Hmm today I have travelled to Singapore. My GD was playing under 16 basketball the game finished and I could get the result and stats 10 minutes after the game finished on an airplane. The VFL is a joke. Oh her team won.

    Tbf you can get all the VFL stats from a regular season game on the AFL website. They are obviously just not doing It for a practice match.

    It’s funny, 30-40 years ago we didn’t even know which players were drafted or traded until it was reported in a newspaper. Now we are unhappy to not get stats for a reserves practice match!

    It’s the 21st century DA! Why can’t someone from the VFL , Casey or MFC do this it’s not rocket science.

    I’m at a DA working bee right now and one of the guys was at the match yesterday. 

    He confirmed that Ricky M was incredible in the second half, didn’t stand out in the first half. He said Hendo and Jai were good and he was pleased with their performance.

    This guy is a Casey aficionado and says in general Casey was very strong and impressive. 

    Charles only played one half. Jeffo took several good marks and kicked at least two goals.

    No injuries 🥳

    Mentha was solid down back, from I was since read he continued to play well.

     

    Interesting that he played down back. Perhaps it's in response to the loss of AMW and to a lesser extent McVee.

    Thanks for the report DeeV

    Interesting dc I don’t think they have news papers any longer up here. Everyone has some sort of electronic device. Get on a train and not one newspaper or book to be seen. Everyone is watching news, movies and shows. There are from what I have seen no newspapers to be seen anywhere. None in hotel lobby or breakfast restaurant. Ideal place for the electronics world. Big population in a small area, easy and cheap to provide the internet.

    Strange…I was of the understanding that Casey have a large following in Singapore. I was told by my friend who operates a stall at the Newton Food Centre, that there’s a guy named Hung who does road maintenance around the Johor Causeway area, and who owns a transistor radio that he has permanently tuned into Casey Radio. If you ask around, you might be able to track him down and get some stats.

    Oh, and as an aside, my medication seems to be doing its job.

    Good to hear hardtack. I rang causeway construction and they said Hung is on annual leave. Believe he was visiting a rel in Melbourne.

    I got Mr. Hung’s private number off the internet. When I called there was a recorded message ‘I’m Hung, leave a message if you want your causeway maintained.’

    What's Casey in Chinese characters

    Sure! The name "Casey" in Chinese characters can be transliterated as 凯西 (Kǎi xī). The pronunciation is "Kǎi" for 凯 and "xī" for 西. Remember, this is just a phonetic representation and may not have the same meaning as the original English name.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
