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.

    Daniel Hughes gets his chance, good luck mate.

    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.

    Is Dunn and in as well? I didn't think he has played this p.s.

    Nah, Dunn played against Adelaide last weekend.

    See AFL Photos pics for proof.

    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.

  • Quote

    Cant wait to get down to casey this weekend to see Wonna, Bruce and Batey play. Will be good to see a bit more fire power in the forward line.

    Hopefully I'll be able to go.

    squad looks good with Bate, Moloney and Sylvia back.

    Does anyone know what happened to MacDonald and Grimes, were they just dropped or is there a minor injury concern.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • 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.
