The Dees will face the Pies in the Qualifying Final at the MCG with the winner playing at Home in the Preliminary Final. All eyes will be on the Medical Room as Jake Melksham was subbed out of the match with what looked like a serious knee injury and both Bayley Fritsch and Jake Bowey came from the ground at time with what looked like serious complaints but then both returned. Tom McDonald kicked 5 goals and Brodie Grundy 3 in Casey's massive 101 point win over North Melbourne in the VFL Wildcard Final.

Who comes in and who goes out?

    Other than the colour of your shorts, are there any advantages to the ‘home’ team when it’s a home ground to both of them..?

    Do Collingwood get a higher ticketing allowance?

    The colour of your jumper? We'll have to don the royal blue if recent encounters is anything to go by, even though there really is no clash at all

    Out: Melksham (if injured) 
    in: TMac

    Hibberd for Bowey potentially?

     

    Sadly I think it will be melksham out and we will bring tmac in.

    Hibberd must be a chance, how’d he go today?

    It’s too early. I’m off to toast our top 4 finish.

    I think he's still in concussion protocol?

    Do Casey play next week.

    Yes... against Bulldogs

    Will be interesting to see if we play TMac, Tomlinson and Laurie in that match. After the Fritsch scare they won't dare play him

    Spargo's game at Casey was just okay. Jordon was arguably BOG

    Good to get another look at Grundy. Didn't watch the match but he went ok from what Ive heard.

    When are tickets on sale?

    Especially first half I felt the fwds had no leading patterns. Can’t remember how many kicks were squeezed down the pocket because there wasn’t anything decent and Smith and JVR weren’t providing much presence. T-Mac has got to come in, and I think smith would have been the man out before melkshams knee.  
     

    I liked turners game, so hope he sticks around, though hibberd would be an upgrade. Wait and see around Bowie obviously. 
     


    IN: T Mac, Hibbo

    OUT: Melk, Disco

    I don't think they'll play Tomlinson

    Absolutely no way Hibbo is coming back into the team lol

    Gutted for melksham that looked really bad

    TMac in smithy supersub, ?
    don’t think turner did enough to stay in so hibbo a good chance

    An absolute master class that included taps to players, taking the ball from the ruck, groundball follow up and of course 3 goals

    Players are kicking down the door at Casey but so few slots available.

    Hibberd is a Grunt perfect for finals but so is Tmac and Grundy.

    No room unless Melksham is injured.

    Goodwin will stick with the plan. Hes done it all season.

    • 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.
