Why don’t they say what has happened to Tomlinson? 

Emergency for seniors in event of last minute injury

    Not injured according to the commentators. Simply managed time - for whatever reason.

    Ok that’s good. He is probably the emergency tonight. Hopefully doesn’t mean we have another defender under an injury cloud.

    Is dissent not paid in the VFL?

    That's what I've noticed, and isn't the game better for it.

    van Roo has some wheels

    Obviously no comparison on ability ( yet ) but he bears a very strong resemblance to a young David Schwartz

    Interesting. Every goalkicker has a surname that starts with the letter M.

    Well unless May kicks a ton tonight, we’re in trouble 😬

    Rosman can be anything

    Clearly showing this year that he’s a cut above. Just needs to back his size….more physicality at/in the contest. Otherwise got it all. Exciting. Taj and the Dutch also showing everything they should.

    I don't mind the intent of the rule at all.

    It's the application that concerns/irritates/confuses me!

    Is Rosman the longest kick at the club? If not, who’s longer?

    On Gus &Gawny podcast they named him as one of the longest kicks. Convo about who did the best torps, and Rosman called out for being able to drop punt torp distance.

    Laurie with the obligatory awful haircut that seems to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for senior selection 

     

    ...And a great goal to back it up 😀

    Looking at the crowd postioning they seem to have closed off a lot of the ground. No one in the Grandstand ?

    Before the game they did gather around it nervously and poked it with crowbars & tyre jacks. Someone threw a ciggie lighter at it and they all took fright and retreated to the more open spaces.

    Fantastic play by tmac breaking the contest and kicking to space in front of JVR who converts very nicely. Casey up 88 to 57.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
