Turner has been outstanding under pressure 

 

Lohman has been impressive for the Lions. Might get a chance next week with McCarthy out injured. Ooc and dogs apparently keen.

Will see what we need in near 3 quarters

Not whether he can play a full game we won’t.


Adams has developed nicely this year after a slow start from a limited pre-season. Fair bit to work with as a key defensive prospect.

 Agree, I thought Jefferson was starting to look bigger, especially in the hip area. Muscle is building well, which I thought wouldn't happen.

Spargo gone quiet this quarter

Could probably add some value with some stints in the midfield I would have thought.


TMac not applying any fwd defensive pressure. Spargo playing well for mine. Like to see Hibbo lift.

Surprised to see Pig has had some many disposals but there you go. Rate him a cut above most vfl players......

3 tackles, the second highest for the dees. has been fine for a tall forward

And had a couple of poor tackle attempts.  was very good in the first though.

Some of our poor turnovers were from senior players who should be doing much better at this level.

Only one who is putting their hand up for selection are Woewodin and Daniel Turner.

Think that is harsh on T Mac and Hibbo. Agree that the mistakes are bad (a combo of running under the ball and delivery [due to no judging the wind]).

Thought Tom is our most likely key forward replacement atm. Kicked 2 goals and contesting.

Jefferson continues to improve, picking up kicks around the ground. He is a nice mark and lovely kick for goal, as demonstrated by his his beautiful shot today from about 45 out.

Daniel Turner is so dependable in the backline. Will be stunned if he isn’t a regular in the seniors soon.

I still like Deakyn Smith and would persevere with him. Woey going ok too.

Size would help, but the two big contests he lost was he thought he had it and a smaller, quicker opponent stole the ball, turned and ran. Annoying, but not something he can’t fix for the second half 

Edited, as I was wrong.

6th guarantees a week off, as 7 to 10 play for wild card entry into finals.

Dan Turner will be the biggest beneficiary of Petty’s forward form.

Good the AFL is trialling this nonsense instead of working out a way for Casey to not have a bye every second week

Lost count of the Casey errors in that last series of plays

Same old poor disposal costing them this game which they had controlled.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
