And there's a VFL bye this weekend

Pre covid I always had a second team to cushion the blow of MFC failure. Now I can't be bothered. For 2025 it's Melbourne Storm and Oscar Piastri for me. I suspect I'm not alone

Season is effectively over so what can we salvage. Not really sure but we need to play a second ruck and another small forward. Spargo needs to find form at Casey JVR can have a Casey break in favour of Jefferson but I think Jeffo needs a couple of weeks at Casey first. Play Lever and May selectively with a view to seeing a strong 2026. Most importantly work on the gameplan plus how to counter the strengths of other teams. Following Oscar P in the F1 is the one saving grace of 2025 because it won't be MFC

Massive queues reported at the MCG due to enhanced security checks. Pictures of lines snaking 200 metres into the parklands If you're going to change the system you can't exactly do it overnight. Went to the world cup in Russia where security was tight. Incredibly well organised but added 45 minutes to the entry process

Thought I might be a bit harsh thinking we would end the season around 12th How wrong I was

Goalless in this quarter when it really counts

Nah

Business as usual. That's just about season over unfortunately

Need to put some scoreboard pressure on if we are to be a chance Scrap that......

Need a quick two goals

Another quarter like that and we may as well not bother with the second half 27% DE inside 50 says it all

Good game but looking like no chocolates. Casey far more competitive this year than last

Geelong taking the crucial marks. Casey's run breaking down

how did he miss !!!

Lovely big kick from Billings ends up with a good running goal by K brown

Strong play at centre bounces by Casey

Bad finish by Woey to a good passage of play

Hat trick for the Big Tom

Lovely play by Culley

Trying to play the quick game and not quite connecting. That play interrupted by the siren was lovely. Could be the ground but we are playing closer to the boundary than we do at Casey. Laurie getting amongst it but needs to show some more skills. Woey needs to do more. Is K Brown playing?

Casey doing most of the attacking but Cats now ahead due to sloppy play

Nice tackle by Laurie leads to a turnover and a nice mark and goal by Verral

Clearly ran into Houston's arm. Carlton player should be reported for rough play

Unfortunately Woey gives me vibes of young Stretch. Laurie is probably a little better than JKH but in a similar mould. Brown might make it on a HBF

Not only that we had to pay a fortune and offer long term contracts to keep key players. I always wondered what happened to the famous premiership discount when it came MFC's turn. Mind you Grundy was good recruiting even if we couldn't make it work
