Let's just see for how long. I am an optimist. I have stayed tuned since the Hassa Mann days, been to games where Matthews slew Smith, watched and observed with great fervor. Yes, I am a Demon Tragic. And, anyway, our daughter doesn't care about my observations any more, she has a boyfriend. Unfortunately he follows the saints. Should I shoot him?

I'm with you skinny - lack of eftpos at significant venues or events is a [censored] joke.

I rarely carry cash unless I'm doing err...  "business" at establishments like the GAT.

Speaking of cash... there are twelve $100 notes in Oz per person and only six $20 notes. Apparently the vast majority of $100 bills are used to support the 'cash economy'. But the $50 note is the choice of hardened criminals. Biffen, on the other hand, peddles in bitcoins to keep the Gat afloat. 

The moral to the storey is you probably won't be audited by the ATO dieter.

If you had cash and you live in Thornbury and you like Christians you're obviously related to the Salems and drive a Mercedes and I know that your fellow countrymen are cash dealers. I deliberately spelt c not hash.Okay.  I'm glad you had cash and had a good day, I had to go home and get nagged to death by my wife.

ok for a start  whats wrong with christians ?you must be a lazy   s,o b could not even walk over the road to an atm   wow  so then you drive home to get a nagging from her indoors   a short walk might have been worth it  what a mug

I wish people would get over the Casey ground. It is your typical outer surburban ground that is capable of a few thousand at best.

Do people expect the MCG in Cranbourne?

it is our seconds ground that will see the seniors once a year in a practise match.

The MFC is on the way up from almost extinction four years ago.

In another decade after sustained success there may be money for ground development.

Until then enjoy a more successful side and forget about the small problems

As long as the Christians are playing for us and getting a kick, got no problem with them.

Besides, I was getting withdrawal symptoms, I was starting to shake, my ears were empty, I had a compulsion to return to the marital abode to get my daily medicine.

Just bring wheelbarrows full of cash to family function/double headers.

If Casey was smart, they'd do a deal with Bunnings and make a fortune hiring out the barrows for the day.

I always pay cash at VFL grounds because I assume they won't take cards. 

I don't recall seeing credit card facilities at any grounds I've visited, Coburg, Port, Sandy, Werribee, Essendon.

i understand you're frustration but it was pretty dumb going without enough cash to get in. Obviously not a Boy Scout of old.

    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
