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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
