There’s a fair bit of young talent in the Casey side today. Turner, van Rooyen, Wowoedin, Bowey, Laurie and Howes returning.

    After a week of sunny days I wake to rain. Looks like my visit to the Scray is off. Laptop will be the back up viewing. Pity as I was looking forward to going to the game. IMO there is no substitute for going to the footy.

    Also, very close to train station.

    Don't forget folks, it's West Footscray station, not Footscray.

    I clearly remember the jubilation at the station and on the train after we won that game in 1987 to make the finals!

    Even Middle Footscray is really close if you're heading to the Vic for a pint first. Before they moved West Footscray station a few years back on a six carriage train when the back carriage left one the front carriage arrived in the other.

    32 degrees,humid as hell and bright sunshine here in equatorial Asia.

    Kayo have blocked my VPN so I look forward to my occasional VFL fix on the dodgy stream. I have 500Mbs up and down so it isn't my end methinks.

    Not sure how much of the old Western Oval remains. It was always a bit of a concrete jungle. Wonder if they serve any notable culinary delights a la Port Melbourne with the Burra burger and the king sized dim sims.

    Enjoy your day OD

    I just drove past Whitten Oval and it looks as though we won't face much opposition today.

    The game has started with conditions greasy under cloudy threatening skies. The Demons have made a few changes as a result of the withdrawal of Ben Brown and his replacement  with Sam Weideman. Toby Bedford and Adam Tomlinson have been held back for tonight’s game. for our Demons today – Riley Baldi, Bryce Milford and Aidan Quigley are the replacements.

    Both teams are struggling to open the scoring with the Bulldogs favoured by the breeze.

    A good day for Ducks OD.... and i dont mean Disco 'Duck' Turner.

    Also annoying that you can no longer livestream to chromecast (via TV) like previous seasons.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
