    Tough loss. 

    Great opportunity however to bring Jefferson in to work in tandem with JVR for the rest of the season. I know there are those who want to keep him in a humidicrib until he's 26...but now's the time to give him a crack.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

     

    I said the same. A stupid decision. Kosi wins it and he can run it forward. No idea why he wasn’t in there to start the last bounce.

    Tommy Mac coughing up goals for fun tonight. Time to retire Tommy. 

    Has he been coughing up goals all year?

    When Disco came on in the last quarter things started to click. Billings should have been the sub. Laurie & Woey should still be playing for Casey. Just not good enough!

    Ladder doesn’t lie. Weren’t not frauds - we’re just not that good.

    We lost one of our best players before the season started, had multiple key players have shocking preseasons, been ravaged by injury, played the kids every game and clearly not got our fitness right.

    Another wasted year.. put in some effort when it suits us… just a typical Melbourne effort. 

  • Quote

    As my sister just said, we've had a nearly season. Lost by 5 to Lions, 1 to Carlton and 2 to GWS. Win those and we're top 2. And we've had a year blooding a bunch of youngsters on every line who are now all best 22. We're not far off.

    For the game itself, Clarry much better, really good game, Laurie's best game, 6 score involvements, 3 clearances, used the ball well, let's see it again. 

    Our hot and cold two way running from midfield was a factor though. Our mids need big pre seasons.

    Finals not totally out of sight, but it'll be tough from here with our percentage.

    JVR infringed 10 times without a single free.

    May pushed  in the back on their last goal, everyone but 4 umpires saw and knew it.

    We have not had the rub of the green with frees, injuries and other sides kicking straighter.

    He has been our saving grace this year, against Hogan in his best year ever, and you want him to retire off 1 bad game?

    Good fightback at the end, but you just can't concede four soft goals in five minutes and hope to win a tightly contested match. And Max, not surprisingly, looked cooked in the final quarter.

    A big opportunity missed, unfortunately.

    Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

    Horrid coaching

    Horrible centre bounce work by Gawn and the mids in the last qtr

    That is it, it wasn't a centre bounce as the umpires gave up and threw it up advantage GWS.

    10th on the ladder. Got smacked the week before, cold rainy night. We also haven’t played attractive footy since round 4 2022.

    First 7 minutes of the last in which we conceded 4 goals. Don’t know what was said at 3/4 time, but we sure as hell weren’t switched on.

    We score way too slowly at the business end of games, and concede far too easily when we lapse in concentration.

    Sure we can ramble on about the umpires, but what’s the point? So long as they make games contentious, AFL remains in the headlines. Too many games being influenced by umpiring decisions to be more than a coincidence, and with Dillon saying that umpiring is the best it ever has been, that ain’t changing any time soon.

    Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Big, intensive pre-season starts now for Jeffo, Fullo and Verral - and some mighty good midfield selections. Horrid result - poor team selection with limited confidence to bring the newbies into the play.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.  

    [censored] just look at the tapouts, not on  Oliver at all ... just [censored] ruckwork! GAWN WAS GARBAGE TONIGHT and Again on you Simon!!

    Totally agree. He was good today in horrid conditions at Casey.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
