You have to remember that our main sessions are done at Casey, our preseason was done at Casey and Casey has a MCG size oval with Goal Posts. This week park in the tennis centre walk across Swan Street and have a look at our new oval, as of mid year we will have fantasic facilities.

    well since people take what they see on footy classified and make a thread out of it, i'll just take what I saw on footy classified, Lyon's comments, and respond: you are not telling the club anything they don't already know when you say it is a disgrace etc they are working on the problem. End of story.

    This thread was started last Friday - not after Footy Classified. Have some respect please.

    As for the ground being roped off in the centre during training. Yes of course it was - why should we train at a ground where you can use the corridor?

    None of this is anything new guys. This is why we're moving to AAMI Park. It's been recognised by the club for some time now as a huge handicap. It's not a failing of anybody currently associated with the club, judge their performance on providing the FD with quality facilities around July this year once we're in at AAMI Park.

    Yeah. If anything, Footy Classified ripped off the OP, the esteemed Mr. frank Rugolo - whoever that is.

    Training is about improving skills and there are a range of drills that can be done without having to have pot shots at the sticks.

    Totally correct -the Junction oval would only be used to refine skills and furthermore, do drills pertaining to match day.Kicking for goals would be done at Casey at main practice session.

    does that mean the tigers will have the worst facilities in the AFL now?

    I thought the move to AAMI Park was mostly about the gym and medical facilities (eg recovery post game) while training will be done elsewhere, as AAMI is a small square field with rugby or soccer goal posts.

    Am I wrong?

    We will train 50m away outside on Gosch's Paddock.

    So practically outside at AAMI Park.

    Drove down Swan street yesterday, oval is almost ready to go all the fencing has been pulled down, the post have been up but were down for some reason. It is going to be strange when we cant blame our facilities anymore.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
