If anyone has not noticed both Leighoak and Bentleigh Club have a fantastic deal for this game.

It is includes lunch, bus trip out to Casey, entry to the game and a "roast dinner" on your return - all yours for $50 adults.

Parking and getting out of the ground will be horrendous and seating probably non-existing so get on board the bus and support the Club.

There are more details on the Club's website.

Matt Burgan is running a North Korea style media campaign. Only reports on the good stuff. If you were only watching his updates you would think we were up by 5 goals.

Just on Parking, never been to that area, is there street parking nearby?

It's a number of grounds out at Casey. There is enough parking in the surrounding area and a decent sized park just outside the ground but it can get messy if there is enough people coming and going at the same time as there is only one entry/exit point.

Leave early or late I would say.

Will be heading over to the St. Kilda game with a mate.

Who else will be in attendance?

Does Demonland have its own Grandstand & Full Bar facilities?

Would love to share a few cold ones and see the Aints get throttled.

Can anyone recommend a place to park? I'm thinking of taking my 3 year old for his first Demon experience and will be driving. From the MFC website I get the impression that parking at Casey Fields is limited and could be an issue.

Any advice...

Will be there,

Parking should be fine really, especially if you get there even a bit early. The roads inbound through Cranbourne / Clyde can do get congested.

Edit: Got to one game at quarter time last year and had to park in the area behind the goals instead of behind the stands but that was a 5 minute walk instead of a 2 minute walk.

Yeah, the actual parking itself is no problem, it's the roads on the way in that aren't ideal. I think if you get there early it's all good but trying to arrive at game time you're going to be in a world of hurt.

They'll be charging for parking, but have a free bus from the train station. Not exactly a good thing for those of us who have to drive. Also, it looks like the arrive before the game thing is shot given they have a big get-together planned for the families beforehand. I still plan to go along of course, but it is a minor annoyance.

Well I just purchased a lot out there to build on that's a 5 minute walk from the ground opposite the athletics track so I might just have to park on that...

Maybe you can offer discounted parking?

3?

My advice is to wait till round 1. Port better first up choice. Ground will be full at Casey and facilities not ideal, will probably spend game holding him. Round 1 will be against interstate team at the G. More space, better facilities.

Is my plan for my 3yo first Demon experience anyway...

There's fun and games on pre-game. He'll be ok.

I live 15 minutes away from Casey. The parking is really good. Limited capacity and definitely not sufficient for the crowd likely for the game against the Saints. Arrive really early if you want a definite car park.

The ground is usually excellent but they had some grass poisoned by an over zealous attendant who killed more than the weeds. There is still some speculation that because of this the game might be moved. Keep your eyes on the MFC website, especially the morning of the game.

I can't believe I have a wedding to attend. Murphy's %$@&* law again. I will have the AFL app on most of the day - maybe even during the ceremony - and I am conducting it!

The grandstand is good but is small, and many people end up on the eastern side of the ground due to sun glare. There are 3 long shelters on the eastern side of the ground. If you come be prepared for wind (it is NEVER still at Casey Fields)

I parked 200 metres West of the ground a year or so back. It was in a local business car park after hours. No problem after game. Just a brisk walk. I will be driving, but getting there early is a must, given local estate traffic and distance from MCG. No Bars, as such, just regular country football canteen. Buy up and stack em up is my suggestion!

    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
