Brad Green on a very good interview with The Deebrief was very positive about Caulfield and dismissive of The Age article re funding etc. “I shake my head & wonder where they get their info from”. (Paraphrasing). It was an informative..balanced & positive interview . All our resident doomsayers will cast aspersions but it’s worth a listen.

    i was quite disappointed with the question i and many others asked re goal kicking- can we get a specialist goal kicking coach? or is someone helping the players or even himself, said no to both because apparently the players don't want to listen too many coaches at once???? one positive I took from the interview that he agrees turner is a natural defender and should stay down there, thank god someone from the club agrees with me on this and it being the boss man

    1/10th the price and utterly useless for a club with afl, aflw, vfl, and vflw teams to manage

    Exactly why hawks have worked for the last 15 years to get out of the joint

    The saying "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind

    The saying "who gives a [censored] about vflw" also comes to mind

    The Gov .. all of them, love gambling, love tobacco, love alcohol.

    Only have to judge by actions ( inaction ) and all that taxation revenue.

    Very naughty of the fun police going around pointing guns at heads making people do these incorrigible things. Bastards !!

    Is VFL and VFLW even part of the MFC? I've lost track over the years, did we officially take over Casey (I guess when they changed from Scorpions (?) to Demons??)

    Yes they did.

    But they created Revenue for the Club and they were never illegal, so unless we could find another stream of income, i was always suprised we got rid of them so quickly

    I think the AFL told Clubs to do so

    Crown fed the entire South Melbourne precinct with investment. Without it, it might still be a wasteland. Love or hate gambling and the casino, it has transformed our city for the better.

    Disagree

    Before the Casino rolled in i felt safe walking the streets of the CBD 24/7..

    I worked a lot of nights so would often go into Melbourne at 3-4am for a few nightcaps.

    Very soon after Crown went in that all changed…

    i might suggest that this is correlation and not causation. although i do agree with you re casino. a more soulless place doesnt exist.

    It almost happened overnight

    Asian Big time Gamblers and that’s when the knives started appearing on the streets

    I walked the CBD for years before Crown went in

    Dance Parties in warehouses people didn’t know even existed, Crown changed the whole landscape

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the 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.
