    Any optimists here saving September 27th for a celebratory evening / weekend ? :-)))))

    So can anyone enlighten me what the real difference between an NAB Challenge game (18 games in 18 days, no ladder, finals or a "Winner" from what I can see) and the round of practice games that start straight after?

    Are the rules different (super goals etc) for the NAB Challenge?

    What do other Demonlanders make of reverting back to an original AGM, i.e. with no information session?

    The information session in previous summers was a highlight of the off-season, and I'm disappointed that these have been dropped. It makes it less likely that I'll come along to the AGM now.

    I'm wondering if this is a cost saving measure, but others may have better suggestions on the reason for it.

    Don't see how it could be a cost saving measure. They still need the use of the members dining room. Seems to be just another measure to put the members at arms length. Perhaps they are hoping that the numbers will be reduced and in future they can hold it at the Bentleigh Club as in years gone by.

    Savings made by dropping the Info Session could also come from:

    - Less overtime for the administrative staff, Roosy, Josh Mahoney and any other ops staff who attend.

    - Less time required to prepare a presentation for any Info Session.

    - Shorter time in the MCC Dining Room.

    I'm clutching at straws while trying to come up with possible reasons. So far, it seems pretty mean on the part of the MFC.

    Just read the notice and it does not mention a question time.

    I will ring the club tomorrow and ask.

    Is there still an Indigenous team v AFL team game prior to the NAB cup starting?

    Any danger of members getting in to the Casey game for free this year, or are we going to get stung for entry, parking and every other possible thing again?

    Nab cup are definitely pay jobs but don't know about the Practice match at Casey vs hawks.

    So there won't be an intra club game coming up i'm guessing. Does anyone remember the one in 2010 at Casey Fields? I really loved that and thought it was a great event for the club

    Bumping J.R.S' post. Does anyone know when the intra-club match is? I thought it was this Friday but I'm not sure.

    • 4 weeks later...

    According the the AFL website, the game is at 1.00pm on the 8th of March.

    Contacted the Club today re cost of entry. The very quick reply (cudos to Georgina) was that entry is free ^_^ She also sent a pdf doc which I can't seem to load here and can't find on MFC website. So, overview is:

    11am – FREE Dees FunZone :rolleyes:

    * Face painting * Autographs * MFC Mascots and Entertainment *

    * Membership and Merchandise available * Practice your footy skills *

    Followed by the Hawthorn game at 1.00pm which is then followed by Casey Scorpions v Box Hill Hawkes game.

    On a side issue: Just don't get why AFL have this hybrid NAB Challenge/practice games thing happening...aren't they all just practice games? The former are televised and have entry fees, the latter do not. Weird! Wonder what happened to the prize money for winner of the old 'NAB Cup', this year. :unsure:

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
