He seems one sided - looking to use his left side but without the time

It's a confidence thing. Should be dropped for a few to Casey to sort it out.

    The amount of blokes we apparently need to give a spell at casey would mean some demonlanders would have to step in and fill the numbers for the senior side.

    That'd be fine with me. Then we can sit behind a screen and criticise them for dropping a mark or missing a target.

    If we were to somehow get up, beating the top side and being 3-2 and in the 8, oh boy would there be a buzz around us.

    yeah, and not one of swarming blow flies for a change.

    Crowd predictions?

    I'm calling 29,000. You'll get 5000-6000 Freo fans here for the match. Super nice weather and dare I say we could hit 33-35k.

    The Mayweather v Pacquiao fight could knock a few thousand of that.

    To Hogan...

    Lyon is not stupid enough to fall for 2 decoys that can't take a contested mark between them.

    Might not be so bad, get Jesse up the ground, leave Howe on his own in the forward 50

    Spot on. 3-5 thousand down due to the fight. I am as diehard supporter as you get, however this fight is the biggest sporting event of the year, and arguably the biggest fight of all time. I will be watching the fight.

    Maybe but I would rather see Hogan presenting at the ball front and square and seeing how he matches it with McPharlin.

    We won't score if Dawes is our prime target.

    Bigger than Ali-Foreman? Hell, I'll have to watch it. Too bad, Dees, you'll have to win without me.

    I wouldn't have thought so. The hype says yes but the reality is boxing is a shadow of the sport it once was and I for one don't have an once of interest in it anymore.

    I would say it's without doubt the biggest hyped fight of all time. I would also say the amount of money being paid out for tickets and the like is obscene.

    wowee, a fight being billed as the biggest fight of all time..........whod've thunk that?.......even bigger than a mundine fight!

    Both Cooney and Lake were quite flippant in tipping the Dockers on the Footy Show. I don't think other clubs are taking us seriously yet.

    I don't expect us to win but I give us at least a small chance. If the Dockers are 10% off their game and/or kick inaccurately then it's game on.

    Pretty much

    We will need to be catching them on an off day

    Such as the day they had against the saints which was 9 home and away matches ago

    I love it how people seriously think we are a chance. The mood on here is up and about only to be crushed come Sunday afternoon.

    If we get within 6 goals of Freo we have done well. I predict a 9 goal loss.

    A pox on your negativity! we will win and win well.

    You haven't heard of the "Thrilla in Manila" or the "Rumble in the Jungle" ?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
