Casey's backline is dominating,Joel Macdonald, Nicholson and Jetta have probably Casey's bes but all the Dees have done well so far. Casey is moving the ball very well and are putting good pressure on North Ballarat.

Ah, Sensaaational! it's great to hear Jetta's stepping Up to the plate!

Is he starting in the Centre Square, Melon?

Made the trip out to the rat, fair hike but it's a good game if you're a dees fan. Social club isn't too bad either free scones at half time!

All the Melbourne players doing well, I'll highlight Warnock who's been particularly solid and Strauss has got the possession up, had 25 or so at 3 quarter time. Jetta got the wind knocked out of him but flashing in and out, Blease has also had more of the ball but his only trick seems to be running through the lines and kicking it long. Joel Mac has been a little quiet.....

good game though Casey up by 57 at 3 q time

I think Jetta's stepping up a gear.

Blease, I think will take at least half a season, from what I've seen, to 'Grow' his game. thats just for him to make alterations. I don't expect much from him this Year, except maybe just a teaser for him, toward the end of the year.

This is why I'd like to see Strauss in the Dee team, sooner rather than Later. On the wing. Blooding youngsters.

Big win to the Scorpions who kept last year's premiers down to just eight goals on their own ground.

The last quarter was a dour affair with only one goal kicked in blustery conditions but Casey ran out easy winners by 56 points and it could have been a greater margin had the forwards found their targets late in the game.

Ricky Petterd with four goals and Matty Bate with three were good up forward and local boys Dan Nicholson and Lucas Cook were among the best in a great homecoming for the youngsters. Sam Blease played his best game yet for Casey.

Final score:

Casey: 16.16 - 112

North Ballarat: 8.8 - 56

Wasteful last term, much? 7 behinds, to 1.1...

Good win, though - last years champs now 0-2...

Petterd 4, Bate 3, Lindsay 2, Stockdale, Jetta, Lawrence, Nicholson, EVans, Cook and McShane the goalkickers.

Best news all week right there, especially Nicholson, Blease and Cook. New boys starting to step up.

Watts and Dunn will need to be solid tomorrow with Bate and Petterd, not to mention Newton, breathing down their necks.

Interesting times. Thanks for the info.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
