Always enjoyable belting west coast. Thoroughly dislikeable mob.

    That score review guy needs to be fired. Looked like a goal to me, at worst it was worth a closer look. I'll be bringing this up in August if percentage becomes a factor! Plainly unprofessional.

    Good solid scrappy win. A 10 goal margin was probably about par. Grundy is a freak of nature.

    Well it wasn't pretty but we got the Easter eggs.

    Vineys back and so is Fritta.

    Grundy still going gangsters.

    Tmac has returned and Kozzie out for 2 weeks could have kicked six.

    McVee and Hiibberd great in our baxkline.

    Using our wings again to create opportunities. 

    Any win against eagle supporters is a goid one.

    Petty back behind the ball, BBB up forward

    For all the whining about the umpires (not entirely unjustified), we won the free kick count 22 to 16.

    Completely justified in fact. No advantage that I could see to either team, there was just simply no consistency. I use the cliché reluctantly, but the adjudicating out there was a raffle. For evidence, just look at the centre bounce ‘call backs’ alone. It’s an embarrassment to the game.

    Good to see tmac find some form and jvr snag a couple. Fritsch oozing pure class as usual. Nice percentage boost and no injuries.

    bring on the bombers

    I love being a good team. Underwhelmed by a 10 goal win in Perth

    Grundy slowly hitting vintage AA form. Imagine Pies fans watching that.

    They carp on about the fact that if they kept Grundy, they couldn't have brought in 4 players during the trade period, being McStay, Hill, Mitchell and God knows who else.

    It's quality, not quantity filth fans.

    Salem should take Bowey’s spot IMO. 

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    McVee won’t be back at Casey anytime soon. Love his balance and composure. JJ looked very good when he came on. Chandler is now a fixture. JVR is a beast. A lot to like.

    Petty was probably our one negative from the day. Never looked settled in the forward line, lost some easy one-on-ones and was moved back to defence.

    Think BBB might have to bide his time at Casey until the opportunity presents itself

    Memo to AFL

    If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

    that shot on the final score was atrocious

    Maybe we worry about Salem when he’s ready to return …

    That 50m penalty against Hunter was one of the worst I have seen.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    No. Subbed out in the last for JJ. Not injured. Just managed.

    Love Chandler's efforts, works hard in the forward 50 but runs back just as hard in defence. 

    He doesn't want to give up that spot any time soon by the looks.

    Very true, spent Easter with some Filth fans (the things you do for family peace...).  They were adamant that it was a good call to get rid of Grundy and that they'd be fine even with Cox out.  Said it's better to have players all on the same pay packet rather than someone on more like Grundy.

    Essentially what Collingwood saved getting rid of Grundy only paid for McStay.

    Great professional win.

    McVee, Grundy, Fritta, TMac, Viney, Hunter, Rivers, Sparrow all good.

    Must keep JVR in. 
    Might be a game changer for Trac’s confidence in front of goals.

    Didn't really notice but no doubt Clarrie had plenty.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
