    Isn’t Casey Fields the toughest road trip, we’ve won the last 12?  Adelaide beat Freo at Fremantle oval last week and we won there in Round 8 last year but this game is at Optus Stadium, home of a recent and famous drought-breaking Demons triumph.  If we have any designs on winning tonight we will need to be a lot tougher than we were against Adelaide at Norwood Oval recently.  Meggs will be glued to the tv tonight and has high hopes for a supreme effort, loves the ins and reckons we can win.

    We have the side to beat Freo but like any trip to Perth the travel legs syndrome begins to appear.

    How was Gillard omitted? 

    Thought she was excellent last week.

    Young body not up to repeat efforts, didn't fit team structures, or just not able to commit as not full time athletes.

    Tayla Harris has made such a difference this year. Such a strong mark

    That's the most polished half of football that I've ever seen from our AFLW team.  Keep it up girls!

    Played some decent footy in that half. However Freo are badly affected with covid nonsense which is helping us. I am really impressed with Purcells and Wests game. Daisy has been fantastic.

    Maybe Pert was on to something. Daise should definitely go around again

    How good is Optus Stadium

    My opinion of it has gone up a little since 2018 that's for sure.

    Tayla Harris is a terrific focal point, such a strong overhead mark. And a clever kick too. That was a ripper in the 2nd qtr to Daisy for a goal.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
