I just think another big bodied mid is needed whilst we don't Oliver and Viney is copping a battering.

Much appreciated, Dazzle for all the input.

    Ben Brown 2 goals 1 behind 16 kicks 2 handballs 18 disposals 9 marks 1 tackle 1 hit out 95 dream team

    Nine marks is good enough for me.

    Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time 

    There's an interesting nugget among that bucket of opinion.  You might not lije Milkshake but he has and can make something of nothing.  Ar times he can be that one to pick the ball outof the air 40 out..and yes sometimes theyre in the junk zone of quarters.  Tbh...thats fine by me as we are very poor , imo, at capitalising on those periods.

    Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change 

    This should be a MUST.

    No. Disposal way off.

    I've been thoroughly opposed to Dunstan getting promoted on the back of his disposal. While he can certainly find the footy, his disposal, for the most part stinks and stops him getting a gig. Last night though, he was spot on for the 90% of the game I saw. If he could keep that up he'd get games (Jeez he'd be handy as a sub with Oliver out) and I'd love to see more of it.

    Thought Benny Brown was moving well last night. Worked hard up the ground and took a few good contested marks. He'd be my in next week.

    Thought Spargo was poor. His body language was disappointing and didn't put a performance in that screams of someone desperate to get his spot back. He can stay at Casey for the next 4 weeks based on last night's performance. 

    Vice versa on Harmes. This is his level now. Few attempts at don't argues and then just butchers going forward. Woewodin and Dunstan would be my first preference ahead of him.

    Thought Daniel Turner was super last night. Just cleaned up off half back and marked everything that came his way. Poor kid would be getting a game elsewhere in the AFL.

    Will Varrell has something. Don't know what it is, but his leap and timing was impressive.

     Re Spargo, cannot see him getting back in the side!

    The Geelong coach was Casey coach in the 2022 Grannny - correct?

    Yes correct

    He’s a genuine midfield forward and we are deficient in both areas at the moment.

    English is also my first language, I'm just really bad at it.

    *apologies for the lame set-up and joke, felt funny at the time and is sort of an inside joke as my partner, who isn't a native English speaker, speaks English far better than I do.

    Can anyone explain why Shannon Neil was awarded a free at the 24 min mark of the third when he went up against Deakyn in a 1 v1??

    Deakyn had front berth and both hands went up for the mark?

    Incredible.  Lucky Neil's kick for goal was only a minor.

    If anyone can think of a reason after reviewing it i'd genuinly be interested in your thoughts.

    Dunstan's kicking was certainly a coin flip in this match but he did pull off a ripping 40 meter kick lacing out BB on a lead into the flank at the 2:40 mark of the last from just forward of wing.

    The sealer for this match actually came from some nice work at ground level from Jefferson to Bill to Melk for an around the corner (7:30 in the last).

    Shannon was singing "What About Me" at the time and the foolish umpire fell for it.

    Pretty good effort by Jake Melksham to kick 4 goals for the Casey Demons. Worth another sneaky chance to play in the senior side?

    Perhaps he will get to play 100 games for Melbourne after all?

    That's as plausible as any explanation likely to be put forward DS!

    Very clever forward craft exponent.

    He finds space on his opponents when others often struggle.

    Takes the odd decent contested mark.

    He rarely misses from within range (say 30 - 40 max).

    I'd take him ahead of Spargo or Chandler at this point given his Casey form, experience and ability to finish off the good work up the field.

    That's not to say Spargo or Chandler can't get back to some decent goal kicking form themselves at some stage.

    However at this point, in terms of potential to finish off other's good work in front of goals, Melksham's presently a fair way ahead of those two imv.

    Best to watch the first half Sydee. 

    Most players were a bit off in the third vs the 1st half as Geelong upped their effort & pressure significantly.

    Contested aerial work, lead efforts, 2nd efforts at ground level, Ruck work up forward, a few Marks inside 50, goal efficiency and work providing an outlet up the ground should see him coming straight in.

    4th quarter was quite good also although not quite as busy/involved as his first half.

    I wish I could argue on the basis of his stats but I didn't see the game so I can't really insist otherwise. Cheers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
