GAWN AND VINEY CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN TO CASEY... JUST TERRIBLE

Yea it's not a good look with zero.marks for both.

Is Sparrow injured

2 touches...he must be. What happened?

As ugly as we are, we are still in it.

Some more intensity than last week.

Hell let's be honest. There was none at all last week. Full stop.

Jeez what a frustrating watch, but honestly a big improvement this week. Shame about some shocking umpiring. You can tell confidence is low, hopefully a bit of momentum will stay our way next half! Still definitely in this 💪

    Having Yze and McQualter leave one after the other can't have helped.

    This just comes down to who wants it more.

    Can most of team lift and drive themselves to our first win

    T-Mac's been VG down back.

    The injection of Turner up forward at least makes us look a tad more dangerous and offers another mobile marking option until JVR finally hits some lead up / marking form.

    Turner's mobility at ground level also brings a tad more pressure at ground level inside 50.

    Fritta's done ok as a link up HHF but still nowhere near it around goals in that first half.

    Tracc is driving this team hard you can see it both with effort and letting everyone know where they need to be at.

    Max also lifted in that quarter and even more so after the questionable free against him in our 50.

    Clarry, while not as his best is willing himself to so many contests and bringing alot of the little pressure acts to force turnover and/or get the ball moving forward / to our advantage where poss.

    If some of the lessor lights in the team and a severly out-of-form Viney can lift in this second half we might get close but wouldn't put any $$ on it.

    Not even Max can get the better of Old Father Time.

    He desperately needs the back-up ruck we haven't got.

    We have one TC who did pretty well in the preseason - but Goody too stubborn to play him.

    Been an issue from round one.

    Pass the hat and get some tape measures.

    It’s completely deliberate though. They’ve clearly been directed to call play on and they treat us like complete mugs.

    Get Fkkn angry Dees!

    call me crazy but I was just entertaining buying a last minute ticket and going to the game to witness a big upset. Yes, tickets are still $75!

    Play Fritsch out of the Goalsquare Goodwin FFS….

    Absolutely!


    I thought the floodgates were about to burst open, but credit to the boys for fighting back and squaring the quarter.

    Jack Henry out of the game with a hammy. He was causing us some problems early doors.

    Petty looks pretty hopeless, like he just doesn't care, why is he getting games?

    Henderson good, Milkshake, Chandler, Fritsch looking decent too is nice for a change.

    Less dropped marks but still some real easy ones, Gawn terrible dropped marks, JVR too but still we are looking better at least and still just in the game.

    Langford looks great and Trac and Viney too. Love Henderson getting kudos from Lyon, he's good.

    Petty though seriously, I hate to agree with Kane Kornes but he said it spot on the radio this morning you'd be wrapped if you found out Petty was the guy playing on you during a game...we can't have that!!!

    Some of that first half was horrible but we still have a sniff but we still could get flogged.

    The first goal in the 3rd will be critical to building some belief we desperately need..

    We've had a couple of very stiff "not 15" calls against us that seemed like BS, or at least they didn't call the same for Cats. They don't make it easy for us do they.

    The most disappointing part is that despite the improved effort, it's really obvious that we're completely outclassed.

    The structure, cohesiveness and decision making is just not where it needs to be. We are scoring goals through opposition errors and quick flashes of individual desperation.

    It's the same trends from 2022 after three years of devolution

    👏Trac two goals

    👏Langford goal

    🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮umps !!!


    Have been saying for the last two years that we needed to draft a defender. Now May is clearly in decline and Petty looks [censored], while Adams is doing nothing at Casey.

     

    How do you lose the ability to tackle?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
