That makes the Casey team -

CASEY DEMONS

HF: G. Grey (68), M. Jefferson (21), A. Moniz-Wakefield (45)
F: O. Sestan (38), T. McDonald (25), J. Melksham (18)
R: J. Bell (73), B. Laurie (16), J. Munro (47)
INT: R. Baldi (56), T. McRae (76), T. Sheridan (53) R. Steele (54), R. Valentine (65)

I would think at least one more MFC player goes out to fill the sub role and another as emergency.

    Any idea when Mitch White is due back?

    Saw him on Gosch's with the rehabber group Saturday. 

    Mainly running laps by himself. He didn't want to kick when another player ask him to do some short passes. Pointed at his left groin/abdomen. I'd  guess still 3/4 weeks away.

    Really interesting to see how Tom Sheridan goes for Casey today.

    Have heard some big wraps on him.

    Tom McDonald playing at Casey Fields, as is Tomlinson. Daniel Turner not out there.

     It looks as though Jake Melksham is the sub for Melbourne today.

    Laurie is playing much more consistent footy, amazing how an endorsement at the higher level helps his confidence and application.

    One quarter down and the Dees lead by a goal despite Swans dominating general play. They also look to be giving us trouble aerialy as well.

     

    Let's hope Casey can get more of the ball this quarter and get a bit more separation on the score board.

    McDonald, Tomlinson and Laurie probably the best of the Demons with Howes getting a bit of it as well.

    Adams looks mote comfortable than last week, getting out bodied a few times by a much more seasoned player in Francis which is fine given the discrepancy there in development and size.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
