    aaaaaargh!   Never mind. lol.

    Seriously , isnt Pink Lady the brand name or used to be of a certain street product in St kilda?  . just saying.

    This would be one of those things that happened when you were living overseas - we helped facilitate breast cancer awareness and some men were so secure in their sexuality that they could wear pink/salmon clothing. Still there are some that projected their own homophobic self hatred but that’s a history lesson for a different mirror.

    Wouldn't we have to travel if we come up against Brisbane or Port in the prelim? E.g. they finished higher on the ladder and so play a home game, or does us winning our Qualifying place us ahead of them from a home v away prelim perspective?

    If you win the QF you get a home Prelim.

    If you lose the QF or win an EF, the Prelim is an away game.

    If we win our first QF regardless of location and regardless of opponent, our Prelim is at the MCG. Even if the opponent finished higher.

    For those that have seen Laurie, could he potentially be the replacement for the Hunter wing next year and beyond?

    Don't think so. Has never shown that at Casey IMO. The more likely for that role is Woewodin

    I wonder if they will try to recruit Liam Henry for that position?

    I think more likely Blake Howes hopefully.

    Worrying the kind of first quarter Blues have just had against Suns. Hope we come out firing but as Binners said it was such a taxing game we could struggle early doors…

     

    we will win.omen. Went to the local bws this morning bloke behind the jump dead set ringer for  ED

    Not sure which JJ you're talking about. He certainly doesn't have pace.

    He’s quicker than you think!

    Who's going to be our sub?  Maybe Grundy...imagine that!

     

    (I know, probably Spargo or JJ, how uninspiring)

    This match is giving me nightmares. Imagine having to beat Sydney to stop Carlton from pinching fourth spot

    Hawthorn won’t fold the way GC did, either. 

    If we fall 40 down, all hell is going to break loose. 

    A good start tomorrow will do wonders for our hearts.

    With Carlscum winning in a close one today positions in the top 4 are heating up.

    Tomorrow is going to be massive.

    Destiny is in the hands of the Melbourne players themselves.

    We cannot underestimate Hawthorn.

    Yes, as mentioned by @titan_uranus, a good start is imperative as we need to take the umpires out of the equation.

    To quell any doubt I AM being serious. I'm sure AFL HQ would love us to lose this game for the theatre it would create in the final round. I may be wearing a tinfoil hat but it doesn't mean I'm wrong!

    So who do we think McGuinness will go to tomorrow?

    Whoever he goes to it will be a learning experience. Tracc or Clarry.

    played a fair chunk of time here at Casey

    Howes originally started as a winger at Casey before being pushed to HB

    Can see him taking this role on though no problems

    We can't afford to drop this game. losing 2 of last 3 games is just not flag winning form. 

    Hawks will be tough but we will win. We have to.

    I’m expecting a decent 5 goal victory!
    If we can’t be Hawthorn we don’t deserve a top 4 position.

    And we know Carlton are sniffing up our butts for the double chance. We have to win and win well. Not to mention it would be embarrassing to lose in Gawn’s 200th.

    Both Collingwood and Brisbane lost to Hawthorn.

    They don’t deserve it either?

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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?
