Intra Club Game - Friday 15 February 9:30am @ Casey Fields

If we are playing an intraclub game, do we combine this with Casey Scorpions, since we don't have 44 players on the track to form two teams? How does it work?

I think they pick players from the crowd.

Last year they didn't only Melbourne listed players, they reduced the numbers per side. This year we have a very healthy list, if we stay that way the only players that won't be ready to play is Trengove, Clark and Gawn. Even Hogan trained with the main group today.

I'm sure they'll get a massive crowd out there, given that it's during business hours ...
Yes they really should be conducting training and intra-clubs at a time that is suitable to us. Maybe 7pm when everyone has gotten home and had their din-dins.

St Kilda are having their hit out on a Saturday morning so every man and his dog can watch it. Plus a great opportunity to sell memberships.

I reckon 9:00 on a Friday morning in East Cranbourne is a crap time, for those that want to actually attend.

Something else we should keep an eye out for is any kind of hitout against Collingwood. They did it last year - only for players under 25 or something - and there was talk at the time that it could become a regular part of the pre-season buildup.

I seem to recall that last year it wasn't announced anywhere, so perhaps keep our ears open.

Once again they set things up to avoid selling memberships or letting the fans have a look at their team working. Whoever schedules these things for the club needs to taken out behind the change rooms and shot.

Are you serious?

I'm glad they set things up to suit the football dept and them alone.

We're all about getting more wins.

When the wins come, the members will increase in accordance.

If you're that desperate to see the match, take the day off work.

I live 5 mins from Casey so it doesnt bother me, but you would think that the brain fart that organised it would move it a day forward then maybe a few hundred people would turn up, give the fans something to watch, maybe see some progress, most people cant attend training.

I'm fortunate enough to have some business interests in the Cranbourne area so I don't even have to take the day off work. I just need to tailor some appointments around the time of the game and get down there on the day.

I would think that the FD has worked out their schedule for the intraclub game in line with the start of our NAB Cup campaign which comes seven days later.

That's the nature of sports science these days.

Will try and get down to that. I went a couple of years ago and it was well worth it.

WJ your use of simple logic is frankly disconcerting.

I really enjoyed it in 2010 and most of 2011 up until players changed teams in the third quarter. From what I heard 2012 was a calamity with 17 3-minute quarters and trees and cones on the field or something

I really think playing a proper match is a great event for the club, the turnout and the atmosphere are great and it has previously got me pumped about the season after seeing all the players in action

Friday the 15th at 10am at Casey Fields.

Not sure how the format will be. Last year it was 8, 8 minute quarters from memory, certainly different.....

Hopefully it's more a proper match this year.

What, we were experimenting in the intra club match too? Bloody hell, Caro will now start reporting that we were practicing how to experiment in game-like conditions.

Maths doesn't seem to be our strong point on Demonland. Eight quarters? Seventeen quarters?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
