Everyone in the 1s should be worried about Jetta's performance today..

Seriously he is playing very well and took a screamer in the fwd 50, but missed the set shot. Dees 10.10, should be 10 goals in front.

Why wasn't that "play on" and therefore disallowed? Are they playing the "old" (pre-2021) man on the mark rule in the VFL? 

Stood on the angle to take the set shot

The changes thread for next week will be interesting!

brown for Brown?

t Mac for Weed?

Don't think TMac is going out from what I can gather from Goodwin's pressers. Expect him to move up the ground to wing and allow either or both Weid and BB in

Brown and Weideman too good for VFL. 
Lockhart steady and cool. Runs in straight lines.

Deakyn Smith putting on an impressive performance so far. Had 10 disposals in that first half and uses the footy beautifully.

What a half.   Pressure for spots is fierce.

Weideman (3 goals, could easily be 5) and Brown (2 goals) look ready to come in vs the Tigers.

Bedford absolutely dominant and I would have him in the seniors ahead of Melksham, and Jones at a minimum.

Chandler fantastic. Lockhart, Baker very busy.  Joel Smith a general in the back line.  Bradtke having an 'almost' game, done a few nice things,  needs more strength in his body. 

Love a couple of the Casey kids like Goonan and Grey.

 McDonald, Jones, Melksham, ANB....  you better play well against the Hawks.

The commentators were saying it was all good, the player can go around but not "break the plane" of the straight line. ie there is the stragiht line down the mark to the middle of the goal square, you can duck out to the side and come around to snap as long as you don't go back over the other side of the mark line. I don't know if that makes any sense haha.

Looks too good for this level but seemingly too slow for AFL

Looks to have a licence to roam today

Setting up with great poise and positioning himself well.

Pretty sure we're currently leading the comp for tackles inside50, so i would love to see Bedford given a good run at it in the seniors. Take that forward pressure to yet another level

Bradtke Looks like he could be a solid citizen when he fills out

The club is in really good shape at the minute. Plenty of depth at Casey and great to see everyone looking so sharp. No one in the first team can take their place for granted that’s for sure.

It’s great to see that we have great quality in our depth now. For eons it has been (say) 18 regulars then a drop off to the rest.

Fantastic depth we have at the moment. All goes well for the future with these guys firing. Keeps the pressure on the one's to perform which can only be good.

Very impressed with Bedford today. Playing a rovers game, quick as, crumbing and kicking well. I didn't realise he had this much skill.

Bedford and Chandler killing it and ready if Jones and Melksham have quiet games in coming weeks. Brown and Weid getting good touch but Weid seemed to play reduced minutes that qtr. Really love the look of Deakyn Smith rare you see such polish on show at VFL level. He das it in spades and looks like a serious player for a half back spot in the future. Based on the first half you would not want to be in the seniors and not play your role with fill commitment at full tilt today. There are players ready to take  spots in most positions.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
