No Casey boys here, except for Sesto and Hendo who are both confident they’ll be playing in week one of the finals

I wanted to ask Hendo about his groin and hoped it didn’t sound suss. His reply was “it’s all over the place at the moment.”

So yeah, he won in the sounds suss stakes 🤭

    AMW is also here. He’s stretching and his recovery is coming along great guns.

    His killer smile is on show today. It could stop world wars.

    Everyone is buoyed by the Casey win. The seniors are so glowing in their praise for the Casey boys, super proud of them and it’s genuine.

    They do love their soccer!

    All 23 who played on Saturday present other than McVee and Viney. TMac with the group so that seems to confirm that the half-time substitution was "tactical".

    Henderson and Sestan both present as Ghosty reported. And AMW who is getting himself set for a big pre-season.

    Jake Lever was running, and moving quite freely. Xavier Lindsay also present and working with the physio. Although only listed as one week in last week's injury report, I would be surprised if they rushed Xavier to play on Friday night.

    No Windsor, McAdam or Hore.

    None of the AFL listed Casey boys present today, given they played yesterday.

    @bluey was miffed that Kozzie gave his jumper to Luke Breust. Firstly, Koz said he did it because he admires and respects Breust very much.

    Secondly, it’s Kozzie’s jumper to do with as he so desires.

    The players all have three home jumpers which are rotated throughout the season. At the end of the season one jumper is given to the player’s sponsor, one is auctioned and the third is the player’s to keep. Koz chose to give his to Breust.

    More Uniform Fun Facts…

    With every other jumper (away, clash, ANZAC etc.) the players have two jumpers in rotation. At season’s end one is auctioned and the player keeps the other.

    The one person is responsible for the laundering of all jumpers, shorts, socks, training tops, the lot. He’s Jake the property manager and this is only one of his many tasks. He uses the laundry at AAMI which is a shared laundry.

    This isn’t about the Club saving money, it’s about the Club worrying if they hired a laundry service there’s a chance some articles will go missing (not stolen, but lost).

    And the burning question (for me anyways): why does Kozzie wear such big shorts? In particular, huge away (white) shorts. That’s because he prefers them that way. He also has his jumpers custom-fitted. Again, his choice.

    Maysie is one-eyed. I mean, literally. His left eye is so swollen he can’t open it. It looks awful and when I told him it looks awful he said, “Yep. Chol got me… again.” ☹️

    Thanks Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters, great to hear that Seston and Henderson will be available for Finals, and I bet Chol doesn’t get cited for the hit on Maysie. I wonder what it is with the big shorts, in the early 70’s our shorts were pretty short and tight. lol.!!!

    So an early injury report reveals that Xavier won't be available for Friday night (and therefore done for the season, and Hendo (groin) and Jeffo (big toe) sound like they will be unavailable for Casey finals - but both are TBCs. Oli Sestan however is ready to go.....

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
