    Agree us Demon fans need something to watch! (they would probably get a lot of demon fans watching)

    They have been on once this year - at least we have had the socceroos and soon the Tour de France to watch.

    You are lucky. I am in Europe and there is no AFL to watch whatsoever. I am going to even miss the women's match between the Dees and the Doggies!

    There are a few other things to do!

    I wonder what the argument of those who say you have to earn it is. Casey play good footy and top the ladder. Interesting.

    Casey would be rubbish to watch today - and you'd need a hell of a lot of cameras to cover them!

    Aren't Casey having a bye this week?

    Nah, they played, the went down... Barry kicked a bag and Hogan pulled in close to 20 marks.

    Still wasn't enough unfortunately.

    That may be Casey reserves but the seniors certainly had a bye.

    Thanks for that. Helpful. Of course, a quick look at the VFL website shows that they do indeed have a bye. I wonder how the reserves went?

    Pretty sure it has something to do with the ground at Casey. Its has not been setup for multiple cameras yet and therfore not suited for VFL coverage.

    You would think that we would still be televised as the visiting team every now and again though.

    I would have thought it was because the ABC would sort out their tv schedule at the start of the season to make sure they cover all teams as much as they can under their charter. So it wouldn't matter who was where on the ladder.

    Casey don't play on a Saturday until the 27th of July and that's at midday so won't be on the ABC then 17th August and that is it for the season so don't expect any more

    I suppose, given the above information, that the ABC schedule is decided when the fixture is announced. I've not looked at an AFL fixture at its release point, but if it has the time included wouldn't the 1:10 game every week be the televised game? Or do games change time occasionally?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
