I’m most interested to see if Maysie is actually playing… seems the medical staff haven’t advised him yet that he’s been put in ice for the season?

 

Laurie for Sparrow only change

Go dees.

 

Thank goodness they didn't bring may back for a pointless game. Get him ready for a huge 2025.

Would had preferred to see woey or k Brown in, instead of Laurie.

Not sure what options they had to cover a mid?


I reckon there'll be 45K at the game

Is Taj under contract next year?

Spaz usually plays a defensive mid role.  They probably figure Laurie is about as close to that as we'll get as he's a bit of a tackling machine at Casey level at times.

Whether that translates to a similar role / outcome at senior level we'll have to wait and see i guess.

MAYSIE LIED TO ME!

He told me he’d be playing tomorrow 

😭😭😭

A win against that filthy mob will be a delight of the highest order!  
The icing on a very rich cake, would be Tracc in the circle as we belt the Grand Old Flag for the last time in ‘24, and announce ourselves for ‘25.    
Bring it on Dees!

Oh look its the coriander brothers!

 

Or whatever that nonsense was that was being discussed round here lately 😀

Nonsense? NONSENSE??? I’ll have you know they were dead serious about the coriander deal. They couldn’t have been more serious had it been a multimillion dollar property deal. Oh, they were hella serious. Chin even showed Tracc how big his Coriander bush is now by opening his arms high and wide and exclaiming “No sch!tt, it’s bigger than me!” Tracc gulped.

Yeah, yeah deal of the century blah blah.

Coriander is the cantaloupe of the herb world. Not bad but honeydew is the money melon.

And this is why I should know better than to believe anything the senior players say. I’ll stick with the young ones, they readily answer a question and it’s always an honest answer and then they throw in their life story for good measure 😅

I was thinking more about not playing Jefferson and getting some surgery done early.

The pies for instance are managing mcstay.


If we're going to gift a game to Laurie, we may as well have given Ben Brown a farewell match.

They'd have much the same impact running through the midfield

Nar Old Kent Road, and Whitechapel more likely

Yeah well Jeffo named as emergency on a nothing game last week. Just goes to show that not only is he is close but RATED! AND if a tall calls in crook, he's first cab of the rank!

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
