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.

    Casey went 20-1 for the year, with an average winning margin of 42 points... what a 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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
