    currently unwatchable. A big bodied ruck from a suburban team dominating and too strong for Verral or Fullerton. Methinks Fullerton spends too much time compiling and he doesn't appear to like body contact. The mid field is deplorable. Today we are way too slow. Laurie, Brown are too small and slow hence the opp speedy mid has umpteen clearance 21 kicks and has run them off their feet.

    Coburg switch play at every opportunity  and continually run the ball down one side of the ground unopposed. they run hard, tackle harder and will have a big win.

    the only positive is Jefferson marking and tackling the rest of the forwards are getting frost bite as the ball rarely enters the forward line. Casey look right off today

    Smashed at clearance 

    No chase or smart defensive  positioning to slow down their d50 exit 

    Big focus on territory, forward half turn over and clearance from the coaches box

    I know it's difficult to retain players but a strong  Casey outfit has been the bedrock of our success in recent years. Young players greatly benefit from being in competitive and successful VFL teams. This apparently is no longer a priority . Regardless of any comeback to be touched up by a lowly Coburg with its own injury concerns is embarrassing and concerning.

    Thoughts so far

    Fullerton: really needs to be more physically, strange recruitment decision IMO as getting taught a lesson by a local ruckman

    Tholstrup: love his physicality, but his positioning is really poor and quite underwhelming for a 1st round pick

    Jefferson: love how he plays in front and applies pressure, just needs to convert

    Brown: needs to find more of it and hit the gym

    Laurie: needs to clean up his disposal as he has no trouble finding the pill

    Adams: barely sighted 

    Howes: needs to show more intensity. Loves jogging half paced

    Moniz Wakefield: not a defender. Should be in the fwd line

    Sestan: very disappointing for a guy almost in the 1s. His second efforts are poor

    Also a bit confused why luker isn't playing ? Assume he's injured as it's not great for development just letting him sit out of games

    How did the Gentile not get picked in the mid season draft?

    May as well be watching Warner out there.

    The club would rather take an 18 year old averaging 9 touches a game with potential, than a ready to go midfielder absolutely tearing it up

    This has gone on long enough.

    I would spend the first 10 minutes of half time getting the midfielders doing sprints across the centre square. Maybe some ground pick ups and handballs both sides just to see their hands are working.

    The Experiment with Fullarton starting in ruck needs to stop and he should be HFF. Even if he hits it, he doesn’t know where it’s going.

    literally got drafted three days ago, from wa - has he even moved across yet?

    tholstrup loves a tackle; means he's second to the ball a lot

    Most of the draftees I've seen get a flight the next day. So he should have been here Thursday

    Just an average player made to look good by a total lack of defensive intent.

    He could be at the game, or trying to sort out accommodation.

    Much better intensity from Casey. Jefferson and Kolstrup working hard and in everything up forward. Again, finishing and composure still a concern.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      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.
