It’s their first year of senior footy. Get a grip.

Both coming from a long way back in terms of fitness. 
Jefferson is 6kg soaking wet playing as a key forward.

    Sestan and Jefferson not giving much to get excited about 

    Sestan has been ok in and under in the midfield and kicked a miracle goal. I’d hate to be any forward for Casey today, our kicking into 50 has been appalling. No chance. The one decent kick we’ve had in the second half Jeffo marked but shanked the kick on goal. I wouldn’t write them off based on today.

    I've liked Howes game today.

    He still couldn’t be sub or the carry over emergency if he played a full game for Casey. Can’t front up two hours later for an AFL match. 

    Agreed but Chookrat suggested that he flew up as sub. I merely clarified that he was at the venue regardless.

    Gee this is the worst defending I’ve seen from a Casey team in many a year. Lost their DNA a bit this year from games I’ve seen.

    A total lack of pressure. Smith under no pressure kicks 15m over the head of a leading forward. 1 GC against 4 Casey players. GC player naturally takes the mark. What is going on?

    Goal to Melksham but the floodgates have opened and it’s too late - 112 to 84

    Maybe not - Joel Smith gets his second.

    Your head. If you’ve watched any Casey this year (evidently not) you’d know these two guys have shown more than most young kids do early. Guess you’re one of those blokes who like to make a criticism no matter what though, hey?!

    And that’s after putting on nearly 12 kgs since last year.

    The commentator just said his turnover inside 50 was his first mistake today. He’s had 17 touches and I’m almost certain 16 have been terrible. 

    Correct.

    Those two clowns commentated to amuse themselves.

    I think I heard a pearler from them, when one said, " I think the best way to get a clearance is to have the ball" and then another was " when kicking for goal it's best to kick accurately".

    Getting back to White, I have never seen him play worse or kick worse. Hopefully it was just a bad day.

    I thought our best were Laurie, Howes, Woey and Tomlinson.

    How are TMac and BBB going?

    a minor train wreck

    Could have won if we kicked straight but the forward set up was dysfunctional. As usual too much forward pocket delivery. Attacking players not willing to cut back to the centre hot spot 35 out. Forwards rarely on the lead

    Laurie and Spargo had decent games

    Well, in reality both statements are true. Lol

    And where does that game plan come from?

    I suspect White may have had some 2nd game soreness/blues guys after a long layoff and clean out of that knee.

    Maybe a bit of strength and match fitness / conditioning lacking.

    Remembering that most players who come into a season off a knee or something that's held em back from a normal full pre-season usually don't perform at their usual standards in some or more games on their return.

    We are witnessing a little of this imv with May at the moment.  Fingers crossed he's on the up and up though.

    White might need to be managed (off the bench for alot less game time?) at some point depending on how he pulls up today.

    Might be best not to judge him too harshly today given the above.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
