    Foot-ez-cray end would be a free goal kick.

    At the G now … just looking at the game. Last 3 minutes. Saw Dogs ruck 19yo Lachie Smith outpoint out body Verrall in three ruck contests. Verrall either no ruck IQ or not strong enough ?

    Anyone put their hands up for a senior berth? Answer? Probably not in my view

    I’d like to see Kentfield perhaps given a chance soon. He’s at least got a big body and can take a mark. Good start and I think we need to see him in the forward half next 1-2 games.

    Laurie is too good for VFL but lacks the hard body or pace for AFL. Good depth player at best. Not sure he stays on the list ?

    Kynan Brown. I think he’s a player. He’s a good tackler (10 today) big heart , but just lacked composure with the footy.

    Adams - looked too slow and would be exposed at next level

    Sestan - good with the footy but cannot see him as a HBF in AFL, just looked too slow.

    Culley- unfortunately didn’t show me anything today. Missed targets, too laconic and loose. VFL level

    Johnson - big body and rips in but again costly missed chances and turns like the titanic. VFL level player

    Henderson, VFL is his level only. I am not thinking he’s going to be an AFL player unfortunately. Actually handballs to put others under more pressure!!

    Fullarton got three goals as clearly taller than dogs defenders but physically gets pushed aside too easily (lost battle with the smaller Coffield). Definitely delist at end of 25

    Will Verrall - I was disappointed today as he was too easily pushed aside by 19yo dogs VFL second ruck.

    Tom Campbell . Yes he’s ok at VFL but is too slow to compete at next level. Got the tap but we lost stoppages as very little went to advantage. Could not see him assisting Gawn or playing AFL

    Dees best were Bryce, Cross, Laurie, Campbell and Hardie. Disappointing loss after being 26 points up at 22 minute mark of the 3rd quarter. Then 8 gosls in a row to the dogs as Casey capitulated.

    TESTAMENT by KC from Casey

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong?

    Everything.

    The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break.

    Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind.

    Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    Casey’s VFL contingent served the team well with Riley Baldi (25 touches), Mitch Hardie (24), Riley Bonner (20) and, Lachlan Bryce (19) were all prominent while the team was in the ascendancy and Cross contributed three of the team’s nine goals for the day.

    The rucks of Tom Campbell and his understudy Will Verrall were dominant for most of the game winning 41 and 14 hitouts respectively, the former finishing up with 21 possessions and  10 clearances. Verrall also had 12 disposals.

    Casey’s best was Bailey Laurie who had 27 disposals to go with his six clearances while Kynan Brown’s performance also pressed his claim for an AFL return with his 25 possessions, seven clearances and ten tackles.

    Forwards Tom Fullarton and Aidan Johnson contributed three and two goals respectively. Johnson’s former Werribee teammate Jack Henderson was effective with 23 disposals and Oliver Sestan continued to show his improvement, as did defenders Jed Adams and Luker Kentfield while Jai Culley also had his moments.

    The Demons return to Casey Fields next Saturday where they take on 2024 grand finalists, the Southport Sharks in what should be another tough battle.

    These comments are odd. Adams is quick & he had more disposals & marks than Kentfield. And Sestan is in a good patch of form & hasn't looked slow to me.

    • 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.

      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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
