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. 

I reckon Petracca won’t have a break out 6 goal game. 

I reckon hogan will kick 7 and I’ll cry into my beer

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.

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.

No, suffered knock in the game.  The fitness staff cant stop in game incidents

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.

  • 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.

  • 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 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
