Few senior players braving the conditions in the stands including Dogga. For a guy seemingly on the way out he does still seem very invested. 

He is an odd unit. Very active on the Instagram reposting Melbourne stuff too. 
Has he checked out? Or is he genuinely just vague?

It is indeed


Great goal Smith. I would seriously consider bringing him to play as a “tall” forward. He could cause some chaos, which is bad in the backline but could be good up forward. 

Smith is having a great game so far, he’s second efforts and forward pressure is something I wish for weids to have. 
If he continues to have a great game then he needs to come in next week. We need something different up forward

Brought in by Casey apparently when Daw retired, but had a calf injury I believe so this is his first game.

Smith’s work rate has been fantastic, unlucky not to get a free kick then.

Yes we do. JVR is showing nothing in this game. So yes, Smith.

Tomlinson and Bowey are a class above this level.


Harmes looks like a VFL player in the AFL, and a VFL player in the VFL

Bring in Howes instead

The Blues hit the front in the shadows of half time.

Half Time: Casey Demons 3.7.25 Carlton 4.2.26

Goals Blake Brown J Smith

Disposals Harmes 18 White 14 Bowey Munro 12 Tomlinson 11 Buntine 10

Edited by KC from Casey

If you ever want to a game that illustrates:

a) the value of small forwards

b) the reason not to pack a team with ordinary talls

c) Why Harmes is in the 2’s

then this is it 

Interesting first half.

The conditions don't suit forwards today, but having watched the first half pretty closely the pick out of the forwards has been Joel Smith. His work rate has been impressive.


 

Harmes and Dunstan can’t get any separation at the clearances. Laurie (stuck forward) and White should be given the hit outs. 

Umpires rob us a goal from sheer panic. Maybe evens up the Smith one from the first quarter

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
