Howes injures himself late in the game - looks like an ankle. Handpass to Tomlinson who gets caught and gives away the free and a goal. Junk time Casey 33 points ahead.

Sadly Howes looks to have copped a bad injury. Can’t tell if it’s a knee hyperextension  or a twisted ankles. Looked higher up the leg to me

Looked a hip flexor thing to me. Strange outwards twist of the whole leg.

Quite possibly. It was a weird looking one. Was in a fair bit of discomfort 


Commentators talking about the kids behind the goal.

It used to be a regular occurrence at the MCG, city end before the upgrades. A big standing area was a great place for the kids in the 1970's.

Pity about Howes - looks to be a player, clean and composed.

All over … a well earned win and a week off next week for Casey

Was JVR on in the last quarter- didn’t see him

Considering it’s a short turnaround to a Friday night game for the AFL maybe didn’t play the last?

I can't remember seeing him either.

Maybe because of a quick turnaround (MFC friday night game), they rested him, just in case he is needed.

Though wasn't at his best, and I reckon could do with some more time at VFL level.

Doing a lot of playing from behind.

I spoke to Jake Melksham and congratulated him on his 100th game with Melbourne.I said the club didn’t acknowledge it on their website.Jake said they probably didn’t know.If this is the case l believe it is appalling.

Luckily it didn't effect his game, played well.

Another Casey conundrum

A good win but few stand outs.

Liked Verral... he was well beaten but maybe there's something there

Laurie and Chandler were disappointing

JVR.. just okay

Schache... maybe but is he just too good for VFl but.....

Tomlinson ??

Campbell for Sandy was the stand out player

Not really, he hasn’t mentioned Collingwood.

Looked very much like hip to me. I’ve done that injury and it was incredibly painful. Much worse than broken arms etc. 

Schache has a few things we need. He is a very good set shot for goal. He is competitive in forward ruck work. He has good foot speed and athleticism for his height. Yes, he is not robust, but he only needs five possessions inside 50 to be 'the missing link', given the loss of Fritta.

Tomlinson playing says to me that they expect Petty to be fine for Friday. 

Does it really fit that because Petty might be in doubt his potential replacement wouldn’t play at all today?  Then if he pulls up ok Tommo would miss a full match play.

Are you also describing the Weed?

We know how that story goes.

Howes ooked like a medial knee injury to me but no certainty.

Jefferson took two great contested pack marks and flew well for others. Once he gets some bulk he'll be very good.

Verrall was very promising too, rucked against Tom Campbell which was tough, but really followed up well for clearances and tackles.

I really like the look of Howes. The only thing working against him is we have a balanced defence and an over abundance of running skilful half backs. It’s a good problem to have.

I reckon at 90% of other teams Howes would have had a crack at AFL level by now.

He started as a winger at Casey before being pushed out to HB.  Might get a chance for us here at some point. 

Maybe not this season though bar injuries.

Nothing substantial... just a double cramp higher up that buggered him late in proceedings.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
