As long as there's no elephants being led around the ground, the fans and the players should be safe.

    Arden st. Still a dump I imagine but preferable to a three day trek to the wilds of Casey 

    Oval size hasn’t changed but a great little set up, they do have their own training facilities/oval and offices in one place.

    Favourite memories of Arden St? I was there with 6821 others when we fought back from a big 3/4 time deficit for a draw in R18 1971. John Tilbrook monster goal was instrumental IIRC. It's a long time ago ...

    Taste is a strange thing demonstone I actually liked Courage.

    That was the very first beer I ever tasted (back in the 60's)... at the old Mayfair Hotel in (was it?) Parkville or Carlton.

    I don't remember that one hardtack. But I lived in Bendigo until early 70's. Back then you had vic beers in vic and NSW beers in nsw etc. Courage Huang in for a long time and almost as soon as they left we all started drink all sorts of different beers from everywhere.

    Pity the North game is on a weekday. Arden St was one of my favourite away grounds back in the day, even though I have no good memories of the place in a football sense.

    Pity the Essendon games is not at windy hill, it's a ten minute drive for me.

    We must have lived close to each other at one stage Old Dee, I lived in The Esplanade Maribyrnong less than 10 minutes to windy hill

    Any word on whether the North game at Arden St will be streamed on the Official Website like they did with the Collingwood Scratch Match last year?

    Also I may as well as here - does anybody know if the official practice matches are streamed on the Watch AFL app for us Ex Pats?

    One day, a fire broke out in a food stall on the outer wing at Arden Street.  I think this may have been a televised match between North and Collingwood and the incident was captured on that night's TV replay.

    A wag in the crowd (OK, my brother) was heard to yell out "Hot Pies!".

    I was there that day. With a mate from school, who was a huge Nought Supporter. 
    big Crowd was in there. Lucky it didn’t escalate. 
    we thought it was hilarious at the time

Southwark in SA, then the ones you mentioned in WA. Was it  Hannans in kalgoorlie? 4 guys in their 20's. My god we drank some beer in 3 weeks.

    You obviously missed his game vs Kangas (North) when he kicked at least 3 I think with a couple in the last quarter to help us win.

    Sorry D Trump but your posts are very much like your namesake Either "fake news", inaccurate,  very personal or don't add Humour to the debate

    As per the article on page 1, "The Demons will draw on players not selected in the following day's Marsh Community Series match against Adelaide, which will also be played at Casey Fields"

    So in essence, the scratch match on the 21st Feb is the 2nds team and the match on the 22nd the Seniors team.

     Or vice versa, depending on what we want to achieve with each game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
