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.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
