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.

    Could be quite a composed player under pressure?

    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?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
