Practice Match - Melbourne v Hawthorn @ Casey Fields

Sounds like a good day. Count me in. :)

You're game I haven't fired the Cessna up myself for nearly 30 years. I might be a bit rusty on take off. You will have to navigate.

No problem. I have an awesome sense of direction.

Why the Cessna? Couldn't you take Thunderbird 1?


I don't suppose the game will be streamed on the MFC website?

Richmond are putting their practice match V's Essendon on their site.

I suspect the reason would be money BBP

i.e. we don't have enough.

PS it might be on Hawthorn's you might be able to watch it there.

Might be to increase the crowd as well. Not sure if the club makes money from these games but I think Casey usually do the BBQs and should rake in a fair few dollars which in turn helps MFC. And you'd hope someone makes some money from the car parking disaster.

Not at all, was in ground just before kick off last year, park 5 min walk if that, 2 mins to find a park

Ignore my BS about not having parking problems people, I am mixing up the practice match with the intra club

 

I haven't been up that way for years, I would like to go but it is a long way to drive from Fitzroy and my driving skills are a bit dodgy these days. But can I still land my Cessna at Casey Airfield? Anyone know? If I can that would be great, I could do a circuit of the ground before play if you like. Happy to hang a few Demon flags out off the wings. Over and out.

Sorry The Hood Casey Airfield is long gone, replaced by Monash University campus and a private Secondary College.

Maybe you could set her down on the athletics track.

Parking should not be the issue it has been due to the opening up of neighbouring housing developments,however local cricket finals are on this weekend and games will be on at Casey Fields which probably won't help entry and egress of vehicles.

From the time I've been going to these Casey practice games getting in to parking hasn't been too much of a problem. A little slow moving but you eventually get directed to the right area as it fills up.

The issue I've got is getting out they only have the one way out at the main entrance. At least last year they got everyone going out of there left or right quicker but they need a second exit which they probably wont do as it would mean crossing the rail tracks or cutting through properties south. Poor design but what do you expect I guess.

By the way for those coming down the Monash I've found it much quicker to go via Berwick and Clyde road than go through Cranbourne on the South Gippy Highway. Same on the way home.


While I could easily go last year's experience was a nightmare, even though I arrived in good time. The parking and traffic getting in and out is hideous.

Not to mention it's one of the worst spectator viewing grounds I've ever come across.

No thanks.

if we make the same errors against the Hawks we will get done by 10 goals plus, will be really interesting to see how we go.

Plenty of work has been done regarding entry and exit.

While there is still only one exit road it has been widened and is multi laned.

Not ideal but should be an improvement on previous setup.

took me over an hour to even start moving in the car park last year. 90 minutes to leave the car park. Wont be doing that again

Dont go you putrid little sook you won't be missed.

Dont tell me how to post!

Tough day today possum?


How's the people that drive from Melbourne to Kardinia Park for a game, that's what brings flags and glory some of our supporters a very timid and weak, very dissapointing people want premiership cups but they want them for nothing.

Timid, weak, disappointing. Are you describing yourself?

There premiership supporters because they travel to support there club 9 times a year, if you don't like Casey don't go the main reason this clubs dying is because of weak links like yourself , If people have attitudes like you this club will be finished by 2020, this club needs Casey like the Hawks needed Waverly now if you don't go that's up to you but dont cry when we go down like Fitzroy .

Sorry but that's a load of s@#$, the club is not dying, and it's certainly not dying because some supporters won't choose to go watch a practice game at casey.

Port Addlaide have 52,000 members we have people complaining about driving 1 hr to a new regional centre , think about ?

Who cares what Port have, we have 28,000 and are coming off a 2 win season, some supporters aren't going to drive to casey, myself included and that is going to have absolutely no bearing on whether the club survives long term or not, how many W's we put out in the next three years however will.

iv been travelling on a train for years to

the MCG to watch my team play do I [censored] and moan , it works both ways we should be thankful the clubs not at Junction Oval because if they were they would be finished , 1 practice game and fools whinge about parking and travel if you can't handle it Dont go, if supporters felt the way that sook Hannibal does how many members would we have not every one live 10 mins from the g .

You are aware of the slight difference in access by public transport to the G as compared to Casey ? You are are of the slight difference in car parking options and the way traffic disperses from the G as opposed to Casey ? You are aware of the excellent viewing facilities at the G as compared to Casey ?

No-one moans about travelling to the G because it is the premier sporting stadium in Australia - with great viewing and easy access....as opposed to Casey.

50,000 is the average now we need outside support but if you don't support Casey that's your decision D26 , this clubs 22,000 members behind port and I back Jims and Paul's decision to see it through.

Honestly, I've never had a problem getting a park at Casey. Getting out can be a pain because of the volume of traffic, but you get that a pretty much any venue. If you're really worried about it leave partway through the Casey game and you should have no issues. I do advise caution with the canteen though. I've had some terrible results from eating some of their cooking in the past, in particular the egg and bacon rolls.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
