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.

 

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.

  • 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.
