    I see Tarryn Thomas is playing. Must have completed part four of his educational program. ‘I must remember it’s wrong to blackmail women.’

    BBB has to perform!!! 

    He's played his role at Casey the last few weeks NS.

    Barring a bad fail today, Goody needs to get him in imv with JVR and the other forwards / mids and finally settle on an approx 23.

    A little too much tinkering up forward,  through the middle (Kozzy, Jordon, Gus) and with Petty as an experimental forward.

    As Dazzle suggested, Bring in Disco to free up Lever to his usual and most effective role as interceptor vs taking the 2nd best D where he aint so good.  At least until Petty returns.

    Kozzy back to mostly crumbing pressure forward pls and FCS train him to get to the right spots more often.

    Settle the team into their usual 'strength roles' or we risk becoming a jack of all trades and will probably continue to be shakey up against the top 5 - 6 clubs who will play on these weaknesses and look to exploit them.

    At 666 we are lacking a class outside mid with some foot speed and one more extractor / heavy hitter inside.

    That last one might be Dunstan for Jordon / Sparrow but of course he is now out for a while.

    Dunstan almost the best user of the ball by hand at the club in traffic.  We desperately need a distributor in the clinches, especially at 666, who can handball further than a few feet.

    Dunstan can bring that release handball to outside receivers (Tracc/Lingers & Hunter) at stoppage which sees us changing lanes a little and giving different looks for forwards with the kick inside 50.

    The inside / outside could be Harmes but not sure where he's at and seems to have fallen out of favor with the FD till now?  Has played a few decent games at Casey and shown some form but does he fit any role in this team from here i wonder?

    It’s disappointing that Dunstan is out.  I’d be tempted to bring him in to help win or at least break even at clearances.  

    Dunstan had 5 games for us in 2022. We won four of them but I cannot recall him impacting the game. Most say he's too slow for AFL.

    Im not saying he's anywhere near this level but most also said that about Diesel as he made others around him look like millionaires with elite distribution by hand. The too slow talk quickly went out the door.

    Can we afford to bring Dunstan in off the bench as a mostly specialist 666 extractor/distributor?

    IMO, his limited ability to hit a target is the thing that keeps him out of the AFL side.

    Is Deakyn Smith worth a consideration for Jake Bowey?

    Is Bowey out for sure this week?

    Mitch White still struggling with his foot skills. First kick was out on the full and second was a scrubbing kick which bounced through players for a goal. It is hot early in this game.

    Mitch White played for Mansfield last week while Casey had the bye. As expected he was BOG.

    • 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.

    • 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.
