    hard to tell on the stream, but it really looked like a lot of the casey players were running in quicksand that quarter

    i am fearful of a sluggish 'loading' game in mfc's immediate future

    Well the system certainly broke down that quarter.

    Handball chains that couldn't break free or went backwards allowing ample time for Swans to go forward.

    Kicks via the boundary line with up and under kicks into the forward line

    Swans are flooding back which is making it particularly difficult to achieve any rebound plus Swans are entering on our countless turnovers which makes defending a nightmare

    Havent been able to watch the first half so cheers for the info everyone.

    From an opposition perspective it's interesting to see Florent in the reserves. He seemed a solid 22 lock prior to this season and contracted until 2029 I believe.

    Jesse Dattoli looked super impressive in his draft year as a half-forward with stints on ball. Strong competative player for his size and excellent overhead game. I see he's amongst the goals. Northern Knights boy so maybe one to keep on the radar if he gets home sick.

    The umpire whistles coming through the effects mic from the surrounding grounds is bloody annoying.

    I'm not watching it, but can anyone tell me, are we trying to play the same style as the AFL team? Surely...

    Sme whistle is annoying. I thought it sounded like the audio of the umps whistle was coming through earlier than the video and the commentators coming later than both. If so, quite an achievement.

    I dunno if he has the ‘smarts’ around the footy to play the role

    He reads the play well and impacts aerially from a spoil / intercept perspective

    He seems to operate in straight lines as opposed to making intelligent decisions in the moment, particularly when it comes to with ball in hand

    Yes we are but at VFL level the packs are often more crowded making it harder to break lines. Some of the players eg Tholstrup might be better trying to break a line and then handball rather than handballing at first instance.

    Also we kick laterally instead of at 45 degrees allowing opposition to flood back.

    All that aside it's promising

    Jai Culley’s most impressive performance thus far in red and blue.

    Ollie Florentino looks a class above and has the AFL physique to go with it. Cunningham is another regular who is returning after a long injury lay-off. Dattoli looks every bit a quality first rounder will rebound to first no doubt.

    Agree it's an audio issue with the ground set up.

    Nice to know that there's a mark before a player kicks the ball

    jvr very strong to get the separation and then double lead for the mark i50 but his kicking is letting him down quite a bit - actually true of the whole of the casey side; their disposal really letting them down

    el jefe seems to be one of those forwards who has a knack for earning a free kick i50 - he now has 3 goals 1

    billings is absolutely racking it up, playing that classic gut-running wing role and getting a heap of ball running the lines

    So many missed marks and unforced errors. A lot of lazy football. TMac having a mare. Kolton has pretty ordinary skills. Jeff’o and Roo the main positives

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
