    Got to love it when MFC and Casey both play on Sunday - 13 man interchange. And obviously at least two of those players won't play due to being selected in the MFC side.

    Hope Neal-Bullen gets a run. It would be a shame (for me, because I'm impatient) if his momentum got broken purely because the development league has a bye.

    Reckon that at least three wont play. Casey play at noon and Melbourne just after 1pm. Reckon one of the emergencies will stay at the G at least until the bounce in case of an injury in the warm up. Has happened before.

    It would be even better as a curtain raiser.....

    Roh Bail named for Casey, so concussion presumably not the reason he didn't get a senior call-up.

    Strange that Grimes is named in Casey side as well as Melbourne starting 18.

    Also interesting the Fitz is named in the forward line - I know named sides mean little but perhaps a signal of a change (perhaps to replace Pedersen/Spencer as forward ruck and giving O.McDonald a role down back).

    Disappointing the Dev Tean don't play. Really sucks that Max King and Mitch White are fit but can't play a game of footy.

    Most disappointing thing for me is that we will run out to play Essendon, as though they are sportsmen like us, competing at the same thing as us. What a sham! Everyone seems complicit in the denial, even us. I just can't get onto that page.

    "Get over it"? That's Essendon's line.

    Totally agree Robbie

    And are we certain that they are sill not using some alternative performance enhancing substances but just making sure their internal records are not maintained.

    So many situations that have not been adressed or at least advised.

    Hoping fitzy continues his development down back , a replacement when required for our most important player imo Tmac , who else is there?

    some notable delistings here:

    Bail, Spencer, Fitzpatrick, Pedersen, Terlich

    please, can't we have that conversation at the end of the season?

    With Cam Pedersen out in place of the injured Chris Dawes at Melbourne it looks like Billy Stretch is the emergency going to the G, the Scorps look considerably weakened compared to last week's losing line up.

    James Harmes looking good with 2 early goals. Casey lead by a point.

    It's quarter time and Casey was strong late in the term to edge away to a 13 point lead.

    Can someone tell me more about James Harmes?

    Is he a prospect to get a game this year or is he a long-term project? Inside mid? Outside mid?

    The Bombers worked hard with the aid of the breeze to get back to within 5 points at the main break.

    Thanks KC

    How are Toump and ANB going?

    Both are going well. ANB could be a surprise packet if he stays healthy.

    Bombers getting a few goals late in the game. Lead now 34 points.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
