Feel like May has looked hindered this season, particularly bending to pickup a ground ball. Might be time for a rest this week?

No Lewis is too good. 

May will be needed  Petty also possibly.

    I also think the oppo's are really doing well to curb May's influence... Our defensive setup behind the ball has been our 1-wood for a few years now and so its not unexpected that our opponents go to school on us. I do wander how we will fair if Petty eventually goes back behind the ball.

    Thanks Kev

    Was JVR there in good spirits, or was he nursing a severely injured bicep with which he tried to murder that GW$ guy??

    Do you mean the GWS guy that was playing for the Suns?

    Yes, looked like a brainstorming session of more than 5 minutes, and Petty was into it. I'd say Petty is working out of the backline, or at least the swing man.

    All the "Petty has to go back to defence" landers go...

    K.Turner and Verrall, have been increasing their work load, Kyle more so than Verrall.

    I have forgotten - why did we recruit Verrall? How big is he? Thanks

    A few of us from the Demon Army bumped into Sparrow and his mum and gf at a kebab place after the game.  Maybe the team ate some troublesome street meat?!

    Chaplin said Rivers was sick prior to the game, could be some sort of bug running through the club at the moment.

    Played well for being unwell. Measure of a pretty good player.

    Will showed a bit in the pre season games and I was very keen to see him in Casey colours. Shame he has had an interrupted season as he looks quite promising.

    Ruck and possibly even develop as a key forward is his chance. Can take a mark, looks pretty mobile and he is a decent size for his age.

    Where did you find the training info? Or did you just show up knowing they train the same time roughly each week?

    I'm looking to go Wednesday morning at Gosch's but the club website is showing April 23 as the last advertised session. Any tips on what time I should show up?

    Yes, just guess work.

    They have been having their main run out at Casey, usually at 9.30 am, 3 days before the game day (Wednesday this week).

    The next one at Gosch's is the captain's run, the day before the game also at 9.30 am (Friday this week).

    They have a recovery run on Gosch's, usually Monday at 11.30 am.

    If last year was any indication, it's a hard no from me.

    Should play 2 to 3 Casey games and then come into the seniors. 

    I would say 2 or 3 Casey games and see how he goes.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
