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...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
