    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, 🫰

    • 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?

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
