    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: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
