    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
