Surely Magner has to play? What was the point in elevating him and then not playing him despite getting more than 30+ touches for Casey every week.

    Out: Spencer (presuming he's suspended), Rodan, Dunn

    In: Gawn, Magner, Frawley

    How long does Trengove get?

    There were a couple of high balls that any AFL player would have backed themselves to at least try to make a contest, but Trengove knew his plodding speed was no chance. Sad, sure. But I've seen enought.

    And Watts? fmd.

    If Magner doesn't come in, Terls should at least get a go in the midfield. Taggert also a chance depending on the game tomorrow.

    Fair call on Taggert, Davis' kicking is worse than McDonald's so I doubt he will get a game.

    According to the SEN people Watts was pretty good today. Would have been nice if he'd kicked straight, but aside from that they loved him.

    You're bagging Watts' performance? LOL!

    Two of the worst marking contest efforts you're likely to see, dropped an absolute sitter in another, and yeah, he didn't kick straight either.

    SEN must be like half the people on here, and are happy when he gets 15 touches and think he's coming along...

    There's zero improvement there.

    Watts would be a gun forward with a fully fit Mitch Clark and Dawes. I could see him making the same impact as what Jack Gunston makes at hawthorn.

    Sort of, but more his career as a whole thus far.

    Why drop Rodan? He gives us a bit of grunt and adds the vital experience component we require. He is always hard at it and gives his all.

    no, No, NO, NOOOoo.

    We should never give players a game just so we can have a look at them. The need to deserve it, to earn it. We need to take a leaf out of the Swans manual where there young players are made earn it in the reserves before they are even considered, then they are made wait until an opportunity presents, then they have to continue to earn it, and when they finally come in they come in, it is with a mature body and a more importanty a mature mindset.

  • Quote

    Watts was good today. FMD everyone here enjoys giving Watts a beating no matter what he does.

    Given its his what, third game of the past two years as a forward, and given he was without Clark and for all intents and purposes Dawes, he did bloody well.

    GET PEDERSON THE F OUT OF THE SIDE. HE IS MAKING ME WANT TO DIE!

  • Quote

    OUT- Rodan, Pederson

    IN- Frawley, Magner

    personally I don't think spencer will be suspended

  • Quote

    AFL are a joke if Spencer gets suspended, he was going to tackle, that spud McEvoy fumbled it and stuck his head down, Spencer pulled up as best he could, contact was inevitable and caused by McEvoy fumbling.

    Free kick, nothing more.

    Agree on Taggert - has been in the best at Casey once (I think) this year and isn't being played in the midfield. Those that saw him tear it up one game last year before being injured again are way too impatient. He's along way from a senior birth at this stage.

    i assume it's baby steps with him and his injury management this year. If not we have a potentially decent mid going nowhere in the Casey forward line.

    On the subject of Davis - dud kick but way better competitor than Dunn and I'd be happy to see him out there instead (or Pedo)

    Watts looked way more interested in the game than usual. A bit of intensity even (in between the Jack Riewoldt style petulance/diving)

    Disagree, have seen a couple of games with Casey and have been pretty impressed with Taggert. Think he is closer to getting a game than you obviously do.

    I would keep Spencer, Nathan Jones, Toumpas, Garland, Fitzpatrick, Clisby, Watts and Kent. The last 4 of those by a hair of a bees thingamejiggles.

    The rest can go to Casey.

    In The Age best as well, David Parkin on ABC canning him all afternoon.

They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
