Requesting Casey Home Games

If we're not going to be playing games in front of crowds and watching them on the telly, do you think we should request that we play some home games down at Casey? Perhaps against the interstate teams. Maybe Geelong to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Maybe I've been in lockdown for too long.

Stay safe Demon Fans.

    Excellent idea. I will stand outside the fence and watch.

    100% agreed, games at Casey and in Tassie are always terrible to watch because of this.

    MCG or Marvel are both fine.

    Surely we can train to master this. Not the worst idea going around.

    I think in the current state I would rather watch a good game and lose than watch a boring game and win.

    Won't happen. Caro said last night that games need to be played at MCC or Docklands because of LCD signage/stadia advertising - keeping any revenue stream they can afloat.

    not to mention the need for a properly fenced stadium to keep the crowds out.

    Wont be seeing games at any venue like Casey.

    Casey ground could do with a decent long term tree planting scheme. The grass verges behind the goals are pleasant (albeit no shade or wind protection) but the rest of the ground is pedestrian to say the least.

    Also opposition won't have that 3rd leg they grow, when playing at the 'G'.

    They'll be televised. The OP is just suggesting that as crowds won't be in there perhaps we could gain a home ground advantage by playing them at Casey. I like the creative thinking but I went to the game preseason vs Adelaide and you could tell the skills were severely hampered by the windy conditions.

    As someone else pointed out as well, at least the signage will provide some kind of sponsorship income for the clubs.

    On that score we could actually make more money playing at Casey as we would have a clean stadium unlike the MCG where the bulk of the ground advertising goes to the MCC.

    This is why Geelong do so well out of their Kardinia Park deal and there were such heated negotiations over the new Perth stadium.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
