I’ll try hard to convince her to grab it, if it’s there!

she’ll be a bit shy to do that but hopefully her big sister can encourage her to!

❤️💙

Awww she’ll be fine. Tell big sis to bring her to see me in the front row, don’t say a word @Neil Crompton!!!

The playing group clearly divided.

Well Nicko, Neil thinks I’m deranged (to be fair, I kinda am) but when it comes to non-adults, I’m totally harmless and even quite stable. 🙃

You know what @WalkingCivilWar … with all the commentary on DL over the last few weeks, all that matters to me is that my daughters have a great time with you and everyone else in the cheer squad tomorrow … a win would be a massive bonus ❤️💙

With the selection of only Bowey,  to replace Oliver. And no other additions to booster the forwards or ruck.

Can I suggest that Goodness will either be a saviour and genius.  Or . A pariah who has no idea.   
 

depending on whether we win  or loose by a lot.

i will be watching whatever. Good luck Nibbler.

Your daughters will have a great time, win or lose. And I hope they like Haribo gummy bears and Pascall jubes because 6 and a half kilos of my 7kg carry-on comprises lollies. They’ll still be pinging off the walls on Sunday night 😂

Perhaps  Praps not.  Will be am interesting side light to the way the game goes and is played.  Only adding Bowey almost says everything is fine in our garden and we cannot get much better.

personally I think there have been a couple of games where we were anything but  as good as we can be,  

Think AnB will have a couple of standout games,

Bowey doesn't replace Oliver. But he does move into the backline and allow both Judd and Rivers midfield time.

    Very surprised it's just the one change. Bowey for Oliver.

    If true, there must be no niggles what-so-ever. No one with the exception of Oliver to be heading into surgery post season for any correction procedures. A clean bill of health for this Sundays starting 23 I take it! 

    No Brown, No Jefferson, No Fullarton, No Sestan, No Kentfield - no games for any of these players in a dead rubber game that could provide the player valuable experience before a full on pre-season where they could be motivated to get back to seniors in 2025 having had a taste. Hmmm. 

    I'm not into "gifting" players games either, but I'd prefer the option to play one or 2 with 2 dead rubber games remaining. 

    You answered your own rhetorical question.

    None of those players have been picked because none of them have demanded selection at Casey, and we're not going to gift them games for the sake of it.

    One sure fire way to damage your playing group culture is to play players who don't deserve it.

    Flat as a tack tonight. 

    If we are going to go down tomorrow, I would appreciate seeing us going down with a great deal of physicality and fight. 

    And just to top it off, JJ getting interviewed tonight after Sydney pelted the Bombers, has forced me to drink.

    Not entirely... If we lose to GC and the Saints win they could jump us on the ladder and we could potentially land Pick 5 in the Draft! So we absolutely need to keep playing average football. 

    Careful Tom Morris lurks here, will use this post as ‘reports’ of tanking discussions overheard within the four walls of MFC’ FD offices.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
