casey win 7.15.57 to 7.6.48

all single goalscorers for the dees - laurie, hardie, ireland, mentha, kentfield, billings, cross

billings bog for mine; that goal he kicked was incredible

the votes from my spot on the other side of town...

6: billings
5: campbell
4: laurie
3: hardie
2: woewodin
1: bonner

you can see why bonner didn't make it at afl level; he gets a heap of the ball and really doesn't use it well enough for a player who is predominantly on the outside of the contest

    I think I've officially watched the worse game of footy ever.

    You clearly didn't watch the first 89 minutes of the Subway Socceroos vs Japan last night

    Billings will go down in history as one of those classic “too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL” players.

    Laurie probably the same.

    That was never say die old fashioned football in less than ideal conditions. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A gritty win to Casey.

    Yes.

    Do we add Woe into that mix as well or too early? Such a terrible shot at goal. Showed something in the clinches in and under though. Was he asked to play that role tonight or is it just starting to click?

    Thought Laurie, Woe & Billings were the diff in that second half.

    I turned it off about the 60 minute mark.

    One of the most boring matches i'd witnessed at that (world cup qualifying) level.

    Was it Woey2.0 that was next to the filth player that got a freebie on our forward flank. A quick jab in the guts was it. They replayed it once but I had no sound

    Yes.... was a love tap pushing off his opponent. The opponent milked it big time. Should've been play on. The umps love the filth.

    It was a hard watch but even harder to look away, I thought that they would overrun us but Casey are very gritty and appear to have found their belief, even with so many outs, they never dropped their heads, what happened with Adam’s and Hore gave the Pies a bit of a run on and a bit of an edge until Billings and Cross snuffed them out. Go Casey.

    Missed the game tonight but just read this thread from the first bounce to the final siren.

    Well done posters.

    To say that you gave me a feel for the game is understating it

    Thanks to all

    Respectfully disagree.

    Billings has played 172 AFL games over 12 seasons, averaging about 14-15 games per season. Clearly he has been good enough for AFL: he is in the top 1000 all time VFL/AFL games played (over 13000 have played at least 1 game, and only ~4000 have got to 50 games).

    Has he been an AFL star or able to regularly dominate at AFL level? No. Maybe right now he fits the "too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL" descriptor, but it doesn't sum up his career.

    However right now I thinkthat is how Laurie is tracking. He'll get more chances this year and next, but I suspect ultimately he will be not be good enough to play regularly at AFL level.

    Noah was selected to play for the Oakleigh Chargers against the Sandringham Dragons in tonight’s Coates Talent League game.

    And just for the record, Noah Yze was among the best players and had 23 disposals (8 kicks, 15 handpasses), 6 tackles and 3 inside 50s and kicked a goal for Oakleigh Chargers in their 26-point win over Sandringham Dragons last night.

    I only saw the last quarter but I was pleased (?) that TMac was there. Solid , reliable, did not panic. Hope he did well the first 3 quarters

    Hopefully not. I think that Bill could be a good AFL level player if he was given a reasonable go at it

    Unfortunately, for us, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was at another club.

    Mason Cox's second goal with just minutes remaining helped seal a nine-point win for the Magpies over Casey.

    The 211cm big man, who was dropped for last week's AFL win over Hawthorn, also had nine disposals, three clearances and 22 hitouts rotating through the ruck.

    The whole article is written up as a Filth win. No mention of a Casey player anywhere. AFL is The Filth

    • 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.
