Apart from Salem they can all be up for debate. 

Just utter slop.

In: May

Etc

    I worry about Spargo after that game and it sucks for him. He does everything right, for a player about a foot taller.

    let's be honest...there's not much at Casey.

    Lewis and May back raise the question of who goes out.

    Could Keilty get a game in place of Hoare?

    Forecast for next Saturday is a maximum of 16....much better for us I hope !!

    Preuss should have been played today if he was any good. Geelong are light on in the ruck department so Gawn should be sufficient.

    Spargo has good footy smarts and I thought he tried today and did some good things. 

    As usual, when the whole team Plays poorly, it’s easy to signal out individuals but  Spargo was okay for mine. Just needs to remain in the game at times.

    Tried to impact the game with numerous tackles but ball carrier still easily able to offload.

    Cant fault his endeavour.

    Drop: Weid

    never ever play Petracca in the centre when  Weid is ruck.

    Neither can play that role. They are both talented but hopeless.

    I don't want to see Frost in the Seniors again. Salem can hold his head high, the rest were generally average/poor today. On field Leadership non existent. Jones was awful. Same one dimensional "bomb it long to a contest" game plan, with no evidence of Plan B. Out coached.

    Both didn't have great days at all today, but you can't say they're hopeless.

    Out - Viney

    In- Anyone that’s fit.

  • Quote

    Spargo was bordering on pathetic. As was Frost, Oscar and Hore. But the problem was the performance of the leaders Viney, Jones, TMac and Gawn.

    May and possibly Lewis come in but it's going to be much the same next week.

    Get rid of Oscar and Frost. They were both diabolical! May and Petty/Keilty comes in. Both of them are just plain shithouse and add nothing to side.

    Hore is meh.

    Jones won’t chase and incredibly casual dropped simple mark, when mark and captains goal may have kept us in it.

    May, Preuss for Frost, Wagner

    Lewis will be standard 21 Day hamstring recovery 

    Disappointing if so.

    He's made for a16 degree game at Kardinia Park

    KK could be an inclusion if he gets through the Casey practice game

    Sorry, that may have read wrong. I agreed with what you wrote. I didn’t mean to imply you thought that, it was simply an extension of the narrative. Right spot, right time but struggles to influence.

    Too many errors from Spargo, agree with you re the leaders, also why didn't anyone return fire with the aggression ?

    May & Lever cant come in quick enough! Will change the whole dynamic / structure of our play. 

    Backline was an absolute mess today. Salem the only winner down back... could argue our only winner for the day. He was fantastic.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
