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.

    I know people are keen to write Laurie off, but he is as hard as a cats head.. some incredible tough efforts in the wet today. would love to see him have a look at Chandlers spot.

    Adam’s was the one being held there and they somehow give a free the other way? Weird!

    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'.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
