    Casey game tomorrow is important. If Harmes plays well, he is in.  Laurie? Howes? 

    Howes and Turner are both competing for the 3rd tall defender if Petty goes forward and we want a Hibbo replacement. Turner more ready for that job. But would love to see Howes start to demand a go.

    We’re yet to give JJ a second full game, I don’t see Harmes or Laurie jumping him. Unless Laurie is just blistering and they want him in Spargo’s role.

    Schache a small chance if they want to keep Petty back. 

    Moniz-Wakefield? I’d love to see it

    Tigers main ruckman is out so TMac may not be essential. BBB back in his place

    Lever for Tomlinson

    Hibberd for Bowey perhaps

    Laurie for Spargo

    Not panicking yet but we need to beat Richmond

    Hard to see another poor performance like this next week.. but certainly some players need to go out. Petty back forward- created a contest late.

     

    In- Lever, Hibberd, Brown.

    Out- Spargo, McDonald and Tomlinson.

    Bowey to play Spargos role. He was putrid tonight Bowser.

    If we loose to the tigers, I'm going to be feeling worst than Neeld era

    Really??? So if we are 3-3 six games in to the season, you're going to feel worse than when we were close to a laughing stock?

    I find that difficult to believe.

    Are you trying to get him killed  Fence ?

     

    JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. 

    Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight

    If fit, Brown Lever and Gawn are  must ins.

    If someone tears it up at Casey he plays on  Monday week. Someone has to be punished and omitted.

    No problem making 3 or 4 changes. Clubs do it all the time.

    No pedestrians.

    Rob Flowers Dad Al was dead against him playing as a 17year old and had to be CONVINCED by Noel Mc Mahon that he should play, But his father said no for the reasons you allude to!! His dad relented and The rest was HISTORY

    I get your piont, but if, IF Merlin fires ......... PLAY HIM!!

    I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing.  Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large,  nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. 

     

    Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here.  Let the kid develop

    SEN suggesting Bolton may get suspended. Looks unlikely to me.

    At the very least we need BBB and Lever back plus a hell of a lot of work on our brand. Dimma just given a blueprint on how to put us in a spliff by Scott if he plays talls.

    • 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.

    • 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.
