Rainy Sunday night in Stoke as I get on the tram for the first time this season. See you there 

 

May was last seen at Entrecôte with Milkshake.

Seemed fine when he went in…

Unconfirmed rumour from a mate that Steven May is out. No other info. Take with a grain of salt at the moment. 

Well done

I really hope people are coming in or they're at the bars because this is a dull crowd

The crowd will be tiny. ~15K

Imagine if we don’t clear 16K which is the number we got massively criticised for in last year’s game V GWS.

“May sustained a knock to the throat during training at Casey Fields on Friday, and scans have since confirmed a fractured larynx.

General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson said the club would take a cautious approach with May’s recovery.

“At this stage, our medical team does not believe the injury is as significant as what Max Gawn sustained earlier in the year,” Richardson said.

“We will assess Steven further next week, which will give us a clearer picture of the recovery timeline.”

Bleak looking crowd

fair few inside in the bars, still halv an hour out

We all know how hard it is to win a game at the Cats' home ground, GMHBA Stadium. Before yesterday, Freo had beaten the Cats there twice—by3 points in 2022 and by7 in 2023. Clearly, the Cats didn’t want to lose to Freo at home again. I believe they made special preparations for the game, aiming to put much more pressure on Freo. And it worked.

One key indicator was the number of tackles they made—58 by halftime and 89 by the end. Freo wasn’t ready for that level of pressure.

Unfortunately, we lost Gus and Nibbla, and I really missed them. Gus was one of our major tacklers (along with Viney), and Nibbla was strong in that area too. A good tackle can directly or indirectly cause a turnover; some players excel at it, while others don’t. I hope we can develop a couple of new players into top tacklers in the near future.

Go Dees, Go newbies!

When I saw the AFL headline - “star out for Demons” or words to that effect, I panicked. I was oddly relieved it was May - while it’s obviously not great, the difference between him and the next best available (TMac) is much narrower than the gap between next best if it had been Trac/Clarry/Max.

I’m going in to the match with an open mind and no expectations. Over a quarter of the team playing together for the first time is unprecedented I reckon. A complete annihilation is a possibility, but we have a strong enough nucleus, and the imports have enough maturity, that a strong performance is also possible. Looking forward to it!

Just hitting 28 degrees at 9am up in Sydney, and it is another of those days where the sun pierces your bones.

The in-laws arrive in about 30 minutes.

Oh, please, holy Demon powers, transport me to a chilly, sodden and windy MCG for an afternoon.

It's the humidity here in Wollongong that makes things tough.

Spent a few days in Brisbane once in the middle of January and experienced real humidity.

 But Nsw seems to be emulating Brisbane lately.

Not to worry. It will be winter and grey in Melbourne soon so there's that 😀.

But I will say that nothing beats a Melbourne Autumn.

Especially one sitting on the member's wing in the sunshine watching a Dees player go streaming past on his way to score another major.

Who doesn't love footy. It's a game beyond compare.

Also slightly less impactful given that Jessie isn't playing as well.

Yea thanks Top cat.

I spent seven months in Arnem land on the edge of monsoons.

But at only 10 one doesn't notice the weather. Too busy collecting wildlife and flushing the frogs back down the toilet where they came from

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
