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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
