Casey's Courtney (35) is in the ruck. Looks lively.

    our set shot goal kicking is ATROCIOUS

    It costed us games last year and looking the same this year.

    is that petty playing? that hair cut is a shocker

    brown is a lovely mark (and gets away with push in the back) but can't kick a set shot to save himself - 0 goals 4 from set shots today?

    It's a Casey fill in wearing the #30 guernsey.


    Lockhart and Melksham playing very well. Brayshaw is rusty.

    I think Gus expected Spargo to be close enough to handball to. Spargo was ball watching and Gus has a bad elbow.

    95% sure Kossie just floated as he took that mark.

    Beautiful to watch!

    my god brayshaw is slow

    he's no different to tyson - slow to use it, poor kick, okay tackle

    He gone done holding the ball, playing like he would in an AFL game. He got it wrong footed then turned to give the handball back to the guy who should have been running past, but there was no one there. Being fairly harsh with the comparison to Tyson there wwsw

    Spargo is looking better than last week.I havent seen much of Jordan yet, hope to see him get involved.

    I've been impressed (in little bits I've been able to watch) in general with the overlap play, guys kicking/handballing then following up the immediate play. It hasn't always worked and some of the skills aren't great, but that shows better intent of ball movement even without our best players.

    Thought Spargo looked ok last week, just didn't finish that well - is his finishing better today?


    Gus had been quiet. And rusty.

    Baker has been good with some run and dash on the wing. More game time and i can see him playing senior footy soon.

    Spargo has been good.

    Pickett has had around 7 touches of the ball and already kick 0.2, he'll play round 1.

    Melksham has been BOG

    Geez we are bloody spoiled these days. Only a couple of years back we would have been relying on a "Lander at the game relaying updates via phone for a mate to post.

    Great that we can see our kids in action live and free.

    Anyone know the names & numbers of the casey players?  One of them is in #17...

    He's done some nice things. The intercept mark was very good.

    We haven't had Kossie's pressure in the forward line for a very long time. He's worth a couple of goals a game even without touching the pill.

    I thought he wasnt good last week. This week he is running to the right spots - mainly. Holding marks and kicking accurately. generally being quite good. he couldve been there for Gus when Gus was looking for a HB target, though.

    11 scoring shots to 5. That's 6 more, with 5 of them being quite simple set shots. I know it's only a practice match, bit I'm quite disapointed with that. We need to improve our accuracy for the season proper or we'll lose a few games off our own boot.

    Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • 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.
