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?

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

Not our game but this has got to be a first.

It did just say Snake so it might have been Gil from headquarters.

Let's go girls!!!

[Deeoldfart 8,201]

Please girls, improve my weekend!

[BDA 23,048]

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

[BDA 23,048]

Tyla Hanks. never wastes a possession.

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

Yes, 🫰

Scoring pattern: deja vu all over again...😉

[BDA 23,048]

the wind is spoiling this game as usual. I really don't like Casey Fields.

However...😄
