Just take that she thought you were cute and forget the rest. Guessing Maxy would have been the most popular player on the day?

It’s still uncomfortable as I get tired of thinking any man and woman together must be a couple. Though I was flattered that she thought I was their mother.

Gawn was awesome. Asked my nephew who his favourite player was. Even though it’s Jones, he said Gawn. Really friendly and seemed to be having a good time. Even lifted up twins for this woman I saw.

As for complaining about it not being held at Luna Park, how about going to Luna Park after? It’s not like it’s late or anything. It was packed there as it was.

There seemed to be more of the little kids there but less teenagers. Possibly a venue like Luna Park would appeal to them a bit more than the G. The club might look at possibly alternating the venue to cater for that crowd.

Location would play a part in this. But also it might be related to our poor performances and standing as a club for the past decade. We've no doubt lost a chunk of potential supporters from that generation. 

 

Moving on... has anyone got any photos of the day, apart from on Facebook? They didn’t show much apart from the video

Apologies to Jake L who l seem to have caught at an awkward moment.

Finally back to the subject...

Awesome shots. I bet they’ll be big stars in a few years. What a great day.

Bump. I took my family to the Melbourne Stars family day at Casey Fields yesterday. It was a significantly bigger and better event than our own family day, and I hope the MFC took notice. There were probably around 40 activities around the oval, plus the WBBL game next door, compared to perhaps 10-15 at the MFC day.

Local sporting clubs and other groups were represented, and there was cross-promotion with other codes (eg Melbourne Stars memberships bought on the day came with free MFC memberships, although this was not promoted other than via email a couple of days earlier). 

The crowd was smaller than I expected (not necessarily a bad thing for the attendees) but still decent, and perhaps the weather forecast played a part. With the number of activities and stalls everyone was well spread out and lines were never overly long.

Although there were some AFL activities, MFC was not promoted at all on the day which I thought was a big oversight. The Rebels, Victory and Vixens all had a presence to some extent.

After the players were presented on stage they were available for an hour for autographs and photographs in the inside of a roped off square. My son picked up 30+ signatures in just over half an hour without moving an inch, plus some photos with his favourites. 

I assume there would be resistance to moving our family day to Casey (I am midway between the two so am not fussed either way), but getting that level of support from the City of Casey would be attractive. Thoughts?

I hope the club puts on the Family Day at the MCG again in 2019. It was a fantastic day and the kids loved it. I also hope they have more activities for the kids. The lines for the ones they had were huge. It was great that the club was able to attract so many people but they need to have more activities spread around to accommodate everyone.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
