Anyone know why Bailey Laurie not playing?

I walked past him post game outside the MCG and his arm was in a sling

Half time and Brown apparently barely had a kick... if this continues all game, who do we bring in next week?

He's been on the bench a lot of the time so far, as has Melksham. Neither are very happy about it, but clearly seems like it's because they're being managed as high chances to be selected for AFL next week.

Edit - apparently vB as well.

Oh great. And in the meantime our opponents on Thursday are having a training run. It’s a laugh a minute at the moment


Half Time Casey lead by a goal - 5.4.34 to 4.4.28 in an unconvincing display.

Goals Weideman 2 Grey Munro White

Disposals Bowey 16 VandenBerg  13 Jetta Weideman 12

Who are the goal scorers Weid has 2 as does somebody else and Grey has one

Weid has 2 and White, Munro and Grey have 1.

Nah, but a mate is and is passing on bits and pieces.

Surely if they knew they were going to be on limited game time they wouldn't maybe be as annoyed?

Weid misses. What a surprise.

You missed as well. The two he's kicked.

Oh, you're only following his misses? Right.

No idea, but if I had to guess I would think they would want to be playing more for a bunch of reasons: Wanting to contribute and not feel like an AFL fly-in, trying to get some form and confidence, trying to guarantee themselves a spot.

Also, it would be like an ice bath on the bench there.

Ever considered a career in comedy? You're a real funny guy.

Conditions not good?

Sorry I'm only listening via radio.

I've yet to see a player mark up forward and kick a goal from the bench.  Someone might want to pass that on to him.  Werridee!?

This and the next few matches could be some of the most crucial in the recent (post 64) history of this club.

Freezing cold, little bit windy.

I'll steer clear of comedy if you steer clear of footy analysis/commentary. Seems like we are both equally unsuited.

Why is Casey playing White up forward instead of back where he usually plays (of late)?  He is taking a KF spot and we need to try and play both Weid AND BB into some form?  Perplexing

If Weid gets picked next week we are going backwards

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
