J.Smith, no follow up to his good 2nd quarter. Fell out the game as his opponent tightened up on him.

Harmes doing well.

    Agree, Melksham is outstanding at this level which is where he should stay.

    Far far too good for VFL but not quite constant enough for AFL. But when Melksham is on he is on.

    McDonald has got better as the game has gone on as well.

    Melksham doesn’t impact enough at AFL. He’s a good sub but he isn’t a 4 quarter player.

    Could have fooled Carlton last year.

    I saw a clip of Melksham’s goal where he kicked it up to himself. McDonald looked like he could barely walk, let alone run. 

    Has he improved since then or is he injured?

    Melksham 5 sausage rolls has been superb. 

    Geez for all the bagging of TMac ive see nhim take about 5 marks second half, kick a 2nd goal and helped set up others. Some here just love to bag our own. 

    Turner has been excellent down back. 

    Brown looks proppy and not quite right to me.

    as the sub he replaces Harmes

    If Petty doesn't return he takes Schache's spot in the 22

    We’d be far too short if we replace Schache with Melksham. Leaves JVR as our only tall forward.

    Melksham’s VFL form is good but his recent AFL form has been poor. Sub only IMO.

    I agree. He was crucial in the last 2 minutes of that game. The problem is he's not consistent and does not exhibit the selflessness we're trying to communicate to the rest of the team.

    I'm not bagging him in general. He's a strong mark, presents well and works hard up the ground. But he's slow, tries to unsuccessfully break tackles all the time, and makes skill errors that an AFL player shouldn't make. He should look at a player like Mitch White who is very limited but only tries to do what he's capable of.

    I agree with you about Turner. He to me was the obvious standout from an AFL perspective. Despite very poor Casey midfield pressure on Box Hill's running players he stood up superbly.

    Melksham main issue is that he doesn't apply enough pressure to disrupt opposition transition out of our FWD 50

    Yep - I remember a game vs Richmond back in 2019 (ugggh) where they beat us comfortably, but Melky kicked 4 - brought the Harlem Globetrotters that day - very strong. Wish he could be more consistent - from game to game, and within games. Let’s be honest, he’s got game!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
