Keilty and Petty need to have strong games to come back into selection contention

Did dim Tyson get dropped from the seniors?

Yes.

But old mate @olisik reckons we made a mistake trading him...?


I will go down and keep an eye on Garlett, Petty, Kielty and Baker.

You'll also notice that our old mate has also been absent after our first victory of the season. 

He only shows up after a loss. How sad is that?

Any chance Lockhart as a late inclusion?

Don't think he can play for casey if named in our 22.

Playing the man again.  And it's an opinion forum. 

And how on earth is your comment related to the Casey game tomorrow?

Give it a break, you're better than that.

So it's the Wale in the ruck.... good luck young man

I see North's ruck, Mirran is a VFL listed player as well. Did North have a relief ruck other than Majak Daws at AFL level?

Be interested in knowing from the Casey regulars if Lockhart has had back problems before.

You follow me round like a bad smell, Bob. You ignored the copious other posts this weekend where I did discuss the game, then? 

Unless you want to engage in some footy discussion, grow up and move on, because I won't waste my time on you again. Life is too short for people like you. Cheers.

Not as much as he has just been demoted and I think needs a few weeks at Casey.


Thanks DL understand fully but wonder if ANB can alter  his game and adapt to a more physical and skilled (without the fumbling) style to win back his spot.Thats his challenge to play tougher football.

Agree he needs a good stint at Casey yo turn things around from a poor start to 2019.

look forward to your post about the young guys and Jeffy  All Have big chances with the Saints  and Tigers games so close.

and I'd love it if you would keep an eye on young Chandler as well please dl4e.  One of our better players in a poor team effort last week.  Thanks!

Dec seemed to get a ball in the eye at a centre bounce,  last week...  which seemed to trouble him for some time.

Meanwhile, by all reports, Austin Bradtke is motoring along satisfactorily, playing in the ruck for the Dandenong Stingrays.

Nothing spectacular but he's getting hitouts and possessions and last week kicked a goal in the team's drawn game against the Geelong Falcons.

He’s playing under 18’s? Should be smashing them as training with an AFL side would be very beneficial.

Bradtke has played no football for about four years after making a decision at 14 years of age to concentrate on basketball.

Apart from a couple of practice matches with Casey, he has played only two games of AFL any level for premiership points and they were over the last fortnight with the Stingrays. He’s learning the craft in an area where players don’t reach their peak until the mid 20s. The strategy of playing him in the NAB Bank Under 18s is sound but don’t expect him to be smashing them quite yet.

Agree, it will take some time for him.

I watched the last qtr of last weeks game against Geelong where he played majority of that qtr in the ruck. I'd be curious to know if they will also use him up forward as he apparently impressed in some of the Casey practice games he played this year.

So, would that be an "eyeball"??

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
