Cannot see enough of Zorko, Berry and McCarthy right now.

Berry just like Ugle-Hagen played out of there skin against us & will probably never replicate there performances

We would have given the Cats a much better match.
 

Simply … We threw it away this year. 

Poorly managed back half

 

So Cats now only negative 12 cumulative points for consecutive PFs.

Yep, I blame our dismal second half of the year squarely on the coaches.

Sadly yes.  Hope we learn from it - and replenish our list, and even our senior team from who we have already at Casey.  And learn to manage a whole season. 

 

Well Geelong in a Grand Final is bad enough so lets hope the swans do the job on the filth tmmrw. A Geelong and filth granny would be too much to bear.


Geelong are this year’s Melbourne - they were so p!ssed off at being humiliated twice by us last year, that they resolved to do better.

A year ago we were celebrating, what a difference a year makes. 

I stopped watching during the final quarter. I went back to watching coverage of the Queen & seeing David Beckham stand in that queue.

Dislike both teams, but the qualifying final was an awesome game, wouldn't mind watching them go head to head again. 

 

Tonight just shows how bad we were last week. 

Brisbane were out of place tonight. Should not have been playing a prelim, and would not have had we done our job last week. 


I reckon Collingwood can get it done this year. 
There’s just something about them…

Beat Sydney and I’m all in.

Hopefully Goody at least watches that SF debacle, unlike refusing to in 2018. Plenty of learnings to be had.

A little yes but i reckon they prepped for this after the 2020 loss to the Tiges.

Injected some run into the team.  And also got Cameron courtesy of the AFL.

Mind you the same thing helped the Tigers get their back to back with Lynch coming across to a premiership team lol.

The AFL are lead by a shameless bunch of incestuous boys' club tossers.

The AFL should paint a line on the ground.  Then umps wouldn’t have to shout back to the nine which is messy especially if the player plays on. No shouting. Penalise a player who doesn’t immediately head back to the line. 

Yes makes sense Sue.  Good idea

An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

I hope this prelim stings the players.

... And even Richmond would've put up a better performance than that. Embarrassing end to our season to let this mob into a prelim.

Dangerfield is such a [censored]

I wish he had been a Demon  [censored]

He could have taught Trac how hit a leading forward on the chest or kick a goal from straight in front

 

As much as I dislike Scott and his smugness his tactical brilliance is to be admired.

Like Longmire he has a clear plan for the opps playmakers while backing in his system.  For them it isn't either/or.  They do both.  Successfully.

Geelong didn't tag Neale.  Scott said before the game they knew he would get the ball but try to control where he got the ball and they would have several players for him.  At half time Jimmy Bartel said Geelong let Neale get the ball when he was facing the wrong way.

They shut Neale out by having Atkins on him at stoppages, someone to close his space and stay goal side of him.  He was picked up by whoever was closest to him.  The latter is how they played Oliver.

If Sydney win today, Longmire vs Scott will be a fascinating GF to watch.

Every Cats fan I know was happy we lost last week as they were [censored] themselves at the prospect of losing to us in a prelim again. Funny how that was how it turned out. Almost sounds planned. #dangerflag

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
