We’re calling this match “The Daisy Cup.” Still love Daisy and hoping one day she’ll come home to us…

But in the meantime, we’ll smash her eagles to pieces on Sunday 😁

PS the usual snags in bread will be on offer in the Demon Army tent. As always, I’m the till b!ttchh or as normal people say, the cashier. The DA OGs tell me I’m on the till coz I’m very good at it but I know it’s really because folks don’t like their snags burnt beyond recognition so the grill is a no-go zone 😅

It would be great to see lots of fans rock up. The usual activations and activities for kids and giveaways will be available. And most importantly you’ll get to see our powerhouse team in action 👊🏼

PLEASE come if you can!

Forgot to beg folks to come to the game

Great news. Gilliard and Goldy selected to play

Johnson and Rigoni make way.

Rigoni showed enough to more than justify her list spot. hopefully she can push on and nail down a spot in the first team

Ahhh, these are the only games that matter to me now 🥰 Unfortunately, will still be stuck in Sydney, cheering at the TV screen

A special 🤛✋✌ for her with Paxy, then!😊

❤️💙 GAMEDAY! ❤️💙

A win today should see us jump above the Hawks and back up to second on the ladder. We don’t want too big a gap between us and North. The welcome return of Goldie and Tahls will bolster the side. Look out, Daisy… your eagles will be plucked!

The mighty Dees by a nuggety little Eliza Mac (22 pts) 🥳

Last begging attempt…

PLEASE, if you can, please come out to Casey Fields today to watch the mighty Dees take down the eagles.

Bring the kidlets, there’s plenty for them to do there (besides watching a formidable team playing some great footy). If you don’t have any kids, borrow someone else’s (be sure to get permission first otherwise it’s called kidnapping). Get ‘em off their devices for the day! Fresh air and fun is there for the taking.

Not sure if I’ve ever mentioned it before (😁) but the Demon Army cook the most delish snags and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

COME AND SUPPORT OUR DEES!!!

Libby Birch on special comms. i thought she was persona non grata around Casey

the usual nice gentle breeze blowing today at Casey

Good start Eden!

forward connection much much better so far

great hard ball win heath and handball to team mate

Hore is such a gun.

smart goal kate hore. crafty play

The weather making life hard for the Casey Tourism Board.

Need about 130 more points to catch Norths percentage here

zanker having a day out

I think Kavanagh for West Coast just got the clearance the wrong way, leading to Zankers 4th?

this is an excellent performance by the way. eagles are no slouches

we are much more direct today. getting the ball forward much quicker. should have played like this against Port last week.

Eden can do no wrong. Love it.

5 goals to Zanker half way through the second.

She's got her sticky mits on.
