Werribee poses a definite threat to the Casey Demons’ top four aspirations. Last week, the VFL Tigers stormed home to become the first team to beat Gold Coast and they did it at the Avalon Airport Oval where the game will be played.

Dees premiership hero Kye Declase no doubt set for a big game 

I'm confused. I'm pretty certain he didn't play in the Melbourne or Casey premiership team.

No but he played in the intraclub during the week off (I believe) and that’s good enough for me.

I’m out in Werribee @binman - very frustrating as it was probably the one Casey game this year that would have been convenient for us in the west to get to!

Yep - we played the dogs at home, so no Whitten Oval game.

And we play Willy at home, so no game there either (which i'm spewing about - beautiful ground to watch footy at and a 15 min drive door to gate for me)

We're in West Footscray, was also hoping for some Casey fixtures out West. 

Will have to settle for catching a Coates Talent League game at Willy later this season.

I'd venture out for a Whitten Oval game, been a long, long time.

I get that we want big, experienced bodies for Jefferson (and Sestan) to learn from, but it can't be good for Jefferson's development that he is effectively playing fourth tall forward (or shunted to the backline) at present. How much game time is he actually getting in the key forward posts?

Same goes for Woewodin, Howes and Laurie being forced on to the wings and flanks, instead of playing quality midfield time.

Jefferson regularly plays 2nd key forward, with BBB number one and Smith and Melksham working up the ground. He’s developing nicely but it lets us protect his body which is not JVR’s and needs to build to be capable of footy with men.
Woewodin and Laurie play plenty of midfield time and Howes is being trained as a HBF, a role he shows a lot of promise in because of his marking. They’re all developing nicely, if anything we need Munro back in the middle to add another rotation, not less mids.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
