Lever gets "bone bruising" from a match almost two weeks ago.

No reports. No news. Nothing.

Then, two days before the next game. 

"Yeah nah he's injured."

I am absolutely done with this amateur club. I was already tossing up whether to waste my Saturday but I'm not going. 

What embarrassing player management. But that's not even the main issue for mine. The club is treating members with contempt, and like idiots. I'm sick of it.

    Totally irrelevant. This is a commentary blog for anyone to comment. It is also anonymous. Who has achieved and in what sport or other field is not revealed. By the way how many games did you play before you died of mesothelioma Steve?

     

    One day I hope the site admin makes the decision to ban posters for rubbishing our young players as spuds. 

    The kid has a couple of games under his belt and is developing pretty well in my eyes. 

    Btw, I love the ignore function on this site.

    So true, and for all those Pert defenders that sort attitude comes from the top. Honesty to supporters is a non negotiable in all aspects of communication bar recruiting. And when you think about it do you think the hiding of the injury until selection time has hindered Freo in any meaningful way.

    Salem Frost. jWagner 

    Brayshaw Viney Fritsch 

    Petracca Tmcd Baker

    Anb Weid TSmith 

    Gawn. Harmes oliver

    Jones Hunt Petty Hannan 

    missing 6 from my best 22 ... Lever 1 Hibberd 1 jetta 5 Melksham 5 Jsmith indef Vandenburg indef

     

    We’ve had a change in the coaching department. That usually directly results in most underperforming teams winning.  

    Ergo, we will win regardless of Lever, Hibberd and Garlett not playing.  


    In Vegas and wondering if anyone knows if you can watch AFL live anywhere?

    Yep!!

    Lever brought back too early by the fitness gurus. What a surprise.

    And that is the least imposing looking MFC forward six on paper we’ve seen in some years. Preuss can’t get a run among that lot? Really?

    Can’t win games of footy if you’ve got no firepower. Freo by 7 goals.

    ANB ... ugh.

    Oscar McDonald not named at any level this week. Not an emergency, not in the Casey squad and not on the injury list.

    Seems strange. Hope he's traveling alright.

     


    These threads are getting more depressing as the year trickles on, much like our entire season.

    Injuries, poor form and just an all round bleakness to it all.

    I cant even bring myself to go to the game. ?

    I don't mind it if Fritsch actually lines up as selected in the forward line.  Great mark and very good kick for goal.   Will do a lot for his confidence as he looks a bit lost as a defender.

    He will be at least one player back in his natural position.  Now to put Gus back where he belongs in the middle. 

     

    With the change of coaches our line ups and positional changes during the game will be interesting to watch as will our ball movement.  Hopefully, more control than manic play on. 

    And hopefully if Oliver gets 25-35 possessions they have an impact and gain more than 55mts!  We need him to get much more value for his work.

    The fitter and more match ready you are the less likely you will a) be susceptible to these kind of knocks and b) able to rebound quickly when they do occur. 

    All pointers say he wasn’t ready to return.

    The pressure is on Hogan to kick a few this week.  No Lobb, McCarthy, Tabener

    If May with Hore intercepting, can keep Hogan quiet it would be significant.

    then it will come down to the midfield battle. if they break even and can spread and give their small fwds some time we will get beaten.  C'mon demons!

    and FFS play Fristch up fwd!! he kicking inside 50 is terrific and he has an eye for goal

    TMac and Weid have kicked a combined 18 goals in 20 games this season. That’s not one but your TWO key forwards combining for less than a goal per AFL game. This despite Melbourne having had the SECOND highest number of forward entries among all eighteen clubs in 2019 thus far. 

    Posters who keep defending these two really should read that paragraph again and just let those returns sink in for a minute or two.

    If that doesn’t make them quite possibly the two players with the most pressure on them in the league I don’t know what else they’d have to do (or in their case, not do).

    Hogan will be looking to impress though, no doubt.

    Why would you even post such a thing? Says more about you than it does about Steve.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
