So good to see Petty hit some form .

Some of those marks were huge.

Got great elevation and really clunked them.

    Reminds me a little of the Swans game at the G nearly exactly 3 years ago. They were coming but we kept winning 50-50 contests late and got over the line.

    A mate, a big dees fan, watched the game at home just texted me and said good thing I watched live because derm would have broken my brain if I had watch it on the box.

    They kicked themselves our of the game? 

    We were 12 points up on xscore at half time. 

    And I suspect halfway through the third the xscore would have been minimum plus 25 with Windsor's miss, kozzies miss and nibblas shocker.

    Those 3 goals get kicked 80% of the time minimum (which is how they arrive at xscore).

    Thank God we won that game because WE would have been rightly bemoaning gifting them the game.

    We dominated the first half of the third and should have got out to a match winning lead.

    I'm on my home.

    Ill watch the replay and have a laugh at breteton.

    It's embarrassing for the sport that bloke is paid to analyse it.

    Definitely could have lost it in the third, was doing my head in, would have been so frustrating to lose.

    Fantastic win. Played good consistent footy over 4 quarters. Frittas goal will send me to sleep in orgasmic waves of joy.

    Wow wee what a game. Just finished watching as I was at a Star Wars marathon today here in the west.

    Great game by the boys if we take out that terrible run of points from the 2nd qtr.  I would say it was out best game for the year. 

    Good to see Petty get his touch back, what 11 marks most contested.  As I mentioned before he needed a few more games at Casey to find that touch, but it's here now.

    Gee, the umpire need to get back to giving 50's for back chat, the amount of disputes by the Geelong players when free given against them was terrible, especially the one where is was telling the umpire he need to look.  The AFL again doesn't enforce rules properly.  I counted at least 5 instances of it on TV.  

    Bring on the blues..

    Windsors highlights of this game prove he is worthy of 7’s MVP and TV. If he doesn’t get rising star someone must be kicking 10 tomorrow. 
    Caleb is a jet and has the ability to be a serious long term player with many an all Australian jacket collected along the way. Love what he is doing now but can’t wait to see what he brings in the future

    Btw he is tougher than the Daicos guy, there I said it 😤

    Petty with a proper chf game, he can absolutely do it.

    Great games out of Langdon and Windsor 

    Plenty to like and a proper tough win 

    Petty marked everything that came near him but Roo seemed to be doing the same early. He faded and had a couple of moments he'd like back but if he can mature into the player we think he will and Petty sticks around they can be a pretty formidable duo with Fritsch, Koz, Chandler and McAdam when he debuts around them

    Does anyone have a contact at the club in the membership department?

    For the 3rd home game in a row I had to move people out of our Reserved Seats, and we sat surrounded by Geelong supporters who just wandered in. The MCG staff don’t give a [censored]. I’m over it.

    Gonna change something with the sub. Laurie just doesn't have it, he's not an impact player. 1 touch and no tackles with fresh legs is not what we need with the game on the line.

    Just 2% behind GWS who were unbackable for the flag last week.  

    Yep the talk about Melbourne after beating Richmond by 43 points, was a disgrace by the media and many posters on demonland, king. And Whiteley couldn't put us in the top five in their rankings. If either put us in the top 4 raking I will spew up

    BTW JvR held 3 marks, one grab, no chest involved, very promising, was getting really worried he had shot his confidence on taking the ball. Super competitive in the ruck too despite being undersized.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
