After a week’s hiatus thanks to the bye, Casey returns home for what appears to be a danger game against an improving North Melbourne. Both teams will be affected by injuries and suspensions from their AFL affiliates.

    No team details yet? I'm assuming the Melbourne emergencies (and even sub depending on playing time) will get back from Adelaide in time for thus match.

    Tight timing for the sub with a 1:35pm start at Casey.

    Not really. Plenty of flights on Saturday morning to get them to Casey on time. In the past they have been prepared to cut it pretty fine...but tomorrow wouldn't be a problem.

    Usually emergencies will fly out tonight if they're not needed.

    You're right but gee that's a stressful life for a player isn't it!

    Agreed. Would need to fly back Saturday morning I'd assume which does leave it reasonably tight (1:20 flight, 30 minutes time difference, 1:15 from Airport to Casey Fields). Might have to get up pretty early in Adelaide but business travellers catch early flights all the time between Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide.

    I would assume that. Get the emergencies to Melbourne late tonight. e.g. there's a 9:10 Virgin flight.

    Munro back ?

    No idea. It's been a course of frustration for me that Casey's most important player has been out injured for some time and I have absolutely no idea of the nature of his injury, expected time for return etc. The reality is that because he's not a Melbourne-listed player the Club  clearly doesn't believe it's their responsibility to keep us informed. Is Casey part of the Melbourne set-up or not?

    The only snippet I've heard on Munro was during the Casey coverage a few weeks ago.  I believe I heard one of the commentators mention that Jimmy had a 6 to 8 week calf injury. Can't recall exactly which game it was so I'm not inclined to go searching for it.

    Yes its all pretty p!$$ poor from MFC. 

    Casey are pretty much ignored. There should be dedicated regular update on what's happening at Casey.

    Its embarrassing that people get more information about Casey from Demonland than from MFC.

    17 of the 23 are Melbourne-listed players. At least the Sub will be genuinely Casey! (plus probably one to come in for the Melbourne Sub). The team listing is still not on the AFL website.

    I've said it before but it's not in their interest to promote the VFL. Double the attendances to 2k and you need more toilets, attendants etc etc.

    Ideally you could select say 4 grounds .. Vic Park, Port Melbourne etc etc and get them to 5k mini stadiums but until then thank heavens for the streaming coverage we now get.

    It's a pity because it's a great product for those who want to watch high class football in a relaxed and informal setting

    We need a dedicated Reserves comp and separate VFL, that isn't the hybrid mess of competing interests we have now.


    We could have double header reserves games on Sundays at venues like Vic Park, Princes Park and other good metro stadiums that DJ mentions, with extended Interchange benches to maximise flexibility for AFL listed players. 


    Meanwhile the VFL becomes a genuine and fairer second tier comp where all clubs are trying to win as their first priority and not just 'develop' players or 'give a run to a returning star'. I remember watching the 2015 VFL grand final with Cyril Rioli playing after returning from injury. They took him (the best player on the field) off at 3/4 time so as not to risk injury for the AFL Grand Final the next week. 

    I could also go back to supporting the Boroughs instead of the conflict I have now.

    Good side Munro’s injury must be serious been out for a while now. Forgot about Buntine, Koo must be the 23rd man. Farris-White must be playing in the under 18’s again.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      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.
