Off to the west for first practice against the Anchors:

I hope they are all televised, especially as it is unlikely most will get to the first two games and the third, if we lose the first 2 games, could be completely meaningless.

Then again some say the whole NAB Cup is meaningless, but they are usually the ones who aren't in the final.

Its a chance at a real hitout....thats all it is and all that the club will view it as.

Looks like the game in Ballarat against the Dogs won't be televised.

Out of the 6 games that aren't televised, surprisingly the powerhouses of North, St Kilda, Dogs and us are involved.

I much prefer playing Essendon as our lead in game as opposed to hawthorn this year when we lost by 100 points!

It's just three rounds of football for all clubs - no finals.

If paul roos had his way he probably wouldn't even keep score

We need to play to win every time we step on the field. I'm sick of this club just going through the motions in the pre season and then acting all surprised when they get flogged in round 1.

I hope they play well and you enjoy it.

Last time we played Freo in the pre season was at Subi in 2010 and we copped a belting and I remember thinking jesus it's going to be another long season we are so far off the mark. Hence 2010 turned out better than I expected with us looking like we were heading in the right direction for the future.

This time I think we are in better hands both on and off the field

Not sure that our third match against Essendon sans 18 players* will prove much of a hit-out.

*Any player hit with an infraction notice is immediately 'provisionally suspended'. The player may appeal to the AFL anti-doping appeal tribunal.

Have to learn new AFL speak. In the future Essendon means Bye.

Disapointed to see that we aren't playing a game out at Casey Fields. Was looking forward to walking the couple of 100 meters with my 2 year old to watch them play.

No thanks. After our last two efforts there, I'm glad we're staying clear.

Pretty sure the WAFL will be having a couple of practice matches by then.

Dare say Peel won't let him play in the NAB for fear of injury.

Nice for us Dees in the West, Fish and Chips at Fishing boat harbour and a couple of beers in Freo before watching the Dees

A few Pale Ale pints down at LC's..

It's likely to be 35 degrees so better go well hydrated.

Red, Ballarat is only an hour and a bit away. Surely some tragic D'Ls could make their way up and give BMc some support for his first hit out against his old club. We have great support from around the Ballarat area and if the weather is fine we could get a nice crowd to start our trudge towards September....

    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
