    God help me if we have more faith in Schache v Tommo

    Schache is uncompetitive at Casey, please never again 

    He kicked four goals this last week!  You may need to eat your hat if he gets a chance.

    Poor Casey might need to pick some Demonlanders to play for them this week.

    Casey have the week off due to the representative state game on Saturday between the SANFL and the VFL which is part of the Gather Round.

    Can I just say that I'm loving the commitment and spirit that Jake Melksham has shown since his ACL. He could've proudly retired last year, but has the hunger for one last shot. His professionalism in rehab is showing the rest of the list that we must not take winning for granted, this is our time. He's going to be an asset in the back half of the season

    I can see him being a future super coach.

    knows what’s needed to get a game given serious adversity and the commitment to get to a level good enough to deserve that game. 
     

    He should inspire the playing group to go further. Best these crow eaters !

    BBB may be rested for Schache, as no point in destroying what's left of his knee, with a 5 day break.

    Crows are not strong in key backs, so Schache could go ok.

    Given the training reports of Chin looking upset, it could be Kolt in for his first.

    I think Woey will get a full game, as he was sub and is fresh from Saturday.

    The thing BBB does that Schacke doesn’t is present to the half back line to get a mark that helps us exit defence 

    I think Schacke has been tried and tried with us and other clubs and is just too lacking in impact 

    it’s what you bring when the ball isn’t delivered lace out - Jvr bbb make it a contest

    One thing that BBB does which always goes unnoticed is his deft taps in marking contests. Watch Fritch’s first goal from Saturday - came from BBB deliberately tapping the ball to the back of the contest for Fritsch to run onto. Does it week after week, and of course doesn’t show up on the stat sheet, but is invaluable to the way we play.

    If BBB can remain fit over the season and show what he shown the first few weeks- he is a huge asset to our flag push. Gives us great flexibility and frees up Petty to play either forward or back

    Someone in the Facebook comments on the training report mentioned that Marty Hore was not training either getting an injury assessed.

    BBB is a smart footballer with pure footballer's brain no one can deny that, we have to be smart in our management of him, he is an important cog in our system.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
