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.

is that the Go Gat....?

In other words, either threaten him with the sword or, bang? Do you think

The word is conundrum...just saying

Dieter's earnt his red socks i reckon

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

Played coached and watched footy all over Australia

Casey not up to providing for a crowd of more than a few hundred 

It  needs lots of upgrading if its to be Demons second home

No doubting it's a first world problem, however I don't think it's unreasonable to expect EFTPOS facilities at anywhere charging over $5 in 2017.  Get with the times.

Me too bb.

we are a stubborn lot!

I would hate to see the membership numbers at Sydney if they had endured our run of the last decade.

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. 

Dieter - should have just jumped onto the Ticketmaster site on your phone, bought the ticket online and got the guys on the gate to scan the barcode on your phone. Very common nowadays - FYI for next time mate.
