O'Mac punched it through... probably the right thing according to the commentators

Omac didn't punch it through. He was flying for the mark but a dark haired casey player punched it through. Can't remember the name.

    Spargo no goals and wasted kicking. He has a long way to go.

    Unlike him - usually it’s the other way around with very few possessions but good decision making. Probably lacking confidence. Still think he will be ok long term. He needs to develop some upper body strength to be able to stick tackles

    Doesn’t sound like the right thing to do given the scores and the time. But sounds very OMac

    The old backmans curse- damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

    have doubts on Petty, not sure he is quick enough (pace and decision making)

    Maybe Petty is just still thinking his way thru footy... and not yet playing on instinct.  Lets give him time. 

    Oscar is the one who needs his finger surgically removed from an orifice...  someone give him a rattle,  so he can move along to its beat.

    Sparrows performance was pleasing to read about. Seems to be a likely inclusion for Viney next week.

    Was hoping to read a bit about Sparrow’s game in the VFL match report. Nothing on him, not even named in the best.

    Saw Sparrow was an emergency for the Richmond game which suggests he’s still in the coach’s mind for a call-up.  Seems a likely inclusion at this point.

    Maybe he can be put in the forward line to add a bit of pressure

    Yeah- would have to be a half forward role.  

    Petracca to the midfield for Viney, Sparrow to half-forward for Petracca.

    Kielty WILL play VS Hawks, Mark it down. 

    Chance Oscar replaces him but I hope not - think we need potential of someone taking grabs up forward or going back. Could both come in to replace Weid but unlikely. Really need Smith, VB, May, Lever back and I think Baker will play in 2-3. So annoyed we put smith back on field to make groin worse he was PRIMED for marking fwd pressure dual role!!!

    Kielty, Sparrow in for Viney & Weideman.

    Thats the risk you take.  You dont rush a behind with scores level that late in the game.

    Yes you do as it gives you clean possession and the chance to move it 70 metres toward goal with one kick

    Although it’s not really ‘we’. It’s a VFL team.

    Think it’s we to most of us

    Preuss will come in for Weid. Keilty has done very little, only 10 touches he doesn't get the ball enough. ANB is injured too isn't he Corey will come in for him.

    I would wait on baker. No pre season remember. 

    Didn't really look the goods before he was injured..

    How the hell could you tell that about bedford yet.

    As a junior he didn't get a lot of the ball and was not a goal kicker.

    At his size he has to do more than just tackle, run fast...and get a couple of kicks

    He's following a similar path to another couple of kids that have been on the list, Dom Barry & Dion Johnstone. They looked ok but couldn't find enough of the ball.

    So...just a feeling I have. Hope I'm proved wrong...

    On today’s form, Sparrow and Keilty could come in.  Add Preuss back as well. 

    Think Viney out injured, with Weideman and Hunt to be likely omissions.

    Why are we drafting these types, small forwards who don’t kick goals and don’t have too many tricks, that is X factor?

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
