I think it's obvious that we will make at least 2 changes. Hopefully that is it. I like the roos method of as few a changes as possible. Some of the comments on here about toumpas today in my opinion

Is this a football comment or a gossip piece in the Women' Weekly about Megan Gale?

I just finished watching the replay. They played better than I expected after reading the thread. Umpiring was ok in the first half but a string of soft decisions at the start of the third really cost

ANB gets another run in the 2's.

Makes sense I guess.

As he said in his interview on MFC - last week he did 50% game time and this week he will aim to do 80%. Next week he could play Seniors.

Pretty sure there are limits on AFL listed players in the VFL, makes sense to play the guys coming back from injury (ANB) or physically not ready (OMac) in the twos

Still not bad we will have 39 players from the squad in action this weekend, and guys being given time to return from injury properly and develop properly

especially if they've missed a chunk of pre season

or coming back early from injury, ease them back in

KC might correct me but I don't thin there are. Not for the regular season anyway.

But as you said ANB is coming back from injury, Oscar is competing with Panozza (the captain) and Hutchins (ex Gold Coast) for a tall defender spot and is lightly framed, King is behind Gawn, Spencer and Pedersen for a ruck/forward spot and will get his chance as the season goes on if he stays in good 2's form and White is obviously not far off the seniors and has a few decent guys ahead of them.

I don't want those 4 stuck there all year but I'm sure they'll get a chance. It's certainly good culture building stuff for the Casey guys to know selection is on merit.

The Dogs have a strong team in, but will take at least 5 out for their AFL bench plus emergency.

Will be interesting to see if they've dropped Minson. Wouldn't surprise me.

I hope they have. The more quality opposition Gawn and Spencer get to play against the better.

Does anyone know if they let dogs into the Oval (no pun intended)!

Not sure but am i right in thinking it is now an open park?

Great win by Casey in the Development League but disappointing to not see any of the four Demons listed amongst the best players!

On another note, is there any radio station broadcasting the match today?

Footscray are reigning premiers and Casey finished 2nd last, last season.

However we have been in good form and are looking like a genuine competitor.

Without knowing the sides intimately, I'd suggest 3.75 is overs in a two horse race. If we win this you won't see those odds again this year. That being said, this is our first genuine test for the season.

What are they offering for the line? Given the rain, and the low likelihood of big scores, that may be a better bet.

Casey Radio FM 97.7. You can listen on line as well. I've got it working on the Laptop at work at the moment.

Minson is playing as well should be an interesting game

    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
