Had a chat with Justin Plapp after the main training. He seems extremely happy and excited for Sunday!

His interview on the MFC website sounds very positive (as does Weideman's interview)! They are all excited about Sunday.

Man I can't tell you how excited I am for this game. My brother in 10 years of football has never played in a Grand Final, and nothing on this level. He is absolutely beaming with anticipation (which

All those weeks of traipsing down to Casey.  All that time spent walking round the outer. All those match day reports from KC and the D'landers.  All those egg and bacon rolls. It

This may be a dumb question, but what colours are people wearing on Sunday? It's easy for the footscray kids, but should we throw on the Dees gear in support?

There are often many supporters in Dees gear at Scorps matches - prob more than those in Scorps gear. It's essentially the same colours (speaking from a male standpoint) and the connection between clubs is well known, so go for it. Hat, scarf, jumper ect.

Think it's actually a good question. Dogs are red, white & light blue. Scorps are red, white & dark blue. So the colours are the same, apart from the shades of the blue, and possibly the shades of the red too.

Makes sense to turn up in Dees gear and miss out the white.

No Don't, I took my Mrs to Bunnings for a sausage on valentines day and she didn't appreciate it.

And she still has the nerve to tell me I don't care about her.

Some women are never pleased.

Surprised she has to travel all the way, to Bunnings no less, to earn a sau-sage. silly sausage, doc

Going tomorrow because its a grand final and its the closest thing to see Melbourne play in one. also looking forward to seeing Casey play and also probably be the last chance to see some of our MFC players play for the red and blue.

 Stupid question but why isnt dawes playing? Did he not qualify.

Yes. Dawes did not qualify.

JKH qualified (he did not player any AFL games in 2016 so the handful of games played for Casey and its DL team was sufficient) but he must have been put into cotton wool because of his injury history this year.

Dogs winning into the GF will have the dogs fans on a big high and wouldn't surprise me if they get a few more through the gate because of it. 

C'mon Scorps, bring them back down to earth!

Pretty sure he did another bit of a hammy towards the end of the year 'Jack'...

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
