Spectacular!

Now I can picture a time when I can go all-out and watch four Demon games in a single weekend.

    Unless they're all scheduled in the Sunday twilight slot.

    They’re so lucky. I would have dreamed about playing for Melbourne when I was young. I was always told it would never happen. I couldn’t even play for a team because there weren’t any girls leagues where I lived and mixing just didn’t happen back then. So, I was sent to gymnastics and swimming (later diving) while I watched in envy as my brothers got to play, while I had to stick to ‘girls’ sports. Not as if I would have been any good, but I would have loved to give it a go and have fun. I can’t help but envy girls who are able to play in leagues with their brothers. Now they can fulfil their dream of playing for their team, something that was impossible in my day.

    The Casey Demons have won their first VFLW game!

    Williamstown 5.7.37

    Casey 8.1.49

    Looks like we finally brought our kicking boots.

    Goalkickers: Kaila Bentvelzen 3, Brooke Struylaart  2, Marlee Tatham 1, plus a couple to everyone's favourite, 'Unknown'.

    As a VFLW sidenote - the main takeaway I've had from the little I've caught of Darebin, L. Pearce is dominating.

    Just watched Casey’s game on the VFLW live stream. It’s my first time watching them this year and I’m pleased to report that I was fairly impressed with our effort.

    Unfortunately, we went down to the Bulldogs in a tight one, 28-31.

    They tried their absolute guts out though. Tackling pressure was excellent. At times we dominated possession and really locked it in forward 50 but couldn’t put it on the scoreboard (sound familiar?). Bulldogs were down a couple of players in the last quarter, including Ellie Blackburn, and we came at them hard but couldn’t finish it off in the dying minutes.

    A bit on our AFLW-listed players:

    Smith was in everything, had some classy touches and kicked a great goal.

    Cordner took a couple of strong marks in the last quarter (after recovering from an epic face smother)

    Newman was unsighted for a lot of the game but kicked a beauty in the last.

    Zanker showed so much potential including great forward pressure. Has a beautiful long kick, nearly getting one from 45. Almost won the game with a flying shot on goal in the last quarter but missed. When she starts getting more shots on goal, look out.

    Shevlin (who was delisted from our AFLW list) had some good involvement. Wouldn't be surprised if we rookied her.

    I never got a handle on what number Jakobsson had so possibly was mistaking her for someone else the entire game… the distant camera work doesn't help!

    There were a bunch of ex-Dees playing for the Bulldogs (Berry, Jolly, Mifsud) who all contributed for them, Jolly the most.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
