NAB Challenge and Casey Announcement????

Featured Replies

Posted

Our next game in the NAB challenge will be in Cairns – assume against the Lions. Probably Friday night.

Final game will be at Casey on Saturday fortnight (afternoon) – opposition TBA. Expect an announcement that day on the signing of a 30 year commitment to the region.

 

I see the ????s in the heading, so I guess that's just a hope and a punt.

Let's hope you're right!!

We need to play as many pre season games at Casey as possible, it would be great if we could play there in the first round on the 2010 Nab cup

 

What we need is to market the game to the locals as much as possible, maybe even create a carnival sort of an atmosphere with jumping castles and other features that will bring the kiddies in. Provide membership packaeges at a one time discount to entice them in. I would even consider a door knock of the local area, by demon volunteers.

It is the single greatest event this year that will expose Melbourne to natives, investment now will pay dividends for 30 years.

I've spent a little time at the cranbourne shopping centre, and if the folk there are anything to go by, well lets just say I wouldn't be volunteering for this

But these are the folks that love their footy the most. Though I tend to agree.

Yeah, the rest of the idea is great though, make it a big event to get a heap of people/families down there

i lived in cranbourne for a long time, our volunteers will have no problems going on a door knock, though i wouldnt recommend it 10yrs ago. :lol:

well whats your other reasons.

fair to say its boganville down there, its not our demographic but we need to stay there and change the yokals

i think the yokals will change the club, not the club changing the locals, for far to long the clubs had the toffs mentality, thats why its never appealed to the rest of victoria, theres alot of yokals who follow the pies and look were they are today, theres about 12primary and high schools and nearly 20 kindergardens in cranbourne, they might not be the private school that you went to but theres alot of kids to reach out to in this town, the club needs to start running footy clinics all thru this town,and who knows in the decade they mite have alot more youth wearing demons jumpers.

Though I have to admit I do agree with that, that's exactly the demographic and group Stynes and the current board are attempting to reach out to. Partially the reasoning behind Casey.

:lol: .....I've seen 'street talk' too.

Street Talk.......I reckon that even if you went to Toorak and set up a camera between the pub and the TAB (I assume T'rak has both, but I don't know its characteristics) you'd get derros to interview.

Standard OP for Street Talk is to target the location in any shopping centre where the derros and drop kicks pass through.

Mind you, it's very entertaining all the same.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
