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.

    Training in now, plenty of red and blue around in this carriage at least.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
