    Good injury news for a change

    Is Stevens a reliable source?

    Was told recently by a club employee / acquaintance not to expect either Trengove or Petracca at AFL level until round 5-7 at the earliest as we wanted them to be bullet-proof before playing, but that could just be an attempt to manage expectations & lessen the hype.

    The Casey season doesn't start till April 9 so does anyone know what practice/VFL games they are talking about and where they are?

    Club employee!?? ah with a club  foot??

    5-7 WEEKS?? 

    for Trengove this would be a disaster! For Demonland followers re Petracca this might push a few " Over the Edge"

    Into the Abyss!

    Trengove's missed 2 years and more time before that. I wouldn't mind at all if we don't see him for 7 weeks or even 17 weeks if that's what it takes. Presuming he is good enough to get in the team.

    I'd be a little annoyed if Petracca gets held back that long but who knows how long he'll take. It's not easy getting a kick in the Casey forward line.

  • Quote

    lol this guy...

    A disaster... A blokes career could've been over, missed 2 years, yeah I'm sure he'd consider getting his body and fitness right for 6 weeks a "disaster."

    Fair dinkum there's some [censored] written. 

  • Quote

    Trengove will be given all the time he needs, and imo needs to show good form before he'd be pickied anyways, not a certain starter

    I think Petracca will be playing a bit sooner than him depending on form

    'Mach' as you know there is no such thing as bullet proof where footy is concerned. Once they play their first games back then it's a matter of form.

    I think you are on the money with the manage expectations bit...

    I wonder if all this good news is because we've actually exhausted the Universe's supply of bad luck over the past nine years.

    As if short matters for a journalist!

    Almost all journalists are accident chasing, fiction writing, lowlifes that occasionally stumble across and report a fact or two. Short or tall the Napoleonic tendencies are there for all to see.

    I beg to differ. I think the history of moronic, midget journalism is very voluminous...particularly AFL journalism (using "journalism" loosely).

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
