Went through the draw again and noticed we only have 5 Sunday games (not including the Round 23 lottery)

Surely this has to be the least amount of games on this day we have had in years?

I for one cannot stand Sunday games so this is a good development.

I have no problem with Sunday games. Would rather those than Thursday and Saturday nights.

I wish all our games were Friday night and we win and I can enjoy the weekend.

Other than that my preference is Saturday day, Saturday night, Sunday 1pm. Hated the Sunday 4:40pm slots.

I have no opinion of Thursday night but have no problem with them as long as we have a sufficient break prior to it.

Well from a selfish point of view I didn't mind them so much and I could play golf on Saturday without rushing. That didn't help my score much.

Your right though and without so many "graveyard" times (3:20) we may get more families coming along.

One man's graveyard is another man's pleasure dome. I quite like the 3.20 slot but dislike the 1.10 pm start as it takes out the whole day. And I still don't like Thursday nights (with the exception of the Thursday before Good Friday and Anzac Eve, should it fall on a Thursday).

For families, Sunday 4.40pm and night games are a stinker. 

Also for country folk who have a long journey home by car or rail.

Oh, I forgot, the scheduling is for TV, streaming and those sports fans with their wide screen, high definition, radiation emitting screens.

Glad you realised who pays the bills and calls the tune  Ernest. For a while there I thought you imagined the AFL had spectators intetests at front of mind.

Good thing I saw this coming in advance and rebranded the site in mid-2018.

No good for my actual life, 1.10 games are my favourite.

Friday night wins are the best! I get to spend the whole weekend thinking and talking about how good we are.

If we lose on Friday night then I take all of Saturday to remain [censored] off but am over it enough on Sunday to enjoy the last of my weekend.

Losing on a Sunday with work incoming on the Monday is a real downer and I dont know how my family put up with me to be honest.

And Sunday games make it impossible for anyone from WA to come over for games for the weekend, especially with school age kids.

Just been filling in the organizer for next year and have been able to pencil in 4 Casey games on Sundays following Melb games.

Awesome!! Casey Sunday games at CF, PP, TBBO and VP.

Might need the flak jacket for Victoria Park!

It takes me 1½ hours to travel to the MCG from country Victoria by train. I like 1.10 starts as I don't get home too late.

I play club competition golf on Saturdays, so I like Sundays for football.

Each to his own I guess. Someone likes every time slot.

Wish I hadn't retired as a Firefighter, the gear would have come in handy.

I do remember accidentally head butting a guy with my helmet one night at a job in Smith St. pretty sure he was Filth supporter...well he was missing some teeth anyway.

The only aspect of a 'late' Sunday game that I enjoyed was if we had a big win, often jumping a couple of places higher on the ladder for that week (to start the coming week off in good or better status) when all the other teams in the comp had completed their offerings from the draw. It was particularly pleasing when we jumped over Port the Snort and the Belly Ache Crows, living here in Adelaide, surrounded by 'expert' comment and incestuous interest in the AFL. We did a bit of that leap-frogging last season; and by hell, it was bloody wonderful.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
