    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
