Bring in the Killer to play on the same ground as Nicnat...

Oh. And no resting Jamar. All Watts will need to do is rack up half a dozen kicks. :D

Does anyone know what time?

2PM at Casey

Current forecast is sunny and 25 degrees.

And what are the odds of this actually happening ;) !!!

 

I was kind of hoping to get a team like Geelong or Collingwood, but I think we're a good chance to notch a win next week, as West Coast are yet to leave WA this pre-season.

We should aim to play our best (and fittest) 22 in this match as preparation for Round 1.

Disappointing we have to play another interstate side that's 3 from 4 a bit rough i reckon.

Plan to get along to Casey, I had a really great time at the intra club. Hope there's a big attendence and we end

the pre season on a positive note with a win and gain some confidence. I reckon we might see our virtual Round 1 team

have a hit out.


Why is that a bit rough?? There's no gate receipts in pre-season, what's the difference?? If anything this is good. WC aren't usually as strong in Melb, perhaps some chance for a win.

This should be a really good game. WC are in a fairly similar place to us with their list, perhaps a year or two ahead. I expect our season to more or less mirror theirs in '09. It will be great to see how we handle them, especially given that they have a pretty strong (physically) midfield, so our young guys might well struggle. We also match up pretty well on their forwards, although I'm still worried about our small backs, and LeCras is just the guy to show them up.

I always get a bad feeling when the folks on Demonland start to get cocky.

we will destroy them and go into the real stuff with a bit of confidence!

Crumbs... first practice match of our local footy comp will get in the way of going to Casey. I've really enjoyed the trips out in the sticks to watch footy at Casey.

I always get a bad feeling when the folks on Demonland start to get cocky.

Me too. IMHO when we click together as a team we'll be competitive against most teams this year, but no point in getting ahead of ourselves on the basis of one praccy match. Just like there was no point in calling the undertakers after the NAB vs Freo. And still a bit of a concern that we had plenty of chances to win it in the last but couldn't put it away. But it's great to see the improvement.

Yep, Yes, Yeah Man. Critical Dude, critical we all get there, cheer on the boys & be positive towards the young players & the clubs rebirth.

Oh by the way, the weather still sounds fine, man.

Lets get there & dig it & bring your non member mates.

 

Does anyone have directions/information on getting to the ground from Cranbourne station? Is there a bus that takes you to or near the ground?

There is a bus "TrainLink" which meets every train at the Cranbourne Station and travels to Cranbourne East. The bus drops you at the new aquatic complex, and there is then an easy 700 meter walk to Casey Fields.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. I know where the aquatic centre is in relation to the ground so that info really helps.

  • 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 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.
