    That was a fun game to watch. Youngsters really showed their worth.

    Geez Jefferson can certainly take a good strong clunk. 7 marks and kicked 0.4. Still needs a bit of work but the talent is certainly there.

    It's a pity poor old Schache copped a knee to the head because on today's form he was absolutely in line to replace Max. JVR didn't do his chance any harm. Just play the kid and get some games and experience into him now.

    AMW, Howes and Kye Turner were all very impressive as well. Turner certainly provides drive off half back and AMW has a crack.

    Seston is an unfinished product. Definitely needs to work on his tank and consistency throughout games, but when he does look out. The kid can play.

    Was about to ask that?  Copped a knee in the head late in Q3 so hopefully not concussed. 

     I was in and out watching the game and missed the Schache injury. He was excellent in the parts that I watched, kicked a few goals and took some contested marks. I thought he looked like a shoe-in for next week. What's the prognosis?

    At first it seemed to be just an issue with his eye but Unfortunately he has been concussed.

    That is so disappointing for Josh and MFC some players just don’t get the breaks.!!

    Not a bad game to watch. I thaught the whole Casy side contributed to the win. First one I amgoing to mention is Seston. He can ply. A good mark and has good ground skills. Can read the play well also. I would be replacing Melksham with Jordan next week but the main one is Max. If Schache is okay then he should replace Max but if not then JVR who i taught got better as the game went on. I was not greatly impressed with Dunstan or Laurie. Good at vfl but not for afl.

    That really sucks for the boy. 
    I think last night showed that McD really shouldn't be the back up ruck. Schache would have been great given his game today.

    I don't think we should drop McD at all. His body work helps the other forwards and he's back up for defence. Just don't put him in the ruck.

    Is this the time to (finally) unleash JVR?

    Bugger.  So now he's got a minimum 12 days to curse his rotten luck 🙄

    I thought Jefferson was supposed to be an elite set shot kick? Any idea what happened?

    I thought it was his marking rather than his kicking. But I also haven't seen the points today, so they could just be hard shots.

    Not all of his scoring shots were set shots. However there was one in the last quarter that missed narrowly. Given it went through near post high from 55 metres,  I think the boy can kick it a bit.

    1. 45m kick 45 degree angle in to the breeze sails through narrowly left 

    2. Sharks the subsequent kick in, probably nervous about the wind and the miss, plays on and gets partially smothered. I’d imagine he would usually go back and nail this one, just a rush of blood

    3. Quality quick snap in heavy traffic that doesn’t catch the breeze, not a bad effort 

    4. Long range set shot with the wind that probably started just left when he needed it just right of the goals. Not a bad kick, made the distance easily 

    Not sure what the 5th was.

    Great, thanks for the info. Wind obviously a factor.

    Beautiful set shot routine. 

    Any astute observers compare Seaston - when he gains AFL fitness - to any current or well known player’s role?  (Hopefully the comparison to Tapscott was either tongue in cheek or to his build and not his footy output.)

    Good question.

     

    I didn't see Daniel "Disco" Turner out there today?

     

    Was pleased with the performances of many of our players.

     

    Thought Matthew Jefferson did alright with a few good marks. Just gotta learn to kick straight.

    Yes and I noticed he has a bit of mongrel in him too, which was surprising. When he develops, he and JVR will be the keys in our forward line.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
