Luke Dunstan was under utilized at senior level last season IMO. Given the limited opportunities he was offered, he delivered determined consistent, honest blue collar performances. He is not afraid to get his head over the ball and plays for the team.

Given the ferocity of contest around the ball, his skills aren’t as shabby as some here would think. Get him in the engine room.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield could be anything!🤞

Not gripping, but rushing blokes back based on reputations has fallen through the floorboards again. Team performance would be better served if match ready guys had been fully rehabilitated through Casey.

Lovely stuff thanks Tarax

This club still has some learnings ahead, especially with the utilisation of Casey as a lead in to the big league for the big boys coming in cold.  Viney a great example last night.  Could not have been more under-done or out of form.

Dunstan for Harmes depending on how he goes today.

Schache (boy thats a spelling doozy)  for Max if he performs?

JVR should be straight in for Melk on any reasonable result.

    A match preview here.

    Nice jack ty.  We've got some interesting additional talls this season but have lost two handy smalls (in affect) in Chandler & Bedford.

    Hopefully Moniz can start to ramp things up and there's also Bill.  Add to that some of the Casey boys in Grey, Munro, Steele in the small/medium mix.  Probably one or two others that i've overlooked

    Maybe a good old fishing trip romp with the boys afterwards Dl4?

    Consider yourself lucky it's only after a loss.  My lil storm cloud goes there a few times a day whether we play or not (win, lose or draw!) ....

    Casey’s midfield seems to lack pace. Dunstan Jordon Munro 

    miss Baker and Bedford from 2022 

    Woey jnr also missing this week as good link runner 

    Dogs Mids seemed quicker in practice match 

    certainly drafting 2-3 quick Mids is on my list for 2023 draft

    Schache already with strong contested mark and shot on goal but pushes it right.

    Jeez Seston has had a purple patch. Took a strong contested mark and just missed only to then intercept the kick in and hit Laurie up.

    Big lad.

    James Jordon impressive in the midfield so far. So clean.

    Trent Burgoyne, Max Gregory and Miles Shepherd come into the side to replace Melksham and Tomlinson (to AFL).

    The Casey Demons are doing all the attacking and are sitting on 1.3.9 to 0.0.0 after George Grey kicks the first goal of the game.

    Bill Laurie a heap of it early on. Looks to be playing with intent.

    I thought the same. Pass him the tissues.

    Not much from JVR.. a glimpse from Schache but no more.

    Joel Smith did a little

    Conditions look perfect.. looking forward to the remaining three quarters

    Messy start seemingly in to the breeze. Most chances were long distance shots that are low percentage.

    Jeffo missed the easiest one when he played on with a rush of blood.

    So far in terms of key position watch if you combined;

    Schache’s height
    JVRs physicality 
    Jefferson’s anticipation
    Smith’s athleticism 

    You’d have a gun key forward. They’ve all got involved and Schache maybe the most chances at goal but no one standing out.

    JJ the best of the mids. 

    Very solid defensive performance across the board but not a lot of standouts from down back

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
