This match has huge competitive interest for me

We have the Dees on a mission to show some short sighted, ill informed folks of USA/Mexican origin that mission hitched their crusty tortilla wagon to the wrong horse, or mongrel dog, as it is in this case

We also have the former 324 game bulldogs star midfielder and seven times club best and fairest winner who, after being ingloriously sacked at seasons end last year by the very club he devoted his entire career to, is now our midfield coach and is certainly looking forward to working with what is a young and developing playing list

The Demons will also be looking to strut their stuff in front of a home crowd at their summer training base and home of their soon to be announced, and very much anticipated, VFL alignment team

Mark my words, there will be plenty to prove this week out at Casey Fields

Definitely a game not to be missed and a win is not mission impossible by any stretch of the imagination, no matter what those corn flour totin' folks from the good 'ol US of A think about our team and its prospects

Prediction; the Demons will wrap the doggies up tighter than a burrito full of refried beans

See you there for the Tortilla Cup!!!

Good post. You have whipped up my enthusiasm for a practice match.

I'm going to head down there to check the game out.

Haven't been to a practice match in years. What's the go with entry? Can I get in with my AFL Members pass?

The Casey Scorpions have secured another NAB Challenge match at 2pm on Saturday 14 March 2009.

They've also requested the AFL to schedule MFC as one of the partcipating teams if it is not playing in the NAB Cup Grand Final that night.

Are Taco's on the menue? Don't mind a little Mexican Tartillo. ;)

In the circumstances we don't want to be too kind or friendly to the Bulldogs or their sponsor. How about calling it the Dodgy Tortilla Cup?

It shouldn't be mentioned at all when we don't have a sponsor especially a turd of a product like that. It's appropriate that they are the Dogs sponsor cause that is exactly what it is dog food. Our sponsor will be by far a more awesome product than that rubbish.

Tortilla Cup....

Dodgy Tortilla Cup.....

In the end it makes no difference.

Hang on a minute.........mmmm...refried beanz......you know what that meanz?

That's right..........."He who farts last farts loudest" or something like that.

Seriously, a win this week will make Rodney 'The king of the flood' Eade look like a goose given his comments about his team in the media this week.

I'll be there the bugle along with a Grand Old Flag.

Go Dees - Gassing up for the season ahead.

Dodgy Tortilla Cup.....

Dodgy is good. The latest AFL membership figures show that we're ahead of the Bulldogs in membership numbers despite the fact that the AFL has pronounced them healthy.

Come on Demon fans - especially those in the Casey area. Join up on Saturday in big numbers and show those dodgy tortilla salesmen that they made a dodgy decision when they shafted us:-

West Coast Eagles 47,728 (44,863)

Hawthorn 40,926 (41,366)

Collingwood 34,038 (42,498)

Essendon 33,970 (41,947)

Carlton 30,821 (39,360)

Geelong 27,400 (36,850)

Richmond 27,171 (30,820)

St. Kilda 23,597 (30,063)

Port Adelaide 23,537 (34,185)

Melbourne 21,986 (29,619)

Brisbane 20,805 (22,737)

North Melbourne 20,020 (32,600)

Western Bulldogs 19,157 (28,306)

Adelaide n.a (48,720)

Fremantle n.a (43,366)

Sydney n.a (26,721)

Official final 2008 numbers in brackets

No surprise - it was the same last year, despite the vastly different on-field fortunes of the two sides.

Can't wait for this game.

I'll be making the trip to Casey Fields with My Father and my (almost) two year old son for the day. Should be a great day.

Looking forward to a great game, and a win at the end of course!

I'm hoping that there will be a good turn out and that there will be alot of focus on the kids and recruitment of members. I have to get one for the newborn too!

Add that to the telly guys!

i dont mean to sound like a dumbass but whats with the tortilla cup??

Dazzle, This is in reference to the Mission Foods sponsorship.

They are a distributor of foods, namely so Mexican foods. Hence the name, "Tortilla Cup".

I'll second that Banter. Much easier!

I'm hoping that the MFC's growth in the Casey Corridor will also extend down our way also. I would have never gone to a pre-season match otherwise, but now that the action is closer, I'm more than happy to make the trip.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
