    Really pleased for King. Hopefully the development league form translates.

    JKH playing in the dev league. Suggests to me he's at least 3 weeks away from being fit enough for MFC selection - this game will be a 50%er I reckon, to be followed by a limited game in the seniors and a full game in the seniors at least.

    Kennedy-Harris in the Development League??

    And Harmes??

    Yes, I understand there's a truckload of players to come out of the line-up but puleese, Harmes is named in the starting 18.

    I can't see he did much wrong last week.

    I 'll assume JKH has spent a month on the couch with his groin grief

    Yep, I'm assuming JKH is for fitness, as per my post above.

    There's no way Harmes will play in the DL, surely. Suspect they just had to name someone.

    Edit: All of the extended seniors bench are named in the starting 18 for the DL except for Gent, Morris, White and the 23rd player Hannon. So if you take out four MFC players and take those four as a given, there are three spots available, of which Harmes will surely be one.

    Surely not and I hope that's the case with Harmes.

    Some of the other names in the DL, indicate it should change? Rutherford, Munro etc

    Gotcha!

    PS Question for KC:

    Walmsley started the season in pretty good form (IMO).

    He seems to have disappeared. Has he been injured or finding it hard to get a seniors birth?

    Thanks

    Anyone getting there early, would love to hear any report of how Hunt goes please!

    I will be interested to hear from KC and others how much time King plays ruck vs how much Jamar does.

    And of course how he acquits himself at a higher level.

    If he gets more time than Jamer it may be a message to Mark that he is on the way out - if that message hasn't been sent already.

    Spencer will most likely play too (pending MFC selection) - if that's the case I expect King will play the whole game as a full forward.

    We need King to be a good forward and a decent ruckman more than we need him to be a good ruckman anyway, IMO. A David Hale circa 2012/2013 type should be his ambition.

    Probably some time for him at CHF as well given Dawes will likely be on restricted minutes.

    Rucks can be found pretty easily, I think capable forward/2nd ruck types who can function as part of a proper forward line and give ruck relief are much harder to find and more valuable, so I agree if King can be a good forward then at 200cm we can train him to battle in the ruck.

    Not sure that rucks can be found so easily but you are right about the forward/ruck. Most clubs are looking to fill this one...

    I think he has that message already mono

    The only way I see him back at AFL level is injury to Spencer and Gawn.

    He does not offer as much as either of them.

    Like many of those who were at the pre season practice games, Walmsley looked exceptional as an outside running player with a bit of skill. I think he was suited to the conditions and the lower game pressure during that period and might not have adjusted that well when the real thing started and opposition clubs started fielding full teams with a lot of AFL listed and experience. I think he probably needs time to get used to the higher standard of play compared to the SFL competition where he played last year.

    An example of teams going up a notch in pressure and standards, one of the practice matches was against Werribee who fielded a fairly weak line up and they were slaughtered that week by Casey. Werribee is now in the VFL top four.

    Justin Plapp summed up Jayden Hunt's game last week on the mfc site as follows:-

    "Jayden Hunt: Hunty missed the majority of the pre-season, so he’s still building. We haven’t got a lot of pressure on him at the moment – we just want to increase his game time. We’re adding things to his game and he’s got some great assets in his offensive side of his game. We’re encouraging him to take the game on, but we’re also refining a few things. Hunty’s on the right track and he continues to grow as well. He’s a good kid and listens as well."

    Reading between the lines, this means that he's progressing very slowly if at all. I'm not sure if he's going to make it.

    Are Casey games streamed online or do they just upload the game afterwards?

    I'm only aware of one game this season that was streamed direct and that was earlier in the season when Casey played Essendon VFL.

    Since then, it's been difficult finding any publicity or TV or radio broadcasts of Casey games for some reason - Casey Radio covers other games and we're not popular with the 7 programmers either.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
