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. 🫥😐

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. 😆

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.

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!

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

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
