Jones - willed the win

Jetta - some incredible plays

Frost - steady and importantĀ 

Hibberd - desperation was vitalĀ 

O. McDonald - seemingly no errors

Fritsch - versatile and calm

Melksham - was always dangerousĀ 

Hannan - perfect opportunist’s game

T.McDonald - great both ends

Weideman - career best game

Harmes - wonderful all gameĀ 

Kent - better than GarlettĀ 

Brayshaw - wonderful in close

VandenBerg - was important early

Neal-Bullen - great grunt work

Gawn - was our catalyst

Lewis - slow but professionalĀ 

Oliver - was supreme throughout

Petracca - true team game

Salem - disposal was precise

Spargo - out of depth

Tyson - regularly slowed momentumĀ 

Ā 

Spargo playing maybe his 15th game. I think he has had a great first season, and while he wasn't brilliant today, he wasn't disgraced. Think you're being a little harsh.

A lot of Tyson's touches today were very effective.Ā  He played a very good game despite a couple of stereotypical Dom floaters.

 

The defence : Magnificent

Midfielders : Gave a lot

Forwards : Very good.

Weiderman : Best game ,provided marking/competitive option.

Lewis : Cool Head Luke

Jetta :Build a statue

Brayshaw : Leave your hat on. You are too essemtial to us .

Oliver : Best phonebox footballer ever ( Never ever thought I would quote BT)


I think you have been very kind this week Joe Boy. AsĀ you should

Ā LOVE YOU DEES!

CLARRY YOU STAR.

Captain courageousĀ Jonesy.

All mighty Jetta.

MilkshakeĀ  Ā Mr Fix it.

WeidĀ  Ā  Turned the corner

MY FOGGY GLASSES !

Agree he has a crack and uses it well , will be a 100- 200 game player

Spargo was very ordinary and should not be in the side.

A lot of us said he needed the rest and JKH should have played instead.

They ran the ball out of our forward line without any pressure and that was his role and ANB's.

Spargo as I said before will be a good player for us.

As for ANB he is a game killer for us. His turnovers and fumbles are so momentum shifting.

I don't know about his grunt work I hardly saw him lay a tackle, or get close to an opponent, except when he had the ball and then turned it over.

Anyway well done guys you deserve your finals chance after a very good year.

Win next week and we get the chance to payĀ backĀ the Cats on the G.

Proffer a replacement that will stand scrutiny or keep quiet and support the kid

JKH should never play a game again list clogger I'd take Spargo any day of the week over him. Spargo wasn't too bad.

I said stand scrutiny

Just now, Satyriconhome said:

Your sizeism is tiring, Bugg was at Casey and poor, Spargo was in Perth

He was poor today plain and simple did not mater how tall he is. I said nothing about his height.

the simple fact is he did pull his wait.

First year player who is clearly showing the signs of having played too many games. Badly in need of a rest.


I thought all 22 did well.

Tyson was good, so I'll put that down to the usual tiresome sledging he cops.

Spargo wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. His spot could be up for grabs going into finals if the likes of Garlett really get going again, but I'm beginning to lose faith that could happen.

Will Viney be fit for the 1st Final?

Ā 

Hogan - Was not missed

Petracca - Went missing late

Spargo - Not AFL standard (yet)

Melbourne - Speed achilles heel

Kent - Bad and good

Frost - Makes us better

West Coast - Few keys out

Weed - Break-out game

Salem - Rarely wastes it

Hibberd - Most important defender

TMac - Goody used wisely

Jetta/Clarry/TMAC/Gawn/BrayshawĀ - Need a paragraph

Tyson - Joe Boy Correct

Ā 

Ā 

I have never knocked Tyson for memory, but today he frustrated me a little.Ā  Running into traffic for a hand-ball receive.......is obviously slowĀ and takes on the tackler too much, yet has difficulty breaking a tackle.

I'm with Joeboy.Ā  Today's game was nothing to write home about for Dom.

Ā 

BTW, I aint a Tyson-hater.

Ā 

How the hell did Frost stay at Casey for most of the year, and why did we sell the farm for Lever?

I though spargo lost us the game last weekĀ against the Swans and almost this weekĀ through his inexperience. This can’t happen in finals. For me, Jesse Garret needs to come in for him.

He needs to get fitter, needs to streamline his body, more muscle, he’s an 18 year old kid and will be a good midfielderĀ in future

  • 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 inĀ 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).Ā  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, basedĀ 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.Ā  At the time, the Eagles already had two winsĀ 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?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.Ā 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.Ā

  • 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.
