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.

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.

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

any tips for first time players?

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. 🫥😐

oh, i'm packing the ski jacket for sure

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

Edited October 6, 20231 yr by whatwhat say what

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. 😆

ticketmaster sais i can pre-purchase for it tho?

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.

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

Getting sound but no video from the AFL site

PS Got the video finally

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.
