    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?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
