    Dees. First two of second qtr… game on. Then Giants put on 3 goals against the breeze. Too easy.

    Culley to Fritsch. Goal. Good contested mark … but why do players go off after a goal. It’s so fucjed!!!

    Fritsch, Van Rooyen 1 kick ,Jeffo spending time in defence MADNESS

    Van Rooyen , was a Buy, now a Sell.

    I think we all missed seeing him as what he really is , “lumbering” , “moving in a slow, heavy, awkward way”.

    Van Rooyen totally out of confidence just went up a week before the ball got to him

    Culley's next snap gets marked on the line. What's to come is almost inevitable.

    Lazy… Culley was poor. Two golden chances to get us closer

    Better quarter and dominated the last ten minutes but wasted too many chances.

    HT Casey Demons 4.5.29 UWS Giants 9.1.55

    Goals Baldi Fritsch Johnson Sestan

    Disposals Bonner 14 Billings Sestan 13 Baldi Culley 12

    The question is whether Casey has thefitness and ability to come back from an almost five goal deficit.

    Why are they trying to play fritta as a high half forward. He has played his best footy playing deep. If it ain’t broke dont fix it(it may be broke tho)

    Hard to know if it’s just lack of confidence or uncertainty, but the Casey decision-making across the board is just dumb. They look like a bunch of dumb footballers, but I’ll stay glass half full and go with the former assessment. Apart from that, their tackling, kicking, marking and handballing is horribly inferior. So all the things making good footy. Geez this club is living under dark grey clouds. Where-when will we see the glimmer of light?????

    Worst team to play against in the VFL when you have no confidence. Those two are starting defenders at most clubs. No need to overreact.

    Youre making out as if they are Matthew Scarlett..

    One is hasn't even played a game at AFL level at For 3 years and another just the 12 games next to his name.

    On exposure Van Rooyen has played 44 games and kicked 62 goals at AFL level. It's simple, if he was desperate for to win his spot he'd be making a statement.

    So far his statement is the 2 disposals for two whole quarters at VFL level.

    Glimmer of light sounds like a near death experience, which is not far from the truth.

    To have any chance of winning this they'll need to leave AJ in as the main ruck and change with Verral (for the chop out) off the bench or rest Verral forward if Rooh needs the odd break

    Madness. Verrall is breaking even most of the time – AJ is getting mauled by Madden who is not a pretend giant. He would beat most AFL rucks at CB, but is a bit too slow around the ground.

    It would be nice for some wingers and midfielders to keep the ball in our Forward line.

    Since his back spasms in the first minute of the practice match vs Fremantle, he hasn’t been the player he was in 2023 and 2024. I would rest him for a few weeks to find out what his problem is - I can’t see him turning things around at the moment.

    Code red. Code red. Clear. Anyone at Casey got a defibrillator handy?

    If they stopped butchering the ball. And worked out which way the wind was blowing. They might be a chance.

    Maybe it’s a tactic so that GWS will be out on their feet from over running? It’s not like our guys have used all their energy in the first half?

    • 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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
