    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...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
