Langdon - too many turnovers

Viney - take first options

May - fought the fight

Rivers - a better performance

Salem - had little influence

Turner - a solid game

Lever - loose and slow

Petracca - has signed off

Oliver - disposals were amateurish

Langford - still finding place

Chandler - another uninfluential performance

vanRooyen - better but limited

Bowey - provided customary drive

Melksham - clever and important

McVee - another loose game

Lindsay - reliable and clever

Sparrow - had no purpose

    Please don't say there is no one else by why do we play the last 4 they are not senior talents. Fritz was but a shadow now.

    Jefferson will never be ready. Struggles most weeks at Casey. Why do we keep playing Lever over Tmac?

    Two seperate issues.

    Jeffo needs to be played to give him a chance. I don't hold high hopes but he could come on with a bit of confidence.

    Lever is cooked. He needs to be played to try and get trade value for him. I great part of our premiership side but he has been found out and doesn't have enough strings up his bow. Tmac isn't the answer.

    We are talking short term if we want to wins any games for the rest of 2025 we need Tmac.

    No point talking short term. We have nothing left on 2025 besides making sure Essendon don't get a better draft pick

    I have to admit, May's positioning is still first class. If only he still had his 2021 level fitness.

    If he mellows out after retirement I reckon he'd make an outstanding defensive coach.

    Lever is 'cooked'? [censored]. (Can we put a moratorium on that stupid expression?) Played pretty well today. Had injury interruptions,and he' old. He'd be snapped up immediately by another team.

    Couldn't agree more. I've been thinking about him as a coach for a while. I love it he's so passionate.

    Get ur facts right old dee, dominated at Casey , yet finding transition tough at elite level. Needs another pre season then and only then at this same stage in 2026 will judgements be made!

    Was about to say he is not 100%. Ankle surgery in April and 8 weeks off then rushed back in after 1 VFL game.

    Melksham - five years younger

    Kozzie - no one like

    Lever - why play injured?

    McVee - night and day

    Sparrow - no real role

    Kolten - was he playing?

    Goodwin - sound bite pressors.

    He is too slow to chase and he can't play one on one with an opponent.

    He was a weapon whe he used to play loose and take intercept marks but nobody lets him do that anymore.

    He's not a great kick like May, Bowey or Mcphee. How often do you seem him kick out from full back? Never. How often does it get kicked out to him? Never. There is a reason for that

  • Quote

    He is currently very banged up. I'm hoping the speed is not permanent. Would never trade Lever in a million years.

    Heart and soul and leadership. Potential for coaching.

    Your track record regarding the readiness of Jeffo has not been great.

    Thanks all the same Picket but I think I’ll pass on this latest forecast.

    Correct, I thought at the time it looked too early. Tmac was playing well at the time.

    I think dominated is a bit high pf. He had a few good games. In his 3rd year he shows nothing at senior level.

    There was DEFINITELY no evidence of him EVER ‘dominating’ at Casey

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
