    Sounds like a thriller!

    Certainly was GTG and it came from absolutely nowhere because Bendigo was in control until halfway through the final quarter. That makes seven wins by 10 points or less for Casey and six by a goal or less. Not good for the old ticker!!!

    Flower Power. I just added the goal kickers and best players to the post above from the end of the game.

    Gysberts was probably in Casey's best to half time but was quiet in the third quartermand did a couple of good things in the last. Same goes for Morton although he was the better of the two. Spencer played a great game in the ruck and given the Russian's injury today, he should be back at Melbourne next week. Jack Fitzpatrick played well in patches - he could have kicked four today. One of his misses was a brain fade when he marked 15 metres out, tried to play on and messed upmhis shot for goal.

    Jake Spencer had 45 hit outs and kicked the winning goal. Brent Moloney had 20 touches, 12 clearances and four tackles.

    Other stats: Morton 27, Panozza & Gysberts 26.

    Michael Evans had 19 disposals and two goals in limited game time in his first outing for the year after a back injury.

    Mitch Gent played the first half in the development league game and was called up late to play in the seniors at Windy Hill. He finished the game with 19 disposals and kicked two vital goals in the final quarter.

    The Scorpions defence was strong all day. Troy Davis worked hard down back and took some telling marks, Nev Jetta had 19 disposals, Brayden Salton had 24 touches and Michael Riseley did an important job on a tough opponent.

    With the injury situation at Melbourne it's amazing that the Scorpions keep coming up every week. On top of that they have three of their own best players out with injury - Matthews, Lees and Nicholls - and yet they keep coming up every week with new players who adapt well to the game at this level.

    Fortunately, they have a bye next week to charge the batteries and regenerate.

    No so fortunate for Moloney i don't think - he'll be hard pressed to stake a claim for a recall during a bye. Did he do enough in this game?

    By the way, thanks KC - your Casey news is one of the best things about Demonland and one of the reasons i have switched my VFL allegiance from Port to Casey (is that allowed?)

    Great last quarter. Never say die attitude.

    Spencer will be back next week. Hopefully he takes some confidence from his performance today.

    Another thriller KC! Who were in the BOGs?

    Mitch Gent if you don't mind!

    Big effort - well done young man.

    Great stuff KC.

    Is it just me or did it look a lot like one of his teammates told him to turn and go? It looked like he was facing away from goal and heading back to take a shot, then abruptly turned and ran for it.

    Either way, his first was an absolute gem. Reminded me of a couple of Buddy moments from last year.

    I saw bits of this game - Morton did some nice things as well as some turnovers, Moloney did not dominate and got caught once or twice. Gysberts had his moments.

    I thought Troy Davis looked impressive early until his shoulder went.

  • Quote

    How did Jetta go today, getting closer to a call up? With Bennel out for the season it'll be good to get him in.

    Quick question KC, how much to the Melbourne injuries hurt your chances, especially come finals time?

    Quite a bit.

    I liked Jetta's game today.

    I thought he ran and linked up well. Disposal was good!

    He will defintely play against Port in Darwin next week. He blitzed this game a year or two ago. I think he will rip it up again.

    IN - Jetta, Spencer

    OUT - Bennell, Jamar

    I cant find any other in's unless Dunn or Watts are ready to go.

    Hey KC, was wondering how little Nathan 'Ferret' Page went?

    Really like the look of this little goal sneak. Reckon he might be worth a rookie selection.

    Davis in the best again. Cops a big job in the Magoos each week. I hope he gets a chance soon with the seniors continually losing. Last year at Casey he and Tommy Mac combined well together up back, but this year has carried greater responsibility.

    • 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.

    • 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.
