Big game tonight but not sure given the venue and time of year it will tell us much. Wish they could start the game at say 7:15 Would be better overall ratings IMO

Some unfortunate truth in that. I'm not adverse to rotating large numbers of the top ten players if it keeps them fresher for 2026 and aids in development and gameplan improvement/experimentation. At least the AFL can't accuse us of tanking this year

I think we've entered the "anyone but Collingwood" phase of the season

Coming up to an election next year there's simply no votes in giving us money. In a time of gov't overspends everywhere it would be a negative if anything. Timing and perception is what it's about. Had we a "shovel ready" plan at the outbreak of covid they would have thrown money at us. Not now I am surprised that in the glow of 2021 we didn't do some serious fund raising from the supporter base. It was pre the massive increase in interest rates and people were well disposed to "causes". Not much else to do during lockdown. TBH like most I'm over this saga. With the club staring down another period of mediocrity combined with internal issues on nearly every front the enjoyment factor is fast disappearing. Used to love the simplicity of a VFL match but even that has gone with the stupid scheduling. (Saturday night in winter at Whitten oval was a nadir)

Who shall we choose to shoot the arrow Max hangs left Bayley... well he was the man Kozzie... not sure if you can check side an arrow Woe Penelope

We must be somewhere near that by now or does it just seem that long?

Not to mention the Hydra

The voyage of Ulysees had less twists and turns. Hopefully Penelope recognises us when we finally reach home. But do we have a Telemachus among us?

No It was born of hope and I salute Adam for having that hope. Let's keep it open to measure those green shoots for next year.

I think we can officially close the lid for 2025

3:7 since half time

Hard team to get excited by. This goal kicking is becoming a joke

Yeah but.... Just so hard to get excited this year

That goal to behind ratio is rarely 1:1 for us. Unless we get it to 2:1 we are going nowhere

You have to wonder why we bother

Just saw that. Chandler only two as well. Given 16 inside 50's for the quarter you'd hope for more

Fritsch with 5 possessions . Not bad at all

You've go to love a good "behind" as a Demon supporter

They really need to work on their ground/studio audio mix. The GWS v Brisbane game was just weird

Would be ironic if he played for the Suns against Casey !

we do have a bye but the next game is against the Suns on the Gold Coast. I assume from your post he won't be available.

It's a "Burra Burger" not a "Barra Burger" Their attraction is their size and composition. Think Burger with the lot. Need to be hot which can be a challenge as they are cooked in advance

Not to put a dampener on the Casey performance but Essendon have been hard hit by injuries and that was most likely an understrength VFL side. The Dons presently sit 17th with three wins for the season. Our next scheduled match is against another cellar dweller (the Suns) on the Gold Coast. Suns presently 18th. You can only beat the team you're playing against but we're not destroying anyone

We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained. Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground. The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look. Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

Was tracking well last year but seemed to have plateaued in the first half of this season. Hard to get a good run with so many NQR talls at Casey. Second half of 2025 could be big for hi
