Casey look so unlike themselves compared to last year...

Moose, Baker & Chandler

 

KC  - thanks for all the updates.  
Joel Smith seems to have come out of the blocks early but what after that?  Hopefully not another injury. 
Looking forward to your usual interesting and informative summary.

I'd be prepared to replace JVR and TMac with BBB and Schache on that game (Perhaps)

no chance that JVR gets dropped. he might have given away some free kicks last night but at least he was tackling in his d50... you don't see TMac, BBB, or Schache doing that. I'd also prefer Smith over BBB and Tmac too but I'm probably in the minority there.

Pig, May, lever and disco?

Can Hibbo play as a second/third tall?

Turner can play Petty’s role from 2021-22. Hibberd then plays the role he played in 2021-22, as does Lever.

Turner needs to replace Petty

After last week effort..you would have to be joking.

That free for taking the North player's legs out that lead to a free and a goal in Q4 really drove me crazy.  The players are running to the ball which is heading to the North goal, casey player is in the lead and throws himself to the ground to get the ball, North player running from behind him trips over him, gets a free.   What is the Casey player supposed to do? Not pick up the ball?  OK, the rule might make sense when players are coming in from the side, but from the rear it is absolute BS.

That’s a free everyday of the week. It was extremely poor by the casey player, bend down and pick it up, cop the tackle and move on

Adjudication;

AFL as apparently the peak body responsible for Australian Rules have ‘dropped the ball’. Umpiring standards appear to be universally going south. Those men and women in high viz yellow can’t consistently bounce the ball, reward the tackler and seem content with awarding frees for incidental contact. Whilst the rolling scrum mayhem around them passes as a ‘spectacle’. Surprisingly a player wearing Demon colours was given a free kick for a push in the back. A first for this weekend.

Broadcast;

Grateful for the TV net cast but at least ensure the camera is steady, the camera person is sober and ‘Wally’ from Manchester can find and name players correctly. The numbers help.

Surely Disco could come in and play on a fwd like Amiss next week?

He absolutely could and he reads the play really well and marks everything in site

If Tommo were given a few weeks in a row in the seniors  you might find that he went back to his early 2021 form - and that would provide us with a good solid third tall defender

Nup bring brown back in. He was pretty handy before his injury 

How is that relevant now that he has returned from injury and not performing 

I just don’t think you can promote a guy who is struggling to impact at VFL level

If he kicks a few goals and puts some serious pressure on the opposition backs when he hasn’t got the ball now that’s a different situation - unfortunately that isn’t happening 

I will add that of all the players it was Tomlinson who really stood out. We just already know that he’s not very good. Which did leave me wondering if we actually have any depth that is AFL ready. I need to find my rose coloured glasses as it’s all going to sht without them.

Who's the head of football at the AFL? Oh, that's right. It's been vacant for 9 months.

He’s had enough chances, there’s no longer any point playing him, it’s over. 

Turner is too good for VFL consistently. We should promote him this week but not play him on someone he is 17 kilos lighter than like the Suns game. Laurie is moving toward a similar position and should be given opportunity during the year. Schache deserves a game ahead of Brown. Joel Smith was good but in spurts. Jordon had a Jordon game. Howes, Jefferson, Adams  and Sestan all shows signs but need another preseason or two to see where it takes them. Not convinced that Woewodin, D Smith or Moniz Wakefield can become good AFL players.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • 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?
