KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Once upon a time there was the real VFL. Non-performing umpires who made rule interpretation stuff ups were sent to the bush. In the hope improvement was possible or they’d simply disappear. So ends today’s fairytale.

    Billings with a nice dribble goal in the wet puts Casey up by 4 points.

    Jefferson watch:

    4 touches

    3 marks

    1 goal

    EDIT: 5 touches with an outstanding pass to McAdam who misses

    Casey system looking good, but terrible conditions making it a slog. Jefferson persistently presenting and they are finding him. Our smalls looking good.

    Opponents arms pinned ball release is neither by kick or handball. Play on what happened to HTB?

    Kentfield has a set shot and somehow hits the very top of the goalpost.

    Sestan good mark but is he at the crossroads in the next few months?  

    Just isn't getting alot right, other than the odd opportunist goal or goal assist and the work rate / skills / positioning and defence are pretty average.  No speed across the ground either.

    Adams looking like he might be a bust?  I just can't see any weapons or skills that would see him capable of stepping up to AFL level.  He barely impacts at this level.

    Another BS rule ‘amendment’ full back can run 20+ meters to kick out after behind. Complete the farce erase or enlarge the goal square.

    For me Sestan is all about his fitness capacity, because he needs to be able to cover ground AND have burst speed to play his role.

    So I reckon an extension for Sestan is about whether they thing another preseason is what he needs, rather than pure talent.

    The more accurate Bullants lead 6.2.38 to Casey 4.8.32 late in the second term.

    I’m looking after my iPhone in the wet up here so reports are not going to be made regularly through the afternoon.

    Too laconic for mine though deanox.  The 'want' / work rate factor, even at this level, just isn't there this season.  In very small patches...yes occasionaly.

    he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

    laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

    Nothing at all weird DistrAction.  Par for the course.

    Yep. Jury's out for me but if we drop out of the finals race in the near future I think it's time to give him a run at games at AFL level. Seems like a player lacking confidence when his in the senior team but it's hard to fault his form in the VFL. He is contracted so let's find out. Would be a bonus if he showed something with the 'big boys'.

    • 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.
