CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport

WERRIDEE
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Interesting watching the Casey today. Who plays well, who struggles, who is AFL standard, who is not etc...

You would think Turner, JVR , Bedford and Chandler look AFL standard and ready to go. Also interesting to keep my eye on Woewodin who looked very composed at times but probably a year away from being ready. Weideman, too, looks too good at times, but again, even when it was dry, he dropped marks that hit his hands clean. Disappointing. But his ruck work was really good against 

White, Chandler, Dunstan, Melksham and Munro were outstanding today.

    Extraordinary bro love and hugs for Weideman. 

    Do the players think he is leaving?

    Would love to be able to use him in the seniors in a new role.

    Maybe, although maybe they just appreciate his match winning effort against Crossley in the wet.

    Shame jay Lockhart was playing for the sharks. Thought he was good enough to be on an AFL list.

    Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

    Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

    This team is full of AFL listed young players. The only player who wasn’t there today was Rosman and he’s concussed. 
    I just don’t understand what you mean by carrying so many experienced fringe players. That’s not a Casey decision that’s a Melbourne decision. Of course Casey will play M Brown and Melksham if they’re available.

    Never said it was Casey’s decision. Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

    Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

    They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

    They really deserved the flag this year. This team has been a joy to watch.

    They never give up and really work well together.

    We've got some good ones in there.

    A good coach too by the looks.

    I think Corey Ellison might get a gig at AFL next year.  Very solid defender who also went very well up forward when needed during the season.

    Having the best seconds team bodes well for the seniors over the next 3 years at least. Nice

    Last year's draftees and Laurie (who was injured most of his first year) look like they have put on quite a bit of bulk this year.

    I would be very surprised if most of them don't get a go next year.

    We just have to trade out a few of the incumbants.

    Brown and Dunstan are direct replacements for our afl players.  younger players arn't going to come into the AFL side and if they do they arn't going to play in the midfield.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
