They are mostly Casey players with a sprinking of Demons - mainly younger brigade like Rivers, Bradtke, Jordon, Bedford, Hore, Baker plus Jayden Hunt and Josh Wagner.

    We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

    I was going to go with "Our first shot for goal went through for a behind and there's no opposition to kick it back into play".

    Pidge would be Andy McGrath maybe? Jones is one of their draft picks I think.

    This is a big mismatch in talent. No one is to read anything into this game. Essendon a grade talent having a field day. Nice to see Rivers in a Dees jumper though

    I was immediately thinking Glenn McGrath and Dean Jones.

    McGrath makes good sense for a nickname of Pidge ?. Don't mind me, Bit on the slow side this afternoon.

    I believe all tweets about this game should have the disclaimer in this tweet.

    Geez, my 15 year old nephew is playing for Casey.

    When there are long gaps between Melbourne tweets there are either 2 things happening. Either neither team is scoring, or Essendon is scoring. I tend to think it is the later rather than the former.

    Regardless, with the players we're using compared to them, I'm taking nothing from this game. Unless we win of course.

    Young Dees (Casey) playing pretty well can’t be unhappy with the effort

    The first Casey match is not until round 3 of the AFL season and the boys are of course not fulltime footballers.

    Interested to hear of any individual efforts etc

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
