    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
