    Can't believe Grey has gone. Casey will be unrecognisable with Grey and Munro no longer around.

    Our sides are pretty close, didn't keep up with Casey's in's and out's til now. The only difference is Spargo for Woewodin.

    Someone is going to have to step up in the tackling department. Munro was prolific and Grey often not far behind. Will miss Grey's skills.

    Very unusual to lose 2 from leadership group...I expect they both would have been peeved to have 7 available players sitting in the stands in their last game, a final. Both played critical roles in the 22 grand final.

    Yes the 7/8 available players left out was not received well at Casey. Especially give 4/5 players could have easily played without a problem really as only 3 emergencies were potentially required. In fact only Schache was added the following week and he was the unused sub.  🤮😤🤣  A question mark against the “alliance “.

    Pickett missing? Is there something we haven't heard injury wise there?

    At this stage I think Fullarton is more likely than Petty.

    I think Fullarton will play with Petty and JVR.  

    I reckon Woewodin will also play.

    That would be the ideal set-up down the track. I'm not sure Petty will be ready for round 1 though but it's still early in the pre-season yet.

    Also wouldn't be surprised to see Laurie and Howes given some game time early in the year.

    If McAdam has a big preseason fitness block I think he slots in to the best side. His combination of goal kicker and pressure player is something we don’t have in a medium or tall forward. After that:

    Backline: Hore v Turner v Tommo 
    Wings: Langdon v Hunter v Windsor v Billings v Woey
    Small forward: Spargo v Chandler
    Med forward: Fullarton v J Smith v Tholstrup v Billings 

    So many moving parts depending on game plan, match ups and if they move guys around.

    For instance if Rivers moves in to the midfield then suddenly you’ve got a competition between Hore and Howes for a back flank. And you have to decide between Tracc as a nearly full time forward, Viney as a forward or Gus on the wing. 

    I just hope they genuinely train guys up in multiple roles this summer and experiment with a heap of different line ups.

    I think Salem should only play if he is well enough and gets his strength back

    He shouldn't be a lock in selection in my view like last year Who can play his role if he doesn't come up?

    Spargo played his best game for the year in the final against Carlton. But the general consensus is we lost because we weren't linking up well which is his role. So either his best isn't good enough or we need 2 Spargos

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
