KC from Casey

The only game in town this weekend as far as I'm concerned. You can head down to North Port Oval (or whatever they call it these days) or watch live on 7 or listen to 3SER Casey Radio.

Thanks kc. Im close to being sufficiently over my funk to consider going to this match. At least the weeks break has some positive outcome for dees fans.

Good for you. I'm seeking positive outcomes; not seeing it yet Binman. I think it will be 7-8 months away tbh.

With the finals now here the funk has well and truly returned. Round 1 2018 seems a very long time away

I think we were too top heavy last week, so would have Ferreira in for Hulett.

 And Richmond's side:

B: 42. R. Garthwaite, 53. H. Beasley, 11. J. Batchelor

HB: 28. T. Hunt, 51. S. Darley, 15. J. Short

C: 31. O. Markov, 29. S. Bolton, 37. C. Menadue

HF: 32. C. Ellis, 27. S. Lloyd, 38. S. Morris

F: 44. T. Stengle, 24. B. Griffiths, 36. C. Moore

R: 16. S. Hampson, 7. B. Lennon, 26. A. Miles

Int: 20. I. Maric, 47. I. Soldo, 41. M. Chol, 64. T. Silvestro, 78. D. Coffield, 57. B. Wood, 54. J. Ballard, 30. R. Conca 23P: 69. S. Mannagh

Plenty of senior experience in this side, including 3 giant ruckmen in Hampson,  Maric and Soldo, as well as Chol at 198cm. King and Spencer will have their work cut out, as will the defence. Expect Kielty to go to the resting ruck, and the skipper to take Griffiths. 

Looking forward to seeing Lefau play again he was pretty good a few weeks ago as 23rd man. Also great to see Jimmy Munro recover to be available after last week's knock.

Nice place to watch footy at. 

What is the admission price for Mfc members. 

If I recall the $5 deal only applies to the home and away games. 

Would be good to see a strong performance... Frankly any glimpse of good news would be welcome 

Last week was $15. No discount for members in finals so I'd imagine it'd be the same this week

Tomorrow scares me.

Richmond have a very strong team, and they will absolutely be feeding off the Tigers win tonight, especially since those boys will be fighting for a spot in an AFL prelim. 

Casey are gonna have to bring everything to win this game.

Looks better in a team with some positions I can actually read. Should still be a strong Casey side if the rucks can break even and the midfield fires. 

But the backline will struggle with the Richmond forwards and the Casey forward line has been hit and miss for most of the year and lacks depth.

Given Casey haven't really looked like a serious contender this year and Richmond's AFL listed players have a heap to play for I'd imagine the Tigers will win pretty comfortably.

Well the game will be on TV, and given how the Tigers are travelling there might be a large amount of opposition supporters there.

But North Port Oval (or whatever it's called these days) is a fantastic ground to spectate so if the weather is alright, I'd definitely go down. 

Plus good chances you'll run into a few of the regular senior players and/or coaches who will be there.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
