    Mrs W and I are booked into the Miami Hotel in Nth Melb for that Friday. Easy walk down to Arden St and back. Although coming back we will have to stop in at the Three Crowns Hotel for a burger and a couple of beers.

    A match  vs Essendoon on Friday..  and playing the Crows the very next day?

    Something doesn't add up here.  Is the fixture on the club website wrong?

    When the practice match was announced, I remember reading that it would feature players that didn't play the following day against Adelaide. Basically, its the reserves players that will play against Essendon. How many that will end up being, I have no idea.

    My appt cancelled and I really cant justify driving over 60km to watch the Resies in a scratch match.  Shame, was looking forward to it.

    Soft! Over 400km for me to the G and back. I don't miss a match! (on the TV)  I still pay my membership donation every year.

    The first VFL game is not until round 3 of the AFL season. Interesting to see this match being scheduled.

    One hopes the bacon and egg rolls will be available !!

    I tend to doubt the egg and bacon rolls although there is a fair bit of work being done around the ground so there may be a few extras there to put the barbie on. Drove past there earlier today and car park seemed full.

    Happen to know if they are filming the 2 practice matches?

    No idea. Nothing has been announced yet but that doesn't mean they won't.

    I seriously doubt the Essendon match will be streamed as the game won't feature many Demons listed players.

    Arden Street game could be streamed like the Pies game last year but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

    Maybe it's time for Demonland to branch out into "Demonland TV", and stream our own telecast live on DL.  We could even drag Sandy Roberts out of retirement to do the commentary for us!  Good idea, Andy?  (Thought you'd like it!)

    With Essendon's massive supporter base perhaps they will stream the game. Fingers crossed.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      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.
