AFL Reserves

[Theo 276]

There has been some recent murmurs about the AFL re-introducing the AFL Reserves competition.

I heard on the 3AW rumour file this morning that a certain South-East Council with a ground named after it is not very happy with this development because it has spent a considerable amount of rate payer's money upgrading the facility for a certain AFL Club.

Does anybody know what ramifications this may with our Casey alliance should this goes ahead?

Whilst i would love to see reserves back the 3aw rumour file has about 0.9% truth to it , so it won't happen

One of the guys on the Foxtel AFL Teams show (think it might have been Liam Picken) also claimed a couple of weeks ago there would be a Reserves comp next year. Would love to see it, but who knows?

I dare say if MFC had a reserves side they would be called the Casey Demons and play at Casey Fields.

Obviously there's a lot more to it, but the dees are committed to the Casey area and wouldn't pull out of there - it's our future

I don't see what is wrong with the current system.

it would be nice if they brought back the 'curtain raiser'.

i could see it working at certain grounds

Agreed! I remember as a kid going to the odd game at the MCG and watching both the Reserves and the Seniors. Made for a great day!

And while the firsts missed out on the Granny, we could always watch the U/19s and ressies

I used to love getting there early to watch the 2s.

I remember watching doggie brown go about his thing in the 2s and knowing he was going to make the grade.

Made him one of my favourites.

I would always go to the finals even if our firsts wern't in but the reserves were You still felt part of it. Maybe one game per week on a rotation system. I don't know how the MCG and Etihad would feel having an extra game on the turf though.

I don't think that the AFL/MCC would ever allow curtain raisers to be played on the 'G' ever again, unfortunately. Same deal at Jihad Stadium. I too wish we could get to a game at 12.30 and catch the up and comers going round.
