There is no official market yet for this week’s game between Casey Demons and UWS Giants - at this stage the time venue have yet to be announced and the odds of the game taking place are not very good.

Bad news for the players lining up for promotion to the AFL.

    The following teams have a bye

    Aspley, Box Hill Hawks, Gold Coast Suns, Port Melbourne, Werribee, Williamstown

    A game against Port or Willy would be nice

    We do not play Port all year and are scheduled to play Willy in the second last round.

    MFC/Casey needs to make it happen.

    One game in 6 weeks is not good enough

    Frankston are slated to play the Swans. Perhaps the fixture could be flipped so that we play the Dolphins. Both Giants & Swans have 8 games played. We've just completed 6.

    How can the MFC/Casey make it happen, they could request it but there is a big chance it would just fall on deaf ears. The revamped VFL is just a complete joke.

    The VFL comp is hopelessly compromised from a ladder perspective. Just make it Vic only for the rest of the season and let's move on

    In the grand scheme of things, it would now seem to have been a very bizarre year to create this wider competition.

    I have been saving this for nearly 9 months now. Who ever thought it was a good idea to start an interstate competition in the year of Covid certainly does belong it the rocket scientist club.

    Would you please stop with sane ideas DJ. Talk like that will never get you a job at AFL!

    Who or what are the UWS Giants? More specifically, does the name mean it's a merger between the University of Western Sydney and the GWS Giants? Or is UWS a sponsor of the Giants' seconds team? If the latter, have we ever had a name like that before (ie, a "insert sponsor's name" Magpies, or equivalent)?

    I hope you are correct Jack, because this these fixtures are not only compromising Casey, but also the Melbourne Demons.

    Would surprise me if all the Giants VFL players were here in the bubble. They have jobs outside football.

    Perhaps they will be allowed top up players

    One of the Casey boys, George Grey played as a top up player for the GWS reserves side last weekend.

    Who is on top of the ladder via vfl flashscore Bulldogs 1st followed by Southport, Casey then Box Hill . SCOREPRO 1st Bulldogs followed BH Hawks, Southport then Casey . 2021 Vfl mens Casey 1st Casey fpllowed by Bulldogs, Southport then Willamstown.

    At end end of the year being 2-3 games down is that going to cost us top spot? (assuming we are undefeated). Perhaps at the end of the season the VFL staff are waiting for another covid lockdown. The reserves comp. is a joke. Casey didn't need a bye last week , they could have played another team with a bye. Perhaps that doesn't make sense to the Vfl. Senior teams need to  give there listed players a run and the players need run to prove they are worthy of senior selection sometime soon.

    The lights are fine. Night games have been played at Casey Fields for at least ten years.

    I hope some Demonlanders can make it down to report on the game (I’m working).

    This team may well have beaten our senior team in the Neeld years. (I'm not sure whether that says more about this team or the past).

    I wonder how serious Mitch Brown's injury from last week is.

    He’s not on the official injured list so it can’t be too serious … could it?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
