prospect in the making when he gets over his injuries and grows into his body, hell could be our best ruckman that we have had for many years (sorry Jamar) he is a very good tap ruckman.

    Gysberts coming along after a slow start to the season.

    Bate, what a shadow of a footballer don't know what will happen to him throughout the season.

    And to the Casey boys well done to all of you.

    I like the thought of wonna in the midfield, hope Gysberts will play soon. Blease just needs game time. I wonder if Newton is starting to show something?

    Newton 5 goals. Good on you Juice, take your opportunity.

    It's good the Juice is playing well, because with the new ruck rule we won't be able to play Jamar or Spenser or Gawn in the same team. One of Juice and Martin will be in the team throughout the year, and if they can contribute around the ground that will be important.

    I'd love to see Wona and Gysberts play 15+ games this year to continue their developement.

    I'd like to see Blease get 8+ games to start his development.

    I wouldn't be against McDonald and Evans play 3-4 games this year to get a taste. Hopefully Howe if he can come on as well.

    If Newton keeps this up, then it's going to be hard for Fev to force his way into the side.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
