    Dont worry, we might still get an elimination final against Essendon this year

    Better now than later in the season. Though once again, it confirms that so often players are carrying injuries we don't know about that must be impacting their performance.

    Not an excuse for Sunday, but I wonder if there wasn't more going on than we knew - Max for one, May for two. Why was May playing on the less dangerous, less mobile forward, especially once it was clear that Waterman had McDonald's measure?

    Just idle conjecture, but I know from being around elite level sport in various ways from time to time that all isn't always as it seems.

    We have plenty of cover for him. Not 100% but good enough. Next in line .

    Who? Because both Hore and Disco are injured. So in fact we have 0 intercept defenders right now who are fit.

    We can probably cover a forward more easily. In which case drop Petty back and replace him.

    This might force us to abandon the failed Petty forward experiment. 

    I imagine Tomlinson will be recalled before we bury the Petty forward experiment. JVR (provided he's recalled) will play 20-25% ruck which will leave us too short in the F50 without Petty.

    I agree that Petty should go back, despite it completely stuffing up any continuity for him trying to become a forward. 
    However we don’t have forward cover either. Brown is unable to run, Schache is no good and injured, and I believe Fullerton is also injured? 
    Playing with only one tall in JVR is not going to work especially as he also has to help in the ruck.

    Tommo comes in always solid never rewarded, at least until hore or disco are ready.  Petty stays forward we need him to hit form if we are any chance of winning a final. can't rely on Roo to be our main goto all season.

    If Tomlinson doesn't come in now I have no idea why he is on our list. Yes, he's no world beater but has been Casey's best and is the natural replacement.  Petty has to remain up front given the paucity of forwards. I'm not overly confident this will occur.

    Looking ominous.

    If this injury dates back to the tweak against Hawthorn I'll be quite peeved.

    Is there anyone on our list who isn't (a) carrying an injury that should have been rested earlier or (b) coming back from injury lacking form and match fitness? Our player management is leaving a lot to be desired.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
