Would like to see Petracca play forward more this week. I understand that is dependent on how the midfield is going but  I think his presence forward would help 

He’s not allowed to take a set shot though! Waste of a shot unless he’s dead in front 20 out.

    I've watched a bit of Casey this year, and Rosman looks close to AFL level, although not heaps of the ball in recent weeks. Agree about Moniz-Wakefiled. He looks classy but goes missing for long periods. 

    I thought that Rosman has been out injured.  But from whatI hear he is getting close, though not as was originally intended as a wingman, but as a defender.

    Well I am certain Ginivan will get a whole lot of frees in front of goal - AFL has decreed.

    I have a feeling Turner might debut. A key defender, 194 cm, been in reasonable form, what we need with May out I guess.

    Shots at goal in general play only…or if he takes a mark play on shot at goals

    Why?? He worked his guts out and did a few good things. He could bob up and kick a couple of goals! I think your comments harsh!

    Probably kick a few if the mids can connect properly rather than drop the ball on his head and expect him to take mark of the yr each time. 

    Mids need to lower their eyes ffs.

    I think the club needs to seek clarification before Monday on the holding the ball rule.  Is their March decree still current? I guess we find out Monday.

    https://amp.abc.net.au/article/100908150

    “Free kicks will be awarded against players who duck their heads prior to being tackled and do not dispose of the ball correctly.

    Some of the red flags for umpires will include players evading, fending, ducking, having a prior option and not taking it, being balanced and steady, or driving their head.”

    If Petty is still not right and Turner comes in for him we look very shaky at the back

    No offense to Turner but he'll be a first gamer.

    I reckon Petty will play even if only at 80%

    M.Brown still in is laughable.

    Looking like terrible choices, we'll see once the final team is announced.  

    Not so funny. Mitch did a far better job than Ben.

    Trust your eyes too.

    Yep.

    He gets up and down the ground, albeit at not a great pace, which is important in terms of replacing Tmac.

    He's not super strong, but  good one on one and he is an excellent kick for goal.

    So a better like for like, and better option you'd have to say, than weed.

    Rosman missing last week so i only saw about 3 quarters of him (live) the week before.  Watched a bit on the box earlier.  Shows promise i just worry about his slight frame playing off HB going up a level to AFL.  Maybe another pre-season will help here?  Also whose role would he be looking to slot into?

    The other that showed a bit against the Swans (i thought anyway) was McVee in patches.

    A bit harsh,  first game back in how long? Forward line's a problem but delivery is the bigger problem

    All the talk is of Turner covering Petty. Any chance Turner plays ahead of Tomlinson if Petty is okay? Tommo has looked way off the pace to me.

    No info, but Disco is more a Lever-type than a Petty-type IMO, so I wonder if Lever is not 100%?

    Reminds me more of a Rod (Tilt) Carter or Blakey type (potentially).

    Tomlinson looked like he was low on confidence in his knee and his ability last week. ACLs can take 18 months to get back to your best if you ever do. Poor bloke. Massive sliding doors moment last year in Tassie.

    All we need to top off this wonderful week is yet another defender to go down. Lever hasn’t been 100% all year. Sticky tape that sh it up and let’s go!

    Is Jackson a certainty to make the 22 given he’s named on the bench, hasn’t played a decent game since round 2 and is averaging 2 marks a game since round 6/Anzac Eve?

    Great to see Hunt out been pathetic. How Ben Brown gets a game I do not know? Rewarding mediocrity Hopefully disco replaces Tommo but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    This was my initial thought also considering they've brought in Weideman.

    I highly doubt it though..

     

    I’m tipping Bakes to play, we sorely need his pace and creativity, Jordan or Sparrows to be omitted, both are way to vanilla in my book.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
