Says a lot about Ablett that he can only make the interchange bench at Werribee!

 

Jetta straight back in to the seniors is a pleasant surprise. No development league this week?

I agree Nasher, and I'd love him to play where he is named in the BP. I reckon he could carve out a fair career as a small, deep defender. Disciplined, hard at it, reads the play well and very good overhead for his size. Not the quickest and not the greatest kick, but would be very dependable imo. If he's going to make it, the BP may be his go.

Jetta and gysberts back playing footy, you beauty!

Williams has come a long way, from where he has come from and his illness earlier this season to be playing vfl is a good effort

It probably says that McKinley is a better prospect as starting key forward than Nathan I would have thought.

Nathan Ablett won a flag and i dare say if he never quit and had the passion/desire that his brother has, he would've had a very very good (if not great) career.

May be worth keeping an I on?

No thanks, he seems like a list clogger to me. I'd rather we give the spots on our list to players that have proven that they have a desire to play in the AFL rather than those who take it for granted.

He is going to be some player this kid.

Any reason in particular that Sheahan is on the extended bench/development squad (other than poor form, of course)?

Great to see Jetta back!

He has had a good season up to the last couple of games where he has struggled. He is a good player this kid with a lot of upside so I hope they keep with him.

I wonder why some of the MFC's extended bench aren't also listed for Casey?

Looks like there will be 2 emergencies who don't get a game

Wouldn't be surprised to see 1-2 late changes to the side, especially with Spencer named in the 25. Bail's availability would rest on the neurological tests to be run today, I believe.

DC as I understand it the emergencies travel to interstate games in case someone comes down sick etc on the morning of the game.

I remember Davey and two others travelled to Perth earlier in the year as emergencies.

There was talk at the time they might get the late flight back to play with Casey.

That never happened so they played for neither side that weekend.

There is the added problem this weekend with the start of school holidays that the flights are booked solid.

I am going to Brisbane tomorrow morning and tried to change flights.

No seats in any class Saturday or Sunday.

So no chance of rushing someone to brisbane.

OK. And Jack also added to question mark over Jamar/Bail failing fitness tests

Must mean things looking good for #7

Grimesy, I didn't say recruit him.

I suggested watching him closely... the guy has huge talent, but needs to be watched to see if he has the desire. Nothing more.

That is fair enough. I doubt he'll ever get back into the AFL though.


Nathan Ablett could barely get a kick when he was playing for Broadbeach, let alone in the AFL. He is finished. He was given every opportunity at the Suns, and if he wasn't going to make it there playing besides Gary, he is done.

Nath Ablett has all the talent in the world, but not the personality.

His general nature is far too passive and only ever wanted to play footy to have fun with his mates.

The determination to succeed has never been there.

That is fair enough. I doubt he'll ever get back into the AFL though.

I do to, but if he's true about what he said, having a real dip.. We'd be foolish to not follow his progress.

He could be a cheaper option as backup to Clarke than Cloke, as we wait for Watts Cook to grow into they're bodies.

These attitudes can change as some grow. As does an Open mind.

Nothing ventured.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
