Agree us Demon fans need something to watch! (they would probably get a lot of demon fans watching)

They have been on once this year - at least we have had the socceroos and soon the Tour de France to watch.

You are lucky. I am in Europe and there is no AFL to watch whatsoever. I am going to even miss the women's match between the Dees and the Doggies!

There are a few other things to do!

I wonder what the argument of those who say you have to earn it is. Casey play good footy and top the ladder. Interesting.

Casey would be rubbish to watch today - and you'd need a hell of a lot of cameras to cover them!

Nah, they played, the went down... Barry kicked a bag and Hogan pulled in close to 20 marks.

Still wasn't enough unfortunately.

That may be Casey reserves but the seniors certainly had a bye.

Thanks for that. Helpful. Of course, a quick look at the VFL website shows that they do indeed have a bye. I wonder how the reserves went?

Pretty sure it has something to do with the ground at Casey. Its has not been setup for multiple cameras yet and therfore not suited for VFL coverage.

You would think that we would still be televised as the visiting team every now and again though.

I would have thought it was because the ABC would sort out their tv schedule at the start of the season to make sure they cover all teams as much as they can under their charter. So it wouldn't matter who was where on the ladder.

Casey don't play on a Saturday until the 27th of July and that's at midday so won't be on the ABC then 17th August and that is it for the season so don't expect any more

I suppose, given the above information, that the ABC schedule is decided when the fixture is announced. I've not looked at an AFL fixture at its release point, but if it has the time included wouldn't the 1:10 game every week be the televised game? Or do games change time occasionally?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
