    Paxy in, yay. Aside from missing Fitzsimmons I don’t think we could get any stronger

    Agree, though I wouldn't mind Colvin getting a go at some point. Tough team to break into.

    Good call, I had forgotten about Colvin. It will be interesting to see how A. Mackin progresses too. Could be a wild card for later in the season

    Same.  I prefer Colvin to Birch

    Where do the players that miss get match practice?

    I'm really interested to see Mackin but how does she learn the game?

    • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 03 vs Western Bulldogs

    Looking to continue a great start to the season.  The team looks fit and well drilled and a strong group together, which is expected from a team that didn't lose anyone to other teams.

    Looking forward to watching the game, let's see if we can break 100 at Casey this season.

    When the ALFW round preview has you tipped as 50 point winners, something is up.

    Basically they are saying that our winning margin will be more than what six teams have even managed to score in total for the first two rounds.

    North currently have a better percentage than us because they've almost entirely prevented anyone from scoring against them, but that doesn't change the fact that we have given away the third fewest points against us while also scoring 50% more than any other team.

    I think we're in with a chance, here.

    But look who North have played, makes such a big difference for percentage.  We have a great percentage considering who we played in the first 2 rounds.

    Pretty sure that if we win this game, Melbourne gains the record for the longest AFLW winning streak, surpassing Fremantle's 11-game streak during 2020-2021.

    Melbourne's Casey win-loss record: 21-5
    WB's Casey win-loss record: 0-1
    Melbourne's win-loss record against WB: 5-2 (9-4 including pre-AFLW) Last time they met in R7 2022B, it was a 64-point win to Melbourne
    WB's 2023 formline: The Bulldogs have started the season 0-2 and are coming off a 7-point loss to Hawthorn

    After last nights torture and disappointment I am looking forward to a (hopefully) straight forward win

    I'm looking forward to watching the girls play as well. I love how they go about it. Joy to watch.

    I love Maxy and the boys as well but watching them play is draining. It's almost suffocating. 

    I think we'll win big again today. The doggies have really fallen away the last year or 2.

    Dees by 30+ points

    is there anything in life as reliable as the Casey gale. 3 goal per quarter breeze by the looks of it.

    Just arrived here to the eerie silence, as Bannan being helped off in rather a knee-like manner...

    Yes, 🫰

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
