I always like to see Melbourne win but, if I have a choice, I’d rather the team finish the game injury free.

    Let’s just build and refine what we saw in last week’s scratch match.  The score doesn’t matter, but if we do these things, we’ll win anyway ……… and of course, no injuries.

    Is either game going to feature on Casey Radio?


    Would love to see McVee again press his claims to a round one berth. And hoping for a clarry goal. Love a clarry goal, usually means we are dominating. 

    Apparently Fritsch isn't playing today again?

    Should we be worries about him for R1?

    He is easily our 3rd or 4th most important player (50+ goals the last 2 seasons).

     

    So missing as far as I can see are:

    Viney, (inj) Fritsch, (inj)  Salem, (inj)  Tomlinson, ??  Rivers, (wonder why ?) Dunstan and J Smith of the "worthy"  to be selected otherwise I like the strength of the squad. 

    anyone wish to add to my concerns ?

    Rivers has been named in the back pocket. 

    Dunstan is still recovering from a hamstring injury in one of our last intra-club match sims before the practice matches started. 

    Tomlinson was playing for Casey last week and I assume he’ll play for them again today. 

    Joel Smith also just resumed training in a limited capacity just before the match sims. Did he play for Casey last week against the Saints? If so he’ll likely play again this week. Otherwise I expect he’ll be a week or two away from returning via Casey.

    No injuries and further refinement of our forward 50 approach.

    Would like to see Nankervis cop a belt or 2. He's meted out plenty of punishment to Maxy over the journey so would like to see the ledger evened up a little. Any by legal means of course. I don't want any suspensions.

    Win or lose does not matter. No injuries please.

    Who knows.

    MFC website barely ever updates fans on the injury front.

    This was discussed on another thread.  Fritsch's foot was stomped on by accident in training a few weeks back.  They're managing it conservatively and letting him heal (which is going well apparently).  It's not on the website because this is the kind of injury that teams will exploit / target Fritsch for

    As i can't make it, and find the low camera angle at VFL grounds unwatchable understandably, the DL post match thread will suffice. Unless someone wants to rent a crane and live stream illegally 😂

    I'm beginning to think Chris Scott might be onto something with the 18 min quarters and 26 rounds instead of 2 potato quality praccy match Sims.

    One of the ugliest aspects of football is the players who deliberately injure others!  I alternate between disgust and fury, and sadness for our boys on this front

    Glad it's not really seen in AFLW and hope it never is!

    man they are really struggling for ‘notable’ absentees from the Tigers team

    pretty much full strength

    Yep....feel dirty shelling out for Kayo. Love of club I guess greater than contempt for the Murdoch clan.

    Gee we are spoiled. Is it just me that can remember only one replay on the weekend in the good old days. And it was rarely our team in it.

    Yes the old am radio had to suffice.

    It’s only started to drop off in the last 5 to 10 years.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
