Practice Match - Melbourne v Hawthorn @ Casey Fields

Featured Replies

If anyone sees hogan today can u ask him when he thinks he may be back?

 

this is more than just a practice match

Very important game today for a lot of reasons

Over the last couple of years you got the feeling the team was already beaten before they even ran out. Obviously having your best 22 on the ground goes a long way but that fact that we don't doesn't mean we can't be competitive as we have shown over recent weeks. We are starting to build some real depth on the list. We need a repeat of our effort against the Cats today. Even without our trio of missing talls, if we play like we have been we can be 4 and 1 after 5 rounds. We have enough talent to beat the Saints, Giants, Suns and Carlton. By then our forwards should be looking at returning. Confidence and momentum are important so we need to gain some from today's game.
 

what time does the game start lads?


1pm I believe it is.

Thanks mate

Guys I'm in Thailand so can't make it. Lots of progress reports/updates in this thread would be much appreciated thanks.

Thailand?

Send my regards to Ketut please.

 

so there is no way we can watch it online?

I don't think so. Our best bet is someone giving updates on here or following the Dees twitter account.

id prefer here, the dees twitter account isn't as brutally honest.

True, but I don't think they have the freedom to be as brutally honest as we want them to be. They give the score updates pretty quickly but I'll certainly be here for the game summaries from those who went.

Thailand?

Send my regards to Ketut please.

Ketut actually lives in Melbourne

Ketut actually lives in Melbourne

... with Rhonda


Ketut actually lives in Melbourne

there are a lot of ketuks in thailand stuie

just like there are lots of stuies in scotland

Just get through with no injuries


Could have sworn Ketut was Balinese

Early update is Hawks 6, us 0. Howe and Trengove have both had shots on goal but not scored from either. Not much else to go on at this stage.

Thailand?

Send my regards to Ketut please.

I don't think Bali is in Thailand... besides, I heard Ketut is living in Ringwood.

 

score is 7 - 1 in Hawks favour after 10 mins... Trengove had a set shot but put it out on the full.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
