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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
