Mitch Brown coming in off a 4 day break just won't happen, another  non performance from the tall will see him in for the Lions.

He won't play at Casey next week if this the case on Friday Night, they'll hold him over till friday week.

I tend to agree so IN :SALEM OUT: JETTA

    Interesting that Lockhart and Baker were in the best.

    Always wondered if Lockhart gets an extended go at AFL level whether he can make it. Has pace, courage, can mark the ball and is a neat kick.

    Yep, it would be sensible to rotate Bedford, ANB and Kossie. I like ANB (sometimes), but can be very inconsistent and Kossie as an early career player will undoubtedly need the rest soon.

    I'd add Chandler to that mix, too.

    I know he looked out of his depth a little against Carlton but he has shown enough at the lower level to suggest it's only a bit of belief that is required.

    Then you have 5 players in that role - Spargo, ANB, Kozzy, Bedford and Chandler - plus a few mids that can do it as well e.g Viney and Sparrow.

    We need to make sure that group is fresh every week because our game plan is highly reliant on those tackles sticking and it was evident against Adelaide that those boys were tired. 

    It's not a running issue - they were gut running. The final part of the pressure puzzle just wasn't to the usual standard.

    Any chance they could try Jake Bowey on a wing or forward flank, his delivery i50 would be handy

    Locky has all the attributes of a back pocket and IMO should mind Weightman on Friday night.

    He was cruelly discarded about 2/3 of the way into 2020 by Goody. It seemed they any error he made was totally against his selection.

    Niw that he had be played a really good game ( and regained fitness) he should be given the chance instead of Lord  Nev who is sadly not fast enough.

    If Goody had played Locky all year in 2020 he would have had another few games and be really ready for the AFL now.

    We need a smaller player with speed  as all the mediums and talls flew last week and resulted in a goal out the  back. 
     

    Hibbo May get the call up for Bont minding but has he the full tank?

    We need to look at our list and not keep going back to Melky  and Nev and give younger players a chance that will  improve our speed and run!

    This will mean  they are ready for Finals  type pressure as injuries and form can dictate selection st any time.

    Give Locky a go and I was disappointed Chandler ( yes he was not great vs Blues ) but needed at least another match to be fair. 
     

    We need to pick a running side because if we don't we will be too slow chasing the Dogs!!

    It was definitely peculiar that Lockhart had played quite a bit then just disappeared and never seemed to be in contention again.

    Agree with you totally on Lockhart ..he has class speed and passion-goes 150% all the time.. Also agree on the need to bring more players through for the experience rather than waiting till later in the year if injuries occur. They need games under their belt. I would include Crawford and Daw in this too.

    Ill conclude with this ....

    " If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure and failure without risk is not sustainable or attainable" PF 

    Picket the perfect antidote after crowgate!  Your insightful and entertaining prose painted the rural idyll of the  Fields of Casey magnificently. 
    We almost had visions of Geoffrey and Leigh-Anne flying in pre-bounce in a pink helicopter!

    Admittedly we are still contemplating your allusions to Swanettes and Slitheras. Advisedly keep out of the long grass!

    Found your pen portraits of the listed MFC most insightful. Would be good for some of those lads to get a call up to AFL level and perform well.

    Still processing your homespun philosophy overall a top read cheers!

    He seems to be coming along very nicely. He looks set in that back half role.

    I think our forward half pressure players are doing well because they're all fit with mature bodies that can stick those tackles, so I wouldn't be adding him to that mix.

    The wing could work, though.

    We’ve checked this out and KC is correct. Munro kicked three goals. 

    Watch the all the goals replay. Grey kicks a goal.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
