I think we'll need to wait for real opposition before determining the true form of any Melbourne listed players vying for a spot in the 22.

Obvious? Sure.

But I hope posters don't get too excited by numbers etc from this game. 

Agreed. But it's good to see them really put away opposition. I want that ruthless edge in the senior team.

    Poster on Bigfooty reporting that Rawlings was having a chat with Brayshaw at the break trying to give him a lift. Said that Gus was playing okay but looking a bit dejected.

    Have watched Gus closely at a few VFL games and he always wears a serious face on the bench. A big contrast to say JKH who is full of infectious enthusiasm when on the bench. Not sure there is anything to read into it but I hope Gus does enjoy his footy.

    Went down the road for a look. It is hard to guage our performances due to the fact that Frankston were shizenhausen.

    Brayshaw looked uninterested but played okay.

    Frost was good at half back and was short passing the ball alot.

    Hannan was average.

    Kent good in the second half.

    The weed looked good today. Did some ruck work as well.

    Baker looked okay but has to learn to control the ball better.

    Spargo looks lively but is small.

    King looks like he can do a bit in the forward line on top  of rucking.

    There wasn't a bad player actually but as i said the opposition were no good.

    Did Billy Stretch play or is he in QLD?

    Stretch didn't play. Didn't see Maynard as well.

    I'm guessing you didn't notice Balic ?

    Final score:  Casey 21.18.144  Frankston  5.3.33

    Goals:  Kent 4, Weideman 3, Hannan 2, Scott 2, T.Smith 2, Lefau 2, King 2, Brayshaw 1, Kennedy-Harris 1, Filipovic 1, Dwyer 1.

    Thought Frost and Kent were outstanding. Brayshaw tried hard and did some sublime things. Petty, Baker & Spargo all showed promise.

    nice size too 

    He doesn't look that big in the photos's does he, he looks like a well balanced Mid.

    I had no idea he is that tall.

     

    What i see is a balanced skilled kid, with fierce desire. Elite levels in tests.  And just beginning.  He 's a must.

    We don't get that many opportunities like this, I think.

    Likewise.

    although I’m not sure Bouiji Boy would enjoy John Wayne representing D-evolutionary theory!

    i agree. i got those measurements from a newspaper article.

    he did get 100cm in the running jump. niknak has the record at 102cm so he must be reasonably tall to do that

    How did Johnstone and Keilty go?

    Mykelti Lefau seems to be going well - any chance that he could be rookied as a Category B as an international player (born in NZ, I believe).

    hope so.

    Don’t blame him. Playing at that level is beneath him and a waste of his time. If he was at any other AFL club he’d be getting a game this weekend. Unfortunately he is at Melbourne and the selection panel here has proven to make repeated mistakes and ruin development of elite young talent. 

    Hopefully he cracks the senior side soon and never has to look back.

    Name a young player we’ve ruined by playing in the 2’s for too long in the last decade? Always the opposite.

    At training Gus has shown flashes of good Footy but has always regularly made bad turnovers and hasnt shown a lot of zip. He’s missed a lot of games with injuries the last two years. A couple of weeks or even a month or so in the twos won’t hurt him

    Is there a player remotely close to the fringe that 1) you like? 2) you want to do well?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
