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'.

    Why wouldn't they be televised?  Have I missed something?

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
