Intraclub Practice Match - Thursday 20th February, 2014

Recommended Posts

Okay, here's one from left field.

I went to attend the Port Melbourne v Casey practice match last year with dog in tow and was denied entry to the ground by some officious security person.

Does anyone know if you can take dogs to the practice match on Thursday?

*slinks off waiting for a barrage of jokes.....*

BB dogs are definitely verboten at Casey Fields footy ground.

Given the practice match is at Goschs Paddock our canine supporters should be ok as it is part of open parkland.

I have seen people walking dogs there on past visits to training.

Sorry OD probably didn't explain clearly, no dog policy at Casey is only when someone is on the gate, even though signage is up 24/7.

Gosch's paddock is never a problem.

Thanks for all the advice everyone and particularly T-34 (unless of course you're pulling my leg!). K9 and I will most likely attend.

Particular thanks to Redleg for showing I'm only the 2nd worse comedian on DL.

Shute, didn't realize it was at Goschs! Thanks T-34.

Besides which, your dog's called Jack and is therefore welcome at any venue where the MFC plays.

Nine players set for intra-club returnKey forwards Chris Dawes, Jesse Hogan and Jack Fitzpatrick; ruckmen Mark Jamar and Max Gawn; versatile tall Jack Watts and smalls Jack Viney and Dean Kent, Shannon Byrnes are on track to play.

That's from the club website, Watts "is on track" to play apparently.

One think I like about this article is that it correctly states that Mitch Clark's injury is a hamstring and not the original foot injury. Once we understand that then we can appreciate that the sky is definitely not falling.

Unless it is a Cyril Rioli type hamstring

Apparently there are twelve Casey Players making up the team numbers today. I wonder how much Sportsbet money is on troy Davis as BOG?

Do you feel honoured WJ?

Very much so BB. Jack is currently the flavour of the month at the MFC and I'm proud to lead the Melbourne Jack Pack which goes all the way back to the late great Jack Mueller to the many Jacks we have at the club and even to Jack the K9. And our bite is worse than our bark.

I don't have a job and I still can't get there.

I am going tomorrow all things being equal.

Last chance for me to see something approaching a game before 22nd March.

I will probably squeeze in a half.

Anyone else going?

I have been able to reschedule my appointments in retirement

I'll be there. sitting in my little folding chair.

Edited for accuracy but we don't know who 27 is - Riley?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
