Used to happen at Parkside and Alphington too

I got the worst broken nose in History against parkside once, got the Footy set sail for goal kicked it was in to celebration mode and then... The lights went out! Surgeon said the worst break he'd seen. Sheeeeit was I a mess! ?

Parkside... Thuggery personified!

Good, My son in law played for parkside, my son played for them and has been their footy manager for the last 5 years.

I’m up nice and early today. It’s a beautiful wintery morning, the birds are singing, Melbourne had a huge win, I get to watch my brother play high level football in just a few hours, and not to mention Jack Viney!

Imagine being a 19 year old Casey listed player, missed out on getting drafted, been playing well enough to squeeze into a packed VFL team, and as you run out on the day, the god damn Captain of the Melbourne Football Club is running next to you.

Cant wait too watch today’s game and hopefully it’s another big win. Carn the Dee’s!

I used to go to some of Parkside’s home games because my parents had a business nearby. The local fans were tougher than some of the players and I remember seeing opposition fans being chased at the end of games by thugs with axe handles. That area’s changed and has become gentrified so I can imagine fans being greeted with tea and hot scones with jam at half time these days.

My wish for today is that the boys at Casey get through the day and that Jack comes up cherry ripe for selection against the Blues.

A win against the Hawks would be an added and welcome bonus.

You know it's little things like not having to rush Viney back in to the AFL, that means were becoming a better team. (This fact should not be understated). A few years ago, we would have brought him back underdone and suffered the consequences later in the season. This is really good news

 

What do you mean a few?  They did it last year ?

What's the odds there will be a bigger crowd than the huge one of 6060 that went to the Gabba last night?

It hasn't changed in that respect, probably gotten worse if anything.

I seem to remember you had a love for cats when Delan was drafted, very glad to hear that red and blue runs in your veins now Drunkn.

Good luck to Casey today, I think Jack will have limited game time, that is why he is playing ar Casey.

Yeah well 35 years ago things were very different, worse thing was that it was a practice match that didn't have an official umpire!

Instead of bloody repeat after repeat of panel shows, I would prefer to see VFL matches broadcast on our dedicated football channel.

JV should get around 70% game time today and hopefully be cherry ripe to come in next week to tear the blues apart.

Used to be known as Reservoir Parkside when I played in that comp. Len Fellows was their most well known player, all 6'7" of him. We played them once on a ground that had a slope and had a gravel area in the middle. That was in the junior comp, not the Metropolitan league.

Preston, Reservoir area was as tough as in those days, the Preston Town Hall dance on a Saturday night was like Festival Hall, there were so many fights and you would have to be crazy to go near the railway station after the dance.

Bianca Jakobsson spoke at the before game function (she’s out injured at the moment) damn she is pretty in person

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Hawthorn too strong in the end, were dominant after half time and Sue “Tex” Perkins was too powerful up forward.

Hawks beat Casey 4-7-31 to 3-6-24 in Round 1 of the VFLW season

One a side note, in the past a women’s game before the VFL has tended to tear the ground up but Casey Fields is looking a treat. Id put that down to a higher skilled women’s game, not scrappy and tearing the grounds up the guts like it did in the past

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Casey are looking very powerful before the game. Both the emergencies in Hunt and Garlett are playing, not to forget Jack Viney. Plus all the other Melbourne listed players. This should be a great game to watch.

Great start to the game with Viney getting the first cleanrence and JKH kicking the first goal thanks to a beauty of a kick from Mitch White

[KC from Casey 7,211]

Jack Viney gets the first disposal and JKH finishes with a goal.
