44 can play, whoever he is. 

I believe 44 is Luca Goonan - ex Mt Eliza player.  Was on Casey's list for last year but obviously didn't play.  

Nephew of a family friend.

    Haha I am not bald and there was no ill-intent in my comments, intended in affection only. Apologies if taken that way. 

    No reasonable thinking person would have taken offence TJ6

    Jake Bowey can play footy - has very good balance, good side step and dare I say it you could argue is already the best kick on the list 

    Bailey Laurie seems a natural footballer - he has very good hands and awareness in traffic - I still have a slight question mark on speed but overall quite promising

    Fraser Rosman I think has potential but may take a bit more time than others hoped

    Not much depth.

    Bowey impressive the rest just went. Brown terrible.

    Confirmed that physios were looking at Nietschke's knee. 

    I hope that isn't serious - he has had such a terrible run and deserves to have some luck

    This thread may be running hot like the Tigs B team, but the the Dees Z team performance is as about as cold as Ice Station Zebra.

    Warming up ever so slightly. Nice pair Toby Bedford!

    Bowey, Laurie and Petty were clearly the 3 best for me out everyone.

    Harrison Petty has a strong case next week against the doggies as Tomlinson was poor today. On today's effort I'd have him round 1 against freo over Tomlinson 

    Would not hurt giving Bowey a run next week against the doggies. He seriously looked a class above everyone who just butchered the [censored] out of it.

    I think Bowie has gone ahead of Lockhart for a spot as a small defender 

    Agreed on that performance can now see why Lockart was dropped last season way too many turnover balls or 50/50s at best.

    The team looked poor, hopefully there are some VFL reinforcements coming in to top that side up, otherwise it could be a long year.

    On a positive note, the young draftees looked good, Bowey and Laurie more than Rosman. And Petty played well, and will be required in the seniors sooner rather than later imo.

    Very dysfunctional forward set up which is due to the fact that 4 of our first choice forwards are all out injured/on leave.

    Richmond are a well drilled club/team.

    Hope that Nieta is ok

    Bowey, Petty, and Laurie all looked like AFL level to me. Bedford looked good in a couple of brief cameos when he turned the speed on, but like the rest of them, he didn't look at the level required for a promotion yet. hope Neitschke is ok, fingers crossed.

    Early days, and the opposition was VFL level, but it's easy to see why we took Bowey and Laurie in the first round.  Both are 'natural' footballers and have the class we are crying out for.

    Petty should be a 'lock' against the Dogs next weekend.

    Beyond these three, not too much to get excited about from the B game.

    Rosman showed glimpses of potential, but is not a 'natural', and will take time.

    That's a shame. Sounds like he isn't the answer to fill in for BBB/Weid.

    Brayshaw, Viney, B Brown, Weid, Melksham, Kossie, Hibberd, Lockhart, Hore and Joel Smith if he was not playing, add a bit of depth.

    I think McDonald and Jackson will account for themselves quite well. It will be exciting to see Pickett, Chandler and Spargo in the 1 team.

    The rest are injured or in Kossie's case unavailable.

    AVB not out there also.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
