    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”.

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
