Jake Melksham and Adam Tomlinson are both in Perth. Make of that what you will.

 

As is JJ. 
Not unusual to have 3 traveling emergencies

    Three changes to the selected side leaves Casey with just 10 AFL listed players. Luca Goonan, Jake Melksham and Adam Tomlinson are all out of the selected side (the latter two went to WA with the team playing the Eagles). The trio have been replaced by Riley Baldi, Tom Freeman and Harvey Neocleous.

    The opening moments have been scrambly with the Dolphins, aided by the wind, drawing first blood and leading by 1.0.6 to 0.1.1 at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter.

    The lack of good ball users into the forward 50 Is worrying. Poor Schache and Jefferson. 
    Howes and AMW look brilliant.

    Some very ordinary entries inside 50 so far

    Dan Turner and Howes looking the best of mfc players so far. Wind looks to be a significant factor which we will have next quarter.

    Pretty ordinary from Casey so for. Trying to do to much and not kicking it to our forwards. Frankston beating us at stoppages. Need to lift.

    Frankston linking up well 

    Linking up well and delivering better inside 50.

    Casey just bombing in hope so far.

    Also didn't see any players leading up at the ball carrier but might have missed a few

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

        • Thanks
