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: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
