Hadn’t heard anything about Bedford and Chandler having covid and being in isolation.  Has that been written or confirmed? It does appear the most likely reason given they’ve been key players at Casey this year, and not listed in the weekly injury discussion.  Any reference or source? 

the source is me.

    A lot to like about Turner the more you watch him.

    Weid finally took a mark and led to a great scoring chance that Steele smacked out of bounds. Harmes continues to think he’s Dusty with increasingly diminishing returns.

    JVR can’t hold a mark either but his attack at the contest has been first class.

    Laurie gets the benefit and converts. Casey in to the diagonal breeze this quarter

    Credit to Oskar Baker who has looked at Harmes’ failed attempts to break tackles and decided he can do the same with equally awful results

    If required, Turner is already a more than adequate replacement for Lever.

    Harmes has been awful.

    Hopefully people don't get sucked in by his stats because he's butchered the footy going forward and has been pinged several times for holding the ball exactly as you described.

    He'll never learn.

    I think you could cut him some slack under these conditions.

    Absolutely grim defensive work starting with Mitch Brown not manning the man gifts Carlton a goal 

    Casey a risk of thinking the wind will do it for them

    His inside grunt work has been good. It suits players of his ilk. Watching him closely hoping he can come in next week.

    The issue though is attempted don't argues and all times and trying to take the tackler on when there have been options around him to give off.

    In these conditions it's simple basic footy that's been taught from auskick, just get the footy on the boot and get it forward.

    Weideman has had a big 2nd half. For a big bloke in these conditions hes been quite clean below knees.

    I like him better when he's playing higher up the ground.

    He had far more time and space but Harmes took the simple option, got it to JVR who crashed 2 in the pack and created the space for Steele to finish.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
