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: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
