Sorry DJ I should have said Preston no idea where Coburg came from. The joy of the ageing process well that is my excuse. And I know where both are.

Where is the ground in relation to the Preston R S?

 

Blowing a gale to the right of screen end. Bullants three goals unanswered.

Kicking in danger rewarded by dubious goal.

Casey absolutely asleep at the wheel concede 30 points.

Without a doubt the Bullants coach has told them at 3/4 time... forget the scoreboard... go back.to basics ... win the quarter.

Casey ...bit rocky have gone to sleep

Despite scoreboard, some very average efforts by AFL players out there .

Just my obs...

Carry on

 

Jeffo another good tackle inside 50 and he kicks 5.

Good signs.

JEFFO showing some mongrel goal!!!!!


JVR gets an unkind bounce heading to goal, sums up his form.

Jeffo gets a free kick for holding the ball and kicks numero five

Tholstrup shown any signs today ?

Hasn't done much wrong but nothing that stood out. Just the 11 touches and 5 tackles.

Umpire knocked down by Bill. Bullants getting run of frees?

Bullant buried in tackle (literally).

Cream gets one to stick.

Billings rises chest mark. Hits the post.

Stalemate

Stuff up concedes easy goal in defence.


Blow the siren

Casey defending 10 goal lead

Just…

Cream puts cherry 🍒 on top.

That fella Baldi should garner interest at mid season draft


Gee koltyn not exactly knocking down the door for a senior return. I wonder how much work jonsey does with him at training.

Van rooyen also a concern. Hopefully he gets his mojo back soon.

last half of this quarter has left a lot to be desired tbh

casey have left a 3 figure margin on the table

jvr now has 2 goals 3 as the siren goes, but i think the big callout for his game is the 13 marks, at least 5 or 6 of which have been contested

Some slack arses playing for Casey eh...

Cream puts cherry 🍒 on top.

JVR kicks lucky last after the siren.

Casey 17 goals 19 behinds

Bullants 7 goals 8 behinds

If you mean Preston Railway station it's just across the road.

Jai Culley did not appear in second half. (To my re-collection.) Managed or injury?

he is an emg for tmr

Left at 3/4 time.

Overall not a great spectacle. Too much crowded scrambly play with Casey far too powerful but rarely able to get clear.

Casey now has too many tall forwards and then you add in Verrall and TC. A complete absence of any organised crumbing from any small/medium.

In a game made for Tholstrup he didn't excel.

Sat at half forward so didn't really see the back players. Suffice to say they took lots of marks.

Casey did a lot of switching of play but it was often too slow and without real purpose.

Jefferson may well have shone but JVR is going backwards based on today's opposition. One other thing given our surplus number of talls he didn't appear to get any chance to practice his ruck craft.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.
