    Annoyed this game is on at the same time as the seniors. Live nearby and would have gone. Great ground on the rare occasions it is not blowing a game.

    I played cricket there, 1967, sub-district seconds. Big ground...

    Magnificent site for footy on a nice day.

    Fish and chips on the Esplanade and a short walk to the ground.

    The site of ships sailing past the outer wing has to be seen to be appreciated.

    When I was fielding at fine leg - I returned that ball over the bails effortlessly - I imagined I was Captain Shultz in the U boat picking off those wealthy yachties...

    I am still to make a decision about which game to attend.

    Depending on who ends up in the team I could go to this game.

    More to learn at this game about our chances in 2020 than attending the G.

    Decision time will be tonight when the teams are announced.

    Know how you feel but I think I will still manage to get a whole section of the AFL members to myself for this one so I'll head along to the G.

    Weather on Saturday could be a bit wild and woolly.

    Think it is Sunday DJ but you are correct the weather looks poor and that means it will be terrible at willy. Could be the deciding factor as poor weather at willy is like the visiting the south pole. Noticed the MFC are giving away tickets for the G match. Must be expecting a big crowd!!!!!!

    sorry.. I did mean Sunday but had a senior moment :(

    I still have flashbacks to GWS' first win at the MCG which was of course against us in a game that we were expected to win easily.

    They hired  a cheersquad which consisted of four or five guys dressed in orange banana suits.

    That day GWS just ran rings around us with outside run after a good first quarter by MFC IIRC. I fear that Sunday could be the same.

    Forecast Westerly wind,  'OD'  & bm'r,  so Pt Gellibrand at least won't so cold as it otherwise might have.

    Won't matter, I have played Footy and Cricket there and in Summer it is a good a place as any to play. I swear by the fact that if the tide was coming in the ball always did more than when it was out! Took some good Wkts there!

    In Winter I played 1 game of footy there on a shizzen day, a  south wester with rain coming in sideways. 

    I reckon I was close to Hypothermic and therefore Death by the end of the first quarter. Picture this 18 blokes at half time in the showers trying to get warm still in footy gear!!!

    If it rains there it is ALWAYS Shizzen!!

    At least the game is on Sunday which gives selectors flexibility and Casey some options

    Ummm

    Harmes / Fritsch / Stretch named in Casey team ??? According to Instagram

     

    IMG-20190523-WA0012.jpg

    All the players named on the extended Melbourne bench get named at Casey, it’s just how it works. Harmes is very obviously not going to play there. Stretch and Fritsch might though.

    so Weideman, Spargo, Lewis and Preuss are playing for Casey.

    Some very solid inclusions...

    Williamstown are sixth on the VFL ladder as against Casey who are ninth so it could be a good game weather permitting.

    What’s the odds Lewis playing for Casey. About 30% likely imo. 

    The club site suggests they want him to paly in the 2s to regain form after an interrupted season.  A good sign for mine.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
