You have to admire Buggs attitudinal turn around and application, if not his skills

Take out Brown in the first quarter, game set and match !

    Brayshaw's is form

    Hannan and Hunt the same

    I asked at training today

    They are expected to knock the door down at Casey, starting Sunday

    Kent has been rewarded for not only 'attacking' the game last week, even though it was only a praccy game but his training, he has been doing extra and has exceeded all his previous stats

    So much tish , just look at poor old Coburgs team

    If Casey don't win that by 200 points its a poor reflection on what is almost our alternative team !

    If anyone can't " knock the door down " in that MFC team, they should be traded now

    I love Frankston and  HATE the VFL/ AFL

    Sometimes over opiniated Johny Come Latelys miss the big picture !

    Taking the whole family today. Will be very surprised if we don’t win. Even have a bet to wear bunny ears to work on Monday if we don’t.

    Good to hear that Kent is fitter - has good pace and is dangerous around goals. His tank ( and attitude) has always been the problem.

    I asked him straight ou today, I get on really well with him, it is form, has to knock door down at Casey, intends to

    It is another example of what I said pre season, there are no favourites, out of form, back to Casey Hunt being the latest

    If that is true then it would be the first time at the MFC for a very long time Saty.  If so it augers well for the future and prospects going forward.

    Need a bit of depth to be able to carry that strategy of course.

    If you were telling me that after you had seen today's match I would be feeling a lot happier Chook!

    That's why he has been rewarded this week, have a look at the Heartbeat mag, Kent's words from Goody were the only ones with a slightly negative slant 'after an indifferent 2017' 'how he responds'

    He probably saw the writing on the wall and has knuckled down

    His form in the VFL has been really good and he knows if he doesn't perform today, his stay in the AFL team will be short lived

    Bugg does a lot of gut running, team first, things that unfortunately seem to go unnoticed by many here.

    If you look at many of the Demons goals from the highlights package, Bugg is either in or near the goal square, or running into space to create another option. Even though it won’t reflect in his stats at the end of the game, I’m sure this doesn’t go unnoticed by the coaches and his team-mates.

    I personally really like what he brings to the team.

     

    Yep, nailed it.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
