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?

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

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.

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
