    How about the playing surface, size wise?

    I'm looking forward to the game but never has the same feel watching it on TV when the stadium is so small.

    Shame Dawes isn't playing, i have to say i'd be more confident if he was.

    Had a more detailed look at ground

    Surface looks magnificent

    They had Low key function with players and officials Jetta the pinup boy

    Was great to see a number of local indigenous people in official Melbourne outfits

    The facilities make the junction oval seem palatial

    The stand probably holds a few hundred at most and there are a small number of temporary stands holding tens of people

    Today Is hot 28 but dry heat

    Tomorrow meant to be cooler say 21

    Looking forward to it

    The whole town is quite excited about game

    Do virgin fly to Alice Springs?

    I'm guessing there are extenuating circumstances...

    Bingo. Even when players are going on overseas trips they are 'advised' to travel with the AFL's official sponsor.

    In this case, given no flights were applicable to destination at the time convenient to the Dees I'm guessing they flew QANTAS instead.

    Wish I was there instead of stuck at home looking after a grumpy husband who has the man flu. Saw the story on the news tonight and the setting looked amazing. It will be a fantastic experience for everyone there - hope we win as well. Maybe next year for me.

    Enjoy and go Dees.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
