I know it means little, but I would be interested to read what some of the posters on here think some of the match-ups could be.

Or do they constantly rotate players around?

    Why on earth would they schedule it for a time when people will be at work? Wouldn't it make more sense from a PR perspective to make it a Saturday games so more people can watch? I would love to go to this, but I won't finish work until 6pm.

    They did this and played it on a Saturday back in 2010. Took my son and we had a great time!

    Pretty good turn up there too from memory.

    I agree that it should be on a weekend...

    Pity, cos I would make the trip from Traralgon to go again if it wasn't on a wasn't on a weekday.

    It's hard to envisage the match ups this far out although the one that would interest me would be James Frawley v Jack Watts or Mitch Clark.

    If you want to know what to expect from the game and going by past years' intraclub games, there would probably be around 30-32 MFC players with the numbers topped up by 10 to 12 young Casey players. With that happening and plenty of rotations, particularly if it's a hot day, then the likelihood is that there won't be too many match ups that last for long periods during the games.

    Rather than specific match ups I'd be more interested at that stage in where certain players are being positioned e.g Blease, Davey, Grimes and Morton. I think there will be a reasonable amount of experimentation and feeling out of where individual players fit in best with the coach's structures. We have at least, been given some indications at training as to which positions many of the players will take in the early months of the season

    There's been a time change for the intraclub game. Now starts at 3:00pm.

    Intra-club time change

    Wow. They're really determined to play in front of no spectators this year.

    I've figured it out. Neeld comes from Collingwood, and since none of their supporters are employed, they would get a good turnout at 3 on a Friday afternoon. He just needs to adjust to fans who work for a living.

    The time of the day doesnt matter to me so much as the date.

    Having the intra-club only One week before a scheduled NAB Cup fixture seems too close.

    This may mean we cant see some players put it all (or a fair bit) on the line. At all at all.

    I expect to read online some good excuses for major letdowns.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
