I suffer from terminal amnesia. Give an ex digger a clue? 

I'm old enough to demand, don't riddle me!

I know, you're an extra terrestrial ring in, brought to terra firmus on the wings of the Phantom.

Also, I'm a busy man. I have my finger in many meat pies. Some days I don't know whether it's Monday or Monday week.

All that is constant is the scintillating commentary from my beautiful wife - all Polish girls are genetically blessed with the god given gift of pulchritude - and the constant demands of a teenage daughter, who is at least 50% genetically correct ,who mistakes her father for an ATM.

ok a hint. you commented on the lilting sound of my forebears

Who plans their day in 2017 to the extent that one must assume that an AFL fixture is played at a venue that doesn't have eftpos facilities? I can understand it in an under-age suburban competition bu

I don’t see what everyone’s complaining about. The last time I went to Casey, they hadn’t invented money there yet. I had to barter with livestock.

In thisday and age no eftpos is ridiculous. Wife does markets and even we have mobile eftpos pay facility.  Agree with Dieter, very poor, last century thinking.

Yes, apologies, D stands for Da and C stands for Celt.

Must say, you're a cultured chap, can't say that for a lot of the respondents.

It is what it is. Been there a few times. Problem was the car parking. Eftpos? WtF?

Its called planning your day.

It was a great day.  Picnic rugs, chairs in the outer, great playing conditions. Just need  to be flexible.  Got out of the carpark in a 1/10 of the time as at the ' G ' too.

Dolce for those who know what to expect. Me, I'm just a Box Hill Bogan who wants to watch his team 50 kilometres away at Casey Fields. How was I to know one needed the accouterments alluded to above?

Like I said, this is 2017. One shouldn't need to fork out $38 in cash when there is money in the bank and one can use this facility in just about any money-making/losing venture in Australia. If it was to be a Cash Only venture then one needs to INFORM one's clientele. Failure to keep your customers informed and happy is simply bulldust.

So you know the ropes. Any mercy for those who don't?????

yeah, but i hope they had vegan, gluten-free, non-dairy, low-sugar, halal, kosher and nut-free options available 

Nut-free and a crowd of Demon supporters sounds impossible to me ... :)

The 'year' setting on my watch would take a beating flying from Perth to Melbourne then driving to Casey. Would I be travelling to the future then back to the past or would it be the present again if Casey were equal to Perth? 

I went to a WAFL game last season and I couldn't get in because I didn't have any shillings.

And you guys think you have it hard.

I was going to India last month but they cancelled the note equivalent of the $10 and $20 notes. That represented 86% of the currency on issue in a country where 90% plus of the transactions are in cash. To say it caused chaos is an understatement.

Came to Hanoi instead. Not much eftpos here but the bia hoi (fresh beer) is cheap!!

You should head north to the Dong Van region if you have the time Diamond Jim. I was there just recently and it's an absolutely stunning part of the globe. Take cash.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
