Casey Fields - Melbourne v West Coast

This will be a real measuring stick for us for the future couple of years!

Heres one to win.

Thoughts?

Is that our game next week? Thanks mate.

We should definitely win this, hopefully I can make it down there

Someone bring a camcorder!

Thoughts?

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

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.

Purely spectacle/atmosphere reasons.

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

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.

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

Agree.

They're already talking about a win over Hawthorn in round 1.

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.

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.

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.
