Coburg has a debutant playing tomorrow named Dylan Thomas. I hear he’s poetry in motion.

That's coz each week he is versing another team.

    Based on the market above, you would think that playing Coburg at home is going to be a shoe in with 16 AFL listed players available.

    Toby Bedford is on track to achieve some sort of record this season. He’s been the sub for all 5 Melbourne games (activated once only in Round 1). This has enabled him to double up for each of Casey’s games this season so by the end of the day today he will have 9 games on the board. Five for Melbourne and 4 for Casey.

    As per the opening post, “ALL MATCHES ARE STREAMED ON AFL.COM AND THE AFL LIVE APP”

    And the latest update to the AFL app means it can be casted to your TV if you have a Chromecast.

    So does that mean if he has a number of as medical sub games he goes above the cut off for playing Casey finals??  No wait it’s based on games played for Casey isn’t it?

    Presumably the first ever Demons player to have featured in (at least) 8 wins by round 5.

    What’s wrong with Howes?

    I asked that too.

    I guess we will have to wait until we get an injury update from the club.

    Either way, let's hope it is nothing serious and Blake Howes will be back next week.

    I presume he goes above the cutoff for Rising Star nomination as well.

    A very interesting point you have raised.

    It feels like you are watching football in a phone booth. It doesn't help if all the play is on the other side.

    You expect that on a windy day at Casey Fields.

    Serious question KC.

    What, if anything could they do at Casey Fields to minimize the impact of the wind (other than build stands)?

    Both ends are open and the one time i was there (the roos practice match) i was thinking that perhaps some sort of wind breakers at the city end might help.  

    The wind ruins so many games down there.

    You would have to ask an expert that question. I suppose a couple of stands and a lot of tall trees would help.

    Coburg have scored their first goal and are looking dangerous again.

    Majak dominated the first quarter but hasnt been sighted in the second. Can a  Casey watcher provide some info?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
