The MFC Community Camp this year is at Casey on 6, 9, 11 & 13 February. Seems like we're doing it on the cheap since we train there anyway!

    Old news.....

    Doing it cheap??? Hmmm.... Would you rather the club forked out an all expenses paid trip to the bahamas for the whole squad?!?!

    C'mon..... I know it is early in the morning, but seriously :huh:

    The purpose of the community camp is to spread and reinforce the AFL message throughout various communities around the country.

    Casey is a key area for AFL - it is AFL heartland (ie high concentration of AFL supporters/head) yet is vulnerable to other codes. It is also a major growth area.

    Bearing that in mind, the AFL would support a club establishing a strong connection with the local community.

    MFC is making the connections, and the community camp reinforces that link.

    Now if they would just announce what it is they are doing next week in the community (local paper printing deadlines would be close to expiry), that link might actually get some benefit out of the camp (and there would be some good promotion of the initiative)......

    This is nothing but positive news imo, hopefully we can play the odd pre-season game there as well

    The intra-club match is at Casey Fields next Friday (13th) at 5:00pm. That is the culmination of the community camp.

    There is also a NAB Challenge match at Casey Fields ay 2:00pm on Saturday 14 March. If MFC is not in the final of the NAB Cup that night, it will likely get the NAB Challenge match scheduled for Casey Fields on that day.

    So that would be a couple of pre-season matches at Casey Fields.

    You can never be too sure with the AFL, i'm sure one of last year's Grand Finalists will be out by that stage, and it has been a long time since we played in Geelong...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
