So apparently you can run OOB and just keep going as long as you're a doggy.  There's no boundary line

    Brilliant play from Baker to Hunt to Gray there.  Taking a shot now

    A very wet scrappy day.  You would think the Casey forwards would be playing mostly in front for the shanked kick ....hmmm

    3QT: Casey Demons 7.9.51 to Footscray VFL 6.6.42.

    The Demons have a 9 point lead at the last break but the skies have opened and it’s going to be hard to score in the final quarter.

    Goals Chandler 3 Grey Laurie Moniz-Wakefield Valentine

    Oskar Baker picking up a swag of kicks off half back. He has 23 touches.

    Where's Dunstan?  Need some leadership for the young players.

    We have a deep aversion to the corridor at all levels it would seem

    I could be wrong in my assessment but I’ve found that the “Melbourne way” is boundary line style but looking for that release kick through the corridor. Hasn’t been the way for much of the year but it’s what we seemed to do well last season. Knowing and and being able to pull the trigger is so important to generating positive forward entries.

    [censored] I hope that’s not the case tonight.

    But we are a defence first team nowadays. Going via the boundary allows us to defend it more easily. Boring but that’s our set-up atm

    When you're undefeated in a reserves competition where you are developing skills I think it's not too much to ask to see a Plan B every now and then. 

    Nice mark and goal by JVR

    We are missing Mitch White, his big body and stabilising presence would help us on this kind of day.

    Van-Royen to settle us, Goal.

    I honestly don’t think we have a plan B

    It's a development league remember. Winning is nice but not that important

    We have in the seniors though hbt. And its predictability is becoming seemingly easier to counter.

    They play the same as the seniors. With one way to play so it is understandable and followed. Tactics change but not your plan of playing. There is no plan B.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
