    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?

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
