Mmmmm, worried now that Paxy's out....... 😟

Yeah, I thought of Paxy's importance when reading about the Crow's midfield - someone who might trouble them, or at least distract them from a concentration on TH.

Still, let's look forward to saying 'Silly us!' at about 5.30 on Saturday!

I am a bit surprised they dropped Campbell. Developing as a ruckman so I would keep playing her.

She got a reprieve last week with Harris injured...as I said then I reckon playing her has been a big part of Pearce's resurgence.

Maybe it's a longer term strategy but I like what she brings & would also keep playing her.

She’s a very good prospect. Can ruck. Athletic, agile, decent mark. Very solid start to her career with us.

maybe time for a refresh?

 

Agree and aside from physically, maybe a breather to process a huge amount of learning, ready for the back end of the season.

So true and so far beyond what I was expecting even based on the growing positives last VFLW season. Will be interesting to see how we go without her as the chop out for Pearce tomorrow. But even aside from how she helps the team structurally, it's a relief just to have a legitimate future ruck prospect in the works again.

 

I'm in the air between taipei and seoul for this one.    Hopefully we win.  Last time I was in the air for a game was the gather round. 🫥😐

going out to casey for the first time in a long, long time for this one

any tips for first time players?

Don’t wear a toupee 😳


There is only the one small grandstand and it's basically reserved for officials, player's families, etc., even us long term die-hard members who attend very game at that god forsaken place don't get in. 😆

It would be news to me, but if they say so maybe give it a try.  As long as they aren't charging more than the general admission $10.

oh, i'm packing the ski jacket for sure

on a serious note @WalkingCivilWar should i pre-purchase grandstand tickets?

Tickets are all general admission. $10 each. Can’t be bought at the gate. CAN be bought using this link

Yeah the lack of seating sucks. Everything about games at Casey sucks, imo anyways. Give me Ikon any day. 

On a side topic, the doggies have declined at an alarming rate. Well beaten by Carlton last night.

From being the flagbearers and pioneers of women's footy with us and winning an early flag to being no wins from 6 this season. Looks like terrible mismanagement at the Whitten oval.

so there is literally no seating? my 73 year old mum is going to struggle

Arrived at the ground for my first game of the season! PUMPED! Let's go Demons!!

I need a comfortable win today, to (almost) erase the stresses and strains of the ‘uncomfortable’ lead-up to this game.  I think we will get it! Dees by around 4 goals.  
I’d also love for us to keep our amazing sequence of ‘best ever in AFLW history’ performances in tact.  Go Dees, you can do it!

Think of it as a picnic.  Bring your own chair and picnic rug. Walk from the car to the gate is 2 minutes max

bad miss zanker 

goldy playing well so far

colvin handballs putting her teammates in trouble. twice now 

zanker a big influence. Crows can;t handle her 

Great first quarter dees. We're so clean and fit, running two ways and outnumbering at both ends. Could have been even further in front.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
