    7 players over 200cm, 5 over 195 and 6 over 190 (incudes Kye Turner).    Nearly half the list.  Is it the tallest team we've had? Includes 6 of the 8 we drafted.

    Realistically though, BBB has 1-2 years left and Max probably 2-4, so that’s 2 gone in a few years. Schache might last the same as BBB, or maybe Max, so that’s another.

    But yes, it would have to be one of, if not the tallest list we have had.

    At 25yrs old he could also be around for a while if he can stay fit and healthy. Even if that means he is playing at Casey for the majority of the time.

    I’m going to take it that the players either trained early or alternatively, didn’t train at all in order to watch that Superbowl nonsense.

    New guy or gal appears to have their training wheels on (big shoes after Gibbo to fill in) Most shots were rather static rather than action freeze motion. Exceptions were two fabulous portraits of Harry and Will no doubt Megan and Kate will be impressed.

    I flew in this morning from the Central Gippsland wetlands to Casey,  to check out MFC training,  for the first time since Grand Final week 2000,  and maybe even to give a report.

    Perhaps the fact that I was obviously the only observer,  for several hours,  should have been a dead giveaway,  but a genial Richo enlightened me.  ''How did you get in,  don't you know it's a closed session,  and do you work for a club?"

    ''Mate'', I say, ''Richo,''' I say, ''I'm   just a retired schoolteacher with too much time on my hands!'' ''No worries'',says a grinning Richo.

    Anyhow,  I'd love to give a scintillatingly informative report, but [1]. it would probably all be redacted, and [2]. duck season is imminent.

    Hnnmm Must be a common thread being retired with too much time on our hands. But PLEASE given Im generally the only one venturing out to Casey, I would love a penny for your thoughts!??

    Cheers P.F

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
