They had former AFL player playing in their side if that's what you mean??

Thanks.  I was thinking current AFL players.  The Bullants team is very depleted after Carlton pulled the pin on them last year.

It makes a bit of a mockery of the AFL when some clubs are AFL affiliates and some aren't eg Bullants and Frankston. While not affiliated Port seem to hold their own.

    Petty and Bedford did well again for Casey.

    Tomlinson had a good game against Freo though so I doubt we will see Petty vs the Saints.  Bedford will with any luck force ANB or Jones out of the team soon.

    Not surprised one bit. The Casey/Melbourne media department in keeping fans Informed around this stuff is an absolute debacle. I've seen country footy clubs post far more better content on their social media then our [censored] club.

     

    The coverage is an embarassment for the Club. We are vitally interested in the performances and the efforts of Casey players, senior and VFL, gaining insights into present and future options for the AFL team (and the MFC as a whole) to achieve success and competitiveness. 

    Our Club must address this deficit immediately, all season, all matches. There are no excuses for this oversight.

    Whats wrong with having news items about the women's team? 

     Nothing. Just need to have their own website instead of it being a jumbled mess mixing the mens and womens teams all together on the official site.

    Fully agree DM.  This is the sort of detail Pert & co should be on top of if they want to build up the Club & memberships.  There has been bu**er all information about the Casey practice games or their results in a timely fashion - p!ss poor by the Club.

    agree but is there a forward spot perhaps?

    Maybe but who comes out and will we be to top heavy with T Mac, Jacko and Petty.  The changes will be interesting.   Viney comes in for Sparrow I’d say but I can’t see many other changes.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the report but it was almost useless. Who were the best players? Who did well? Where did Melbourne listed players play and how did each of them play?

    Yes, pretty disappointing. Understand the lack of interest and response if it was a bunch of Casey kids playing, but the side included our AFL vice captain,  two of our four most experienced AFL players and all of our 2020 draftees. The game was pretty significant in the context of our season.

    Teams don’t need affiliations to be strong, but they do need experienced VFL players and ideally ex AFL players. Port always have plenty of both of those. 

    From what I can see NB have Paul Ahern and Kieran Collins as former AFL players. Unless they’ve got a few more up their sleeve they might be more like the Frankston and Coburg’s than the Willy and Ports. Which is a shame. 

    I still don’t understand how Carlton are saving money by splitting the alliance. Seems to me it will cost them the same amount and they won’t have the existing additional supporter and volunteer base (no matter how small).

    doubt it was about money. bound to be a disagreement between both parties on player management and development.

    carlton probably wanted it all there way, whilst nb wanted to pick best side on merit and play players in best position to win games

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
