JKH is small, that's what makes his performances even better

Ground is three doors from where my daughter is living

Looks tiny

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
