    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
