Goals to Cross, JvR and Laurie

Classic start - a point to Verrall.

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.

Culley mark but kicks a behind, Casey's third in a row.

Fritta marks and goals.

Getting outclassed 55 - 20.

Only temporarily as UWS goal.

Nice goal to Sestan and Casey getting back into the game.

That was Baldi kicking a goal btw

Thanks for all the baldies

A nightmare start for Casey conceding the first five goals to the Giants (and there's not much of a wind advantage by the way). QT Casey Demons 1.1.7 trail UWS Giants 6.1.37 Goal Johnson Disposals Bonner 7 Billings Sestan 6

Goal to UWS 7 - 37

Judd McVee doing well but the players dropped from the ones aren’t doing anything to press their cause.

Aidan Johnson with the first!
