Oh FFS, a bye!  A few of our Casey players must be thrilled (not) to sit out a weekend rather than push their cases for selection. JVR, Laurie, Chandler, etc. Hopeless fixturing.

    Yep, just scrap it, form new vfl with the victorian afl clubs and include the likes of Williamstown, Port Melbourne and perhaps Werribee then just leave it alone.

    Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Casey also has a bye on the weekend of 6/7 August.

    Then Carlton and Brisbane, I assume in Brisbane. Then finals.

    3 Victorian sides have a bye. Why? When can we finally admit this competition hasn’t worked for 10 years and pack it in?

    It's atrocious, especially from a skill level, the VFL has NEVER been as low skill, as it is this year.

    Agree... packs on packs

    Reduce players on field to 16 for the second half to increase skills. First half they can have 18 to emulate AFL if they have to

    The VFL bye may have been co-ordinated with our Alice Springs game so the whole squad can travel there for community involvement.

    And these atrocious byes is something that we may have to look forward to if Gillon gets his 19th team,  in Tasmania.

    We'll need two byes for every team unless we reduce the season to 18 games

    No thanks

    In the VFL the byes are a function of trying to reduce costs

      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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
