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 

     

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

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
