    Bad luck to all those who came out to Casey today and went away disappointed.

    I wonder if those who make it when they're really training would mind giving us a training report please?

    For once you are half right- Cam Schwab rang me this evening to apologise. He accepts the club is fully to blame. They should have cancelled the training at Casey today and failed to do so- reason- they had to go to MCG- re induction .Also ran the tan. I explained in no certain terms my frustration and certainly the pathetic conduct in not putting this info on the MFC website- He concured-accepted this was twice in a row. I also suggested he looked at this website and in particular this thread to see and read our disappointment. He sounded very frustrated. Jennifer Watts also emailed me with her apology.I reiterate- it is not just today, or last week- this has been happening for years- as stakeholders we should be shown more respect.He heard me.Lets move on and have a Merry Xmas and an amazing NEW YEAR- GO DEES

    always pays to ring the club !! :rolleyes:

    You're missing the point. The fact is you shouldn't have to......

    Are you suggesting that the club expand its phone systems to include a "Website Acciracy Confirmation Line" ?

    Hoopla, What is a acciracy-a typo? Did you mean accuracy? I understand if that's what you meant.

    And Belzebub59, I'd be thinking a bit more before making suggestions like your last ones.

    How the hell do you ring the club before 9am ?????

    People are trying to tell you, that they have either rung or checked the website re training times on FRIDAY, Saturday,Sunday and even before training this morning and still the club can't advise its own followers and members correctly.

    Does the management think this is good for gaining more members and promoting the future?

    Come on Melbourne, you can be better than that. Admit you are wrong and then fix the problem straightaway.

    Schwabby , over to you if you are up for it!

    We have to get better and listen to what people have to say.

    It is just not good enough - the website is pathetic.

    I was [censored] off a couple of years ago but I only went from Moorabbin to TBO Sandringham which is nothing - was just inconvenient making a few work changes, but this is just awful.

    Lets hope they really do take this on board, and not just the typical administrative (not just MFC) response.

    Unrealistic expectations.

    I'm not glad that people turned up to see training and were disappointed, but I am glad the club is obviously focusing on what they need to do to get the boys fit & fresh for the 2010 season.

    Even if that means spontaneously switching training to a different venue and/or format to keep the guys fresh mentally.

    Sometimes things like this can't be avoided. If its a continual problem then that is worrying, but at the same time, more the fool you for turning up if this has happened to you before.

    Don't think I could ever condone knocking those who bother to attend training, especially at Casey.

    Club has been sloppy. Ceo and Marketing /Communications Manager have apologized. Hopefully the club will now correct the situation. Move on, we are headed for some good times.

    You're right; I just thought I read in one of the posts this had happened to someone before.

    Can't find it now.

    But I'd expect you'd learn from the first mistake.

    No the expectations are not unrealistic. .....

    Monday's arrangements are not changed at 8.55 am Monday morning - unless of course the players are expected to do a Ú turn in Cranbourne Rd and speed back to the city in 5 minutes! Someone in the football department should simply add the telephonist and the communications department onto their contact lists.

    If the club cannot develop systems to keep this information accurate - it should withdraw it from the website - and explain why it does not believe that members ( much less supporters) should have access to it

    You can't knock the FD part of the club for any spontaneous switch of training schedule or format to get the best out of the players. What can be avoided, if possible, is the communication between FD and media manager/website IT guru's for any updates or cancellations of dates of training down at Casey. It doesn't hurt to inform, surely.

    You know what really is a shame?

    If I need any news or information about events, training etc... My first port of call would be to PM some of the regulars here, BEFORE I even look at the club website.

    Something very wrong there.

    Well said Redleg.

    I hope the Club gets it right going forward.

    I'm not sure that's the point of all this...

    Why is it that 98% of your posts it seems, are in reply to Hoopla ?

    It's ridiculous.

    • 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?

    • 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.
