    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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
