Classic start - a point to Verrall.

3QT Casey Demons 5.8.38 to UWS Giants 17.3.105 Goals Baldi Fritsch Johnson Laurie Sestan Disposals Bonner 33 Billings 20 McVee 19

Statistically, this is typical Demons football a la 2024-5. More possessions, more marks, lousy disposal, conversion rate 38% vs 81% etc. and down by 43 points. Free kicks 17 to 10 favours Giants if anyone is interested. Bonner racking up possessions.

Short lived as Giants reply.

Goal to Bailey Laurie but Casey still trail badly 38 - 69.

Ten minutes in and Giants lead 69 - 32.

Goal to Lauchie Keefe who kicked the winner against us in Round 1. Ultimate insult.

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.

Culley's next snap gets marked on the line. What's to come is almost inevitable.
