The Giants are still in the running for a wild card finals berth while the Demons have nothing to play for just two years after winning a premiership.

They meet on Saturday at the ungodly hour of 11:35am.

Why so early?

    I don’t mind the 2’s kicking the dew off the grass before the main event.  Bad news is that if Dees hold over multiple emergencies Casey will be short handed again….

    Both are out for the season with long term injuries which is disappointing for the club as it was hoping that these two would represent the man body of experienced VFL players along with Mitch White. They were basically the replacements for the likes of Jimmy Munro and Matt Buntine and these players are important at AFL aligned clubs for the steadiness and consistency they bring.

    Thanks @KC from Casey agree Hustwaite and Connolly were excellent recruits and showed great form in the first 3 games.  Their absence cannot be underestimated given our lack of depth and player turnover.  
     

    It appears Ben Brown is unofficially retired.  He had struggled to play two games back to back all year.  In his 5 games (6 goals) , we could see how immobile he’d become and his knees simply are rendering him unable to bend.  Such a shame to see him finish like this.  Given we have Jefferson & Kentfield to develop, it’s probably best that he announce his retirement.

    I like how we have recently shifted Schache to CHB to assist the development of Jeffo and Kentfield forward. I actually thought he looked decent down there last week in tough conditions.

    Looking forward to a festival of football. Noah Yze and Roy George named on the bench. Pickett reporting on the other side of the fence. But whether the weather will wind, wuther and wrain?

    Answer my own question; It’s overcast , very dull and mercifully dry. Wind appears to be a factor leaves boughs and branches moving in the background. Roy George mark but no chocolates.

    Jefferson surprisingly good at ground level. Impressive.  Pity the delivery to him is below par. Be nice to see him show off his marking prowess.

    10 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    casey is simply not shutting down the space and the uw$ are running into a lot of space

    sparrow's lack of defensive running shows a real lack of effort

    since i wrote this he's had an extra 6 disposals and 4 clearances, plus a monster tackle that helped set up verrall's goal just now

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
