Not saying much but ANB was clearly our best player today

His turnovers are game killers and even today there were several.

    I think Jade Rawlings was less than impressed, as was I 

    The disease has spread to the VFL level, it appears, from the valued commentary on DL. Some kids are really talented, no doubt, as it seems that they came from behind to crush Casey (not a normal team at that) as the game wore on. Coaches need some time to have a good dissection and discussion on such a performance, none the less.

    that direct turnover in the backline where he kicked it straight to the opposition who goaded is probably equivalent to 10 of his possessions. so if he got 25, he now only really gets 15. that's how I see it. was hopeless by foot today.

    How did Garlett go?

    I don’t hate or love him, I just commented on what I saw. I hate bagging players (they are not ‘spuds’), but his play was noteworthy in its cost to the outcome.  Perhaps we all expect more given his role in the firsts?

    I was commenting regarding people making fun of him - eg can he be dropped any lower.

    no issue with pointing out when someone isn’t playing well

    He is obviously not working hard enough at his skills at training

    He is one of the hardest workers at the club. Some players have limitations on their skills and decision making and he is one.

    Stretch was easily our best until rested.

    Neal-Bullen was our best player but turned it over too much. Stretch was good for the time he was on the ground. The rest were ordinary.

    Young is a player I'd like to pick up with our top 4 pick.

    Should have played the seniors game as the curtain raiser. At least then I would have known to keep an eye on the potential top few picks in the next draft in this game.

    Now that we're a bust, like the look of this bloke. We may just get him.

     

    I’d rather Rowell, that blood nut is an absolute jet

    God it’s dee-pressing to be looking at high end picks AGAIN

    Thank goodness we didn’t trade out our 2019 first rounder

    we don't need rowell. we need speed. rowell is a slowish accumulator with avg skills. I want someone with pace to burn.

    CASEY TAKES ON THE AUSSIES by KC from Casey
     
    The Casey Demons played an exhibition match against an Australian Under 19 team at the MCG on Easter Saturday but the game was played with more than half an eye on the fact that whilst their senior counterpart was taking part in their AFL Round 5 game against St Kilda later that afternoon, they also had an assignment just four days later against Richmond. 
     
    The team, with 10 AFL Demons, opened strongly and dominated the first half to lead by four goals at the main break before taking most of their Melbourne players off and leaving the highly talented youngsters to use their skills to take over and run away to a comfortable 23 point win.
     
    Billy Stretch was outstanding in the first half with 15 possessions, Jeff Garlett was busy around goal and Oscar McDonald was strong in defence. Declan Keilty was powerful in his few moments in the first half. Once they went off, Casey was left with few players with any AFL experience to speak of other than Alex Neal-Bullen who shone with 26 disposals.

    Mykelti Lefau who came on at half time booted three goals against the tide.

    Casey Demons 3.1.19 7. 4.46 8.6.54 11.8.74 

    Australia 2.2.14 3.4.22 8.5.53 15.7.97

    By the look os thid OMac, Stretch & Gartlett are in for promotion .

    TBH I think Spargo ,Jnr Wagner and Hunt might be looking down the barrell. I still think Hunt is worth perservering with because he has pace and is developing his tackling, but needs room to move.

    ANB seem top be banished even though he is a busy bee which is better than havcing St Kilda Players standing 25m fro a Melb playing with a flag up saying, "MyTurn"

    Whereas the Under 18's  were loaded with no players with AFL experience and they walked all over us.

    They belted North by about 10 goals in same game last year and North had more afl players during the entire game.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.
