Did Tholstrup get injured? I missed parts of the game but didn't spot him in the last. Perhaps carry over for tonight?

    He took a few head knocks and was tested in the first half.

    Weddle gives me Jayden Hunt vibes

    Lachy Hunter 23 disposals, 6 marks, 6 tackles, 3 clearances... 11th for both teams in fantasy points... We'd be rapt if Kynan or Koltyn had those stats!

    Exactly. Way too early to judge a young tall. No one else (below Jefferson) has done much either. Looks like a very weak draft early days.

    You'd think with Ben Brown out of the AFL you'd give him a proper rest and let Jefferson try and own the forward 50, instead its the land of the lanky talls with Schache, Brown and Jefferson all running to the same spot.

    Totally agree. When people see the stats they’re very quick to write off Jefferson. Not sure he’s got the best shot at it being surrounded by the giants in that line. Not to mention Joel Smith was in there for a lot of it last year too at Casey.

    Stats look good on paper. Tomlinson had 37 and was average. Had 4 kicked on him. Kicked out of full back and dump kicked at least 50% of his possessions. Hunter was caught doing too much. A few nice things but he shouldn’t be anywhere near the 22.

    Not all talls come through and dominate straight away. Some take time, hence Melbourne extending his contract to 26’ so early because they were and are aware of that.

    That’s pretty good seeing that it is only Hunters second hit out for the year, so building nicely and Tom Fullarton is doing himself no harm as well.

    Jefferson’s intensity is pathetic. No defensive focus in his game and zero ground game. He won’t make it.

    No but they show something, I like hunger but I’d settle for an appetite with pick 15.

    Not bad but it was the lack of quality of a few too many disposals for mine plus he is still a fare way off his optimum fitness / strength me thinks. 

    Certainly not writing him off either.

    Coming from a long way back and too early to judge his form solely on these last two matches.

    Let's see how he fares over the next block of 3 to 5 eh.

    I thought Hunter had no influence at all.

    Our ball handling and disposal was garbage.

    The Captain probably turned it over 10 times himself.

    So many dropped marks and handballs.

    BBB’s last two games in the AFL and VFL have been simply horrible. Unless he can turn that around, I fear he may be very close to retirement.

    A couple of positives, while I don’t see Fullerton as a ruck, his game today was his best for Casey, he was very good. We need to develop his forward craft and then along with Verall we will have some depth up forward. Verall while not really extra tall, can ruck and has some serious talent. He actually is doing the things LJ did and with further development could be a beauty.

    Sestan also is improving.

     but who is the coach if the match day co-ordinator has minimal input into game plan and selection.

    The reality is that the result does not matter nearly as much as the individual output. Southport for example is a strong team in this competition but few if any of its players have a chance at making an AFL team

    So the Casey coach cannot make moves then or change how they play during the game interesting....

    Only within the context of Goodwin's overall plan. He would be allowed to tinker but the game plan and the playing method is pre-set.

    This year we chip it around and take on the corridor occasionally. Last two years it has been mainly a boundary game. It mirrors the senior team.

    It was worse when the VFL team was unaligned such as we had with Sandringham. Our players were often played in positions or in ways that ran contrary to the needs of the MFC AFL team. Juice Newton and Sauntner was the classic dilemna

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
