    Schwab is a joke...why he is putting his effort into what the jumper looks like is crazy...try increasing the bottom line champ or even better get the club out of that hell hole that is Casey Fields which was the industry joke during trade week!

    Interesting Comment! Care to elaborate?.....

    Surely previous quote wasn't that convoluted...apparently one of the first questions Ball's management asked MFC was regarding Casey scenario and MFC's future plans to develop city based training facility...word is we have invested in a white elephant (Casey alignment) from a players perspective - direct quote from a Player Manager.

    Early signs were from Brock McLean's reluctance to buy-in to Casey logistically, but now the whispers are becoming deafening that players see a training facility 1 hour plus from home ground as unworkable...

    ^ If this is true then this is precisely the problem that MFC players have on the field

    they need to harden the fcuk UP!! Travel one hour to training please

    i know people who fly in and out of melbourne every day for work and don't [censored] like little babies

    about it. Casey is the largest growth corridor in Melb to have a firm base out there

    together with the community programs at grass roots level will mean melbourne will dominate this area of the city.

    whispers are becoming deafening-that's a bit Rich.

    But if it is a major Problem I certainly hope it is the first thing addressed on monday morning when Training Resumes,

    Casey is a Summer Training Base. Where would the players prefer to Train? Paris maybe..

    those that remember the darker navy with blood red yoke will always consider it the smartest and most decisively "Melbourne" of all jumpers.

    Couldn't agree more 'bub!!

    Casey is a Summer Training Base.

    And it is only three days per week

    St Kilda are moving to Frankston for training , which can be very difficult to get to , depends where you live.

    Once the Monash Freeway is finsihed, driving their will be much easier. I think the Casey issue is more of a red herring.

    So I was down at Casey Field today, and I'm starting to realise why MFC have associated themseles with them. We all know that the last couple of years, and the next couple, are about a new start for the whole club, and the area really is just being built. A billboard in the paddock next door says "Building From The Ground Up" and thats what their doing. They've got these awesome sports facilities there, and their building a community around it. Heaps of housing is going up, and I was talking to a member of the council there today (it was a community kid's fishing day) and their really working hard on improving community by using recreation and sports. MFC could have a massive say in this with a few players involved here and there. Thats why its a good move for us. Working with a community starting from the ground up.

    I think during the season it is only once a week also. Plus we get to train at some very good facilities. Players who are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars are having a sook about driving around 45 mins. to and from training??? Where's my violin, quick!

    I think Casey was a good move but I'm surprised we're training there in-season.

    Summer? Sure.

    If luke ball wants to play for the most exciting young team in the competition then we will welcome him with open arms, if he doesnt then it is problem, and if any of our players have a problem like brock did then they f off too. i dont give too shits what paul connors and the rest of the player managers think, if player is whinging about a 45 minute car trip then they are prima donnas

    Liking the sharper V, liking the redder red but not into the navy being closer to black. Should be more blue if anything.

    I think by darkening it they need to ensure it's less of a purple and more of a navy blue. At the moment, in the light, the blue looks more like a dark purple.

    I agree!

    Wouldn't it make sense if the players actually started moving into the Casey area? That way they wouldn't need to drive as far.

    If you LOVE Footy and you LOVE the Demons then you would drive ANYWHERE!

    I understand the argument for the collar. But it would make the players a lot easier to tackle in certain circumstances. Won't happen.

    given that Ball manager Connors is only all too familiar with what we are doing..what was he attempting to do...ask questions of himself ?? Totally illogical

    Id invest in an albino elephant..... be worth a bloody fortune !! :lol:

    if that players manager was a certain Liam Pickering id take it with more than a decent dose of scepticism <_<

    I've had chats to Paul Connors at Casey Fields watching the TAC carnival. He manages Watts and Blease, amongst others. He's quite aware of Casey and its attributes.

    However, he may well have asked about training possibilities around Gosch's paddock.

    • 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.
