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?

I think its Bus - 896 to the Casey community sports complex,,,,,then walk 500 metres down the road to the Casey Fields sports grounds... See the light towers & walk towards them.

Things are really conspiring against me seeing the team this pre-season.

First my knee, which means public transport and long standing periods are a definite no, and then the massive storms in Melbourne which damaged my car, so I can't drive to Casey :(

Will be relying on updates from the good members of Demonland!

Grimes not playing?

Bate + Wonna both playing, yay! Also Davey, Green and Bruce back in as expected.

Otherwise, no surprises except for Hughes... but I guess he had to get a game at some point.

West Coast seem almost full-strength save for the Big Q and D Glass i think.

Should be a good game, looking forward to making the road trip.

Good to see some big returns, both teams will be fielding the strongest 24 available. Bate, Bruce, Davey, Aussie, Sylvia, Moloney all back shame Grimes is missing I hope it is just resting him for a long season ahead him and Joel Mac are the only fit player that will play round 1 that seems to be missing.

The 6 big ins would almost be the top 6 from our B&F last year.

So to summarise the changes from the side which actually played against Adelaide...

In: Bate, Sylvia, Moloney, Bruce, Wonaeamirri, Davey, Hughes, Bennell

Out: Bartram, Grimes, Bell, Jurrah, Macdonald, Rivers

The only known injuries of the outs are Jurrah and Bell (both shoulders).

Presuming Grimes, Rivers and Macdonald are only being rested, it appears we might have something close to our best line-up (minus Morton and Jurrah) come round one.

Not a bad result from a pre-season, all things considered.

Looks like both teams are playing some pretty decent teams. Glass and Lynch probably are the only 2 Eagles missing. This should be a decent tune up.

Seems odd to me that MacDonald is being rested. Didn't he miss the Essendon match?

Other then that, it looks like we'll have had our entire team out on the field in the pre-season at least once, with Bate and Wonna getting a run this week, so that stands us in good stead for Round 1.

The paranoid Melbourne supporter in me says season-ending flare-ups of previous back/groin injuries and hence doom.

Hopefull somebody has actual proof that they really are just being rested with mild toenail soreness, and nothing else unsure.gif

Nah he played that one.

I Dont think he played last week though.

2 weeks off, personally don't see the need. That also means he will get3 weeks off because of the break.

Oh, well even 'worse' then. Why he needs a rest, at his age with his body (I don't know of any recurring injuries, or any injyuries at all), I don't know. But if it gives Strauss, Cheney and McNamara more gametime then it's a good thing I guess.

Grimes was on side lines today at the junction oval doing handball drills. Must have pulled up sore after the Adelaide game. Nothing to worry about I dont think.

I'll be along, got an invite to the Casey Presidents dinner, so will see some of the Casey matches as well. I will happily note my thoughts here on Sunday for everyone, though they will be just one persons observations.

Matt Burgan's report in the MFC website (Garland Fit, Bate, Bruce ready)indicates that Morton will miss 12 weeks due to his knee injury. This is more than the 8-10 weeks reported on the official injury list.

Looks like Wonna and Hughes may play against the Wiggles this weekend.

I will be there taking photos (will post after the game obviously). I will also provide score updates from time to time. I'm sure Whispering Jack will provide a Match Report after the game. Judging from the Essendon game a few weeks ago I'm sure there will be plenty of Demonlanders providing updates during the game. Also the MFC official twitter account will be providing updates during the game.

Jst heard DB on SEN with Hungry. Wona likely to play in the curtain raiser game.

Nothing else of much interest. Talked about the injuries being mainly collision injuries which are pretty much unavoidable.

Players that have improved quite a bit are Strauss, Bennell, Maric and also said Jamar will 'dominate' a few games this year.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
