You never know Jaded. The club have a number of measures that aren’t obvious to people outside the clubs inner circle.

Or people with eyes. Or fans who have half a clue.

    Certainly would look at bringing the Weed back in. His last two weeks have been excellent and I reckon he has gained confidence 

    Agree, but suspect they'll leave him there for a while, let him really build on the work he's doing.

    It doesn't make much sense to me. If they were only going to play Brown a half at Casey,  why didn't they just select him for AFL this week?

    I thought they were holding him off as a loading exercise, but it doesn't seem to make much sense.

    Cmon its MFC Some selections are like Bingo numbers!

    Wouldn’t it be the same old story though? Bloke dominates at VFL level and comes into the seniors and literally has no impact. We’ve seen it all before. 
     

    Did Brown actually play reduced minutes or are some posters just giving him an out. Plenty of people on the MFC Facebook page disputing that he played limited game time. 3 disposals for an entire game is very very poor. He was great last week. Would love to know his total minutes.

    Well Goody can't give his usual inaccurate reports on any players in the Casey team. Overstates form and training far too much IMO.

    Well, we’ve put ourselves in this situation by not picking Brown after he kicked 5. Now he has this weird “did he play” game and the angst sets in further. 

    IMO it can’t be Weid next week. We gave that an extended crack and it didn’t work.

    Didn't Weid have 20+ touches and kick 1.3 or something last week too though? In thought I read he played week just didn't finish.

    Great, just what we need … a another player who ‘can’t finish’

    It’s perplexing. The MC seem to have done that thing where you tie yourself in knots convincing yourself something is the right thing to do. And then when you look back at it in the cold light of day - it’s just stupid and self defeating. 

    You recruited a FF, because you wanted to have two talls plus a resting ruck, and then TMac form and the first 6 games scuppers that planning? And to play a bloke on and off for a half only invites ridicule and pressure.

    We have 7 weeks to fashion a forward line that has TMac, Brown, Jackson/Gawn, Fritsch, ANB, and Pickett. That is talented enough to score 80 points…

    Mitch brown rolled his ankle last week..Bedford was ok tonight & Lockhart …chandler not so. 

    Where did you find out that’s what happened to Mitch Brown? I’ve found it frustrating to get info on it! He came off at quarter time last week and didn’t play this week, but they didn’t mention him at all in our injury list. Surely they could of mentioned he was a “test”.

    I wonder if the late announcement of the Thursday night game through planning out?

    ie teams were picked for Sat arvo already (not including Brown or Weid), then Sat arvo happened and they decided that the forward line needs changes, and with the short turn around they decide they want the "in" to be fresh enough so they don't have time to wait until after the game to decide so choose Brown and only play him for a half.

    No mention of Bailey Laurie either was apparently in a sling at the footy..

    Why didn't we try Daw or J.Smith up forward.  We seem to be back to making dumb decisions. 

    Worthy of consideration.

    Last week on TV I thought Weid looked good but he is playing a role similar to TMacc who is excelling in that fed roaming role up to the wing. We need a deep target for him to kick too.

    It was listening to the commentators who said he had rolled his ankle & the other comment was that Bedford was the top small forward in the VFL at present. So no other source of info !

    Two fat ladies- 21.

    All the 3's - 24

    A 1 and a 4 - 32.

    Maybe that's why I was banned from calling Bingo.

    I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

    • 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.

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.
