Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

    It’s currently raining here in Casey. Let’s hope it clears up. We know what happens to us in the rain 🙄

    weather will, you would think, keep it tight and make it a wet ball game, which probably suits the crom more than us

    mouch will revel as an inside bull who turns it over a lot, and they will REALLY miss laird and rachele's ball skills

    today's one of the ones where i just expect the dees to get it done in a professional, relatively gritty win

    Media still ripping into  MFC . Its been a long week. Now theyre hinting that Goodwin would make a good coach for the Crows in 2025.

    Get it done today Dees.  If for any reason just shut the media up. FFS

    We just need to bank the points.

    But on a side note come along for the bluey entertainment. The kids will love it. 

    Is this a thing?

    Genuine question. I am brining my son.


    I think today is a critical marker for our fortunes this year.  Adelaide will want to attack through the corridor, it's our best chance to practice and display our ability to deal with this.

    Weather will clear nicely by game time.

    Expect a perfect Melbourne winter's day, blue skys and hardly a breath of wind.

    Only a mll od rain has faen so ground might be a touch slippery, but not sodden.

    MFCSS is shrouding my judgement.

    Why did it have to rain. Makes it a closer call than it would have been if dry


    Hail rain or shine, if we're contenders we have to win this. We can smell September now so no more slip ups.

    Maybe not a bad thing to clean up our skills in the wet, in preparation for a potentially wet final..

    Win or lose, I'd like to see Tommo play a blinder

    Reckon he's underrated, way too good for VFL 

    Stiff I agree, just would like him to succeed and do enough to keep his place.

    Think it frees up Lever to float and intercept, which is his thing and benefits us greatly.

    Wet or slippery game, still drizzling here in the city. Forecast says the sprinkle is abating.

    Marks are so important to our structures. At least, I hope we play infront and have the right boots on.

    We have been playing consistently over the four quarters (better than previous years, and last week drop in 2 and 3 was an aberration, plus a little bath water), showing we have built our maturity.

    Love our young players. The mids are doing well, led by Gus, with Clarry out and Tracc foward. 

    C'mon those on the edge of selection, push hard today. 

    Our team is so much more flexible in our set ups and styles now, good coaching. We must be a headache to play against. 

    Go Dees.

    Less than 1ml of rain predicted

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
