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 trust that ground management will act in true solidarity with the MFC and ban all Mexican food, wraps and other products from the Mission Foods range.

    Otherwise they could have a revolt on their hands!

    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?

    Now that there is a win under the belt, albeit against Brisbane in Cairns. I'm just hoping for no injuries this weekend. :unsure:

    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.

    I just noticed that Whispering_Jack on Demonology had already coined the phrase tortilla cup

    oops, no theft intended

    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 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!

    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".

    Too right NJ

    It will be a belter especially if we roll them

    There are a chance of Thunderstorms on the Saturday morning, so that may keep a few people away, at least we know we can win in such conditions!

    I'll be there for sure. Its handy for Gipplanders!! hope they have a few more games out here. Its going to be a bit like suburban games from bygone eras. Should be great

    What's the go I thought there would be a bit more media for this game. Has there been anything in the Cranbourne newspapers?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
