Agree LH Rosman good size, long kick can take a mark, just injury prone and couldn’t get a good run at it.!!

I am looking forward to - Fitter, more sustained pressure Tougher, be the hunters, take no prisoners Smarter, kick long when it’s on, lower the eyes or kick sideways to open space and no more loopy handballs which ar 50/50 at best. Blood the youngsters. We blooded Sparrow, JJ, LJ, Kozzie, Riv and Bowey over a two year period and won a Granny we need to be more daring and don’t carry injured players.

Agree thought Chandler was top 5 for us.!!

Watched the game from home was very impressed with the Sharks skill level and size they came out of the blocks hard and fast, pretty decent skill levels as well. I thought we might be in a bit of trouble but loved the way our Casey boys worked their way back into the game White and Munro were enormous, Dunstan, Chandler, Bedford, Baker and Weid played huge games. Thommo, Turner, Smith we’re strong in defence, Melksham, Brown, JVR and Woewodin all chipped in in the forward line. A great team effort and very deserved and satisfying win after being the best team all year, I might add very well coached as well. I might add very well supported as well and how good was it to see all senior players, coaches and Former champs in the crowd. Special thanks to KC, Werridee and all posters who are able to attend games and keep us informed, particularly from the Casey side re players, etc.❤️💙✅💕

Or on the Melbournefc web site???

One of the things that came out of the reflections was the reason we are pursuing Grundy so hard, we knew Max was carrying an injury but didn’t realise how serious the injury was and our ruck stock cupboard was bare, LJ was off the boil and halfway out the door. We sure put a lot of our eggs in the LJ basket, so JT and our recruitment team will be working overtime to try and rectify this lack of talls. Good luck boys.

Lauzzie we need more good coaches, we already have a number of A Graders.!!

When they interviewed TMac last week at Casey he said that he got his boot stop caught in someone’s bootlace? It must have been worse than he thought.😪😢

As much as we love Clayton he receives very little support from the umpiring brethren, a couple of free kicks would stamp it out, so even though he maybe the most deserving recipient, sadly I am not at all confident that he can win the Umpires Award.

Thank you DD for all your hard work, those stats really reinforce what we have all been trying to come to grips with but quite clearly the stats spell it out for all to see and yes Petty, May, Harmes, Clarry, Langdon, Hibbo and ANB came to the party. It also shows that a number of our best players were well down on form And we still only lost by 13 points. Just shows how important it is to play your Best Fit players but also shows get the boys back to full health and fitness and we can be right in it in 2023.

Thanks Max Gawn our Goliath, the weight of expectation from coaches, supporters and the playing group drove us to second on the ladder but there wasn’t a lot left in the tank and we failed by cumulative 35 points from reaching a Prelim. Glad that Max is hurting like the rest of us. Now is the time to reflect get the body and mind right, refresh the list and game plan then plan for a big pre-season to get us back to 2021 fitness and mindset so that we hit the ground running in 2023.!!!!

Hibbo and Melksham can offer a lot for our younger brigade and could play a lot of footy at Casey. I am thinking that JVR, Howes, Chandler, Bedford, Bowey, Woewodin and whoever we bring in via trade and draft will have a big say in wether they get the chance to play many games. We really need to blood all of the above.!!

Let’s hope that Mark is elevated next year to Goody’s senior team he has earned his stripes and I love the way his team plays selfless footy.

How cool for our Casey boys and our youngsters to play in the finals and Granny it will stand them in good stead for those that get the opportunity to represent the Dees in the future, TMac also sounded pretty chuffed to be playing in another Granny. Good luck and enjoy your big day boys. Go Casey Demons.❤️💙👍💕

Disappointed but hey we have been dudded before and will be again but it hurts a bit more this time he is possibly a generational player and he was brilliant for those 17 magical minutes in the Granny last year. To be honest I can’t remember him ever saying jeez I love this club and can see a future here. So he is probably honest as well. I hope that we can find a VG forward to salvage something from the LJ wreck. I will always hold him in genuine regard but not whilst wearing enemy colours. Good luck LJ.😭😭

Demon Dynasty looking forward to your Stats on the Brissy game so we can compare our finals experience with our H&A stats..

Clayton Oliver is going to re: Write the MFC Record Books he is “fair dinkum unbelievable” what a gun and he is all ours%❤️💙👌👍💕

I agree WERRIDEE we have the KPD positions well covered and like the idea of Petty/Smith as swing men provides a lot of flexibility we can also use TMac the other way or direct swap with Petty. Even if we get Grundy we still need another ruck/ forward and another forward to support TMac, JVR, Fritsch and BB. One that likes a bit of body on body with strong hands with a bit of mongrel as well. Plus another big bodied mid with a bit of pace to keep everyone sharp, we may already posses that player but not sure. I am really hopeful that Bedford, Chandler, JVR, Bowey, Laurie, Howes and Woewodin get a run in 2023 must keep refreshing the list.

Yes a missed opportunity that has left us all saddened and frustrated But we were in every game and during those last two games everyone at the game knew that we had to make every post a winner. Yet still we all knew that we were lacking that big gun forward who could take a mark and kick those critical goals. You could feel the desperation of the crowd knowing that we were frittering away our opportunities and letting easy goals dribble through at the other end because we never had anyone back in the deep 50. Angry yes, frustrated yes but despondent No. As mentioned above there is not much that needs fixing, some new faces a modified game plan and a couple of good forwards running around in our forward 50 will be the difference and we already have two running around at Casey. Looking forward to 2023.!!!!!!

Thanks LH I feel that Hunty has earnt a new contract, not his fault that we wet the bed.!!

Agree strongly thbt I go to the footy with my family because I love watching live footy, it is pretty special and emotional once you get to the pointy end and although I was disappointed and saddened by our finals losses, I absolutely loved the build up and music chosen to get our hearts pumping, fire works, a packed house and the Demon army doing their stuff to rev us and the players up. We loved the experience and couldn’t have absorbed much more, just hated the ending.🤘😀👌👍✅💕

A pretty dominant outing against the number 4 AFL listed team, good to see Mitch Robinson getting plenty thrown back at him. Another great team effort by Casey.!!!

Hit the nail on the head Dingo that is what we are lacking a tough mobile CHF with good hands and can kick straight, cost us two finals in a row.

I don’t know how we will get them but badly need a tall key forward/ruck and strong mobile forward to support JVR and Fritsch going forward. Cost us a final last night.

6 - Tracc - hampered but tough and skilled, goal kicking has fallen away 5 - Harmes - provided the link option and one of few who can mark one on one 4 - Petty - saved us time and time again what an asset he is 3 - Langdon - tried his heart out but disposal a bit off tonight 2 - Clayton - Umpires enemy got no protection is a tough champion 1 - ANB for a good 1st half - needs to back himself more After half time we couldn’t buy a mark or kick a clean goal, they were slotting them from 50, perfect playing conditions in front of 62,000 mainly MFC and couldn’t get it done. Vey sad second half at the G last night.
