    It's all over but not in the usual way. Both teams have agreed to call time early in the last quarter with the Casey Demons winning by 6 goals. A huge downpour, wild winds and lightning have conspired to bring the game to a premature end. The score remained unchanged from ¾ time.

    With Gawn out Spencer is an automatic inclusion.

    Hannan Weideman and Harmes are in the gun for me.

    Anyone know how our players went today??

    This from the AFL site:

    "Jake played [for Casey] today and he's the second ruck and the logical option, but we'll sit down during the week and assess what we're going to do," Goodwin said.

    Spencer had around 30 hit-outs, 12 disposals and kicked a goal for Casey in its 31-point victory over Werribee in a VFL practice match on Saturday.  

    Footnote:  Apparently the match was called off just after 3/4 time because of thunder storms.

    Kielty will have to play FP or first ruck. Maybe Harmes will go back.

    Why doesn't the Melbourne Football Club make a request the the VFL starts when the AFL starts their season.The WAFL starts two weeks prior to the AFL,since they have only 8 teams they play each other 3 times. How can you pick backup players on form if their season starts rd3 to rd4 of the AFL season. Other Victorian based sides should band together a protest. The development league is worst.

    Remembering that the game was shortened due to very bad weather:

    Ruckman Jake Spencer seems the most logical replacement for the injured Max Gawn, who sustained a right hamstring injury against Geelong.

    Spencer lined up in Casey's final pre-season practice game and had 30 hit-outs, 12 touches and kicked a goal in the 31-point win.

    Casey coach Justin Plapp told AFL.com.au on Sunday that Spencer dominated the hit-outs and "was able to mark the ball really well around the ground".

    Plapp said defender Sam Frost looked a lot more comfortable in his second game back from a toe injury, as he continues to build match fitness.

    The Casey coach added omitted midfielder Angus Brayshaw (25 disposals) was clean by hand at ground level and "showed signs of what we need him to be doing contest to contest".

    MFC alone wouldn't be taken notice of but if the whole Vic based clubs protested possibly there could be some traction

    It's half time in the Development League game with the Demons in front

    Casey Demons 5.7.37 6.8.44

    Williamstown 1.1.7 3.7.25

    As usual, the wind will be an influence today.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
