Just went to the Collingwood VFL site by chance.

We could perhaps learn a few things from them.

First: Cost of entry is zero for home and away games.

The club run website provides clear and consistent game day reports including quarter by quarter reports

Here's an example:

KC and others do a wonderful job updating us on this site and I like the coaches notes on the MFC listed players.

Small thing and an example of what clubs with money can do

One man who will not be taking part in the Preliminary Final is Melbourne's forgotten man Dean Terlich who was suspended for one match following the Qualifying Final win. The Scorpions have a few hand

Be Nice if we see both Scorpions teams in the Grand Final! A fitting reward for both the Casey and Melbourne-listed players!

Uhm the Pies are rolling in money, it is a stand alone side, they play games at a venue you could walk into for free.

I think you'll find the fixturing reflects a Western Bulldogs / Footscray priority as they are the only club with teams still contending in both competitions (and the WB are playing on Fri night and hence likely to play the following Fri night or Sat if they win through.  A Sat fixturing for Footscray minimises the scheduling / recovery gap differential across their two teams).  With the VFL GF set for Sun, Casey still gets a minimum 7 day break if they make it.  If Melbourne were contending in the AFL finals series as well as Casey, I'm sure we'd want it managed in the same manner.  We must resist the temptation on here of becoming too provincial and paranoid....

The Bulldogs AFL team will be playing in the Saturday prelim if the make it. They pulled out players from their VFL team on Sunday who were in line for selection next week. 

I get that I'd be arguing for the opposite if we were still playing in the AFL but I think the VFL should focus on their own comp, and give the Dogs VFL team a 7 day break instead of worrying about the what ifs from the AFL.

As mentioned already there's no way that they could charge for people to watch them play at the ground they kicked Athletics Australia out of.

If you want real-time updates on how Casey are doing game day, either get to the ground (entry is free with a Melbourne Membership),

or follow the Scorps Twitter and/or facebook page for live updates on who's scoring the goals as they happen, and a score/goalscores

and stats breakdown at each change. 

You could also tune into Radio 3SER to listen to a lot of the games live.

Not sure how many more outlets to keep informed you'd like...

I have high hopes for ANB when he finally has the chance to play his natural position... hopefully he gets that chance with the Dees.

Totally agree. Poor bugger plays almost exclusively as a mid in the VFL racking up 30+ possessions a week and then is played as a Death Valley forward in the senior team.

Im thinking we are yet to see anything near the best of ANB at AFL level.

ANB gets pushed off the ball/out of position too easily.

Michie's defensive game is deplorable and is the only thing preventing him from being a regular in the 1s.

Williamstown's midfield is easily the best in the VFL. Casey are optimistically hoping to break even in clearances on the weekend and will be using third man up as much as possible.

Apparently.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
