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.

    nev absolutely dominant through the midfield, joel smith killing it with rebound from d50, and bedford, weed, and brown doing it all up forward

    Great round the corner snap by Ben after the siren for a goal!

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

    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.

    Seems to have a more creative role and can show his smarts.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
