    Not really a fan of driving to Casey but willing to leave on the Friday before the North game  just to beat all of you there. They will let us in, yeah?

    Pity that second game isn't at Arden St again. Leave work at lunch time, a short train ride to the ground then another short train ride home again. So civilised.

    my guess is 5k maximum

    There's very few seats at Casey so it will be social distancing on the grass.

    The advantage of it being the second round is that we will get the chance to see what happens the week before

    What a ripper the game is at Casey, nice little 15 minute drive, easy peasy.

    That game was just before COVID really started to hit.

    Who could’ve predicted that it would be the last game one could attend in VIC.

    people complaining about travel in the presason.  gold ?

    you know the WA clubs do it every second week right?

     

    in other news, there are practice matches in 2 months time!  get on your (literal) bike lads!!

  • Quote

    Yeah, so AFL complaining about travel costs, yet scheduling  preseason games completely obvious to this agenda = typical.

    Against MFC = easy target = typical.

    What have we come to expect.

     

    What our Demons need to become accustomed to is that we are favoured by no-one, loathed by and feared by everyone.

    Hopefully the pre season trip to Freo will mean we have 1 less trip in the regular season to Perth. Looking forward to seeing how Freo go without Hogan and how the Bulldogs go with Treloar.

    Doubt it.

    Knowing our luck we'll back in Perth for round 1 to face Freo and then round 4 to face West Coast - both in the middle of a scorching late March/early April Perth afternoon.

    Not sure how clubs in any professional sport can stump up the motivation to fly 4 hours across the country for a meaningless trial match - but it is what it is.

    I feel for Geelong. They're making their big road trip to Moorabbin.

    So, a community series where clubs play their home game away from the mainstream ovals, yet Geelong plays theirs at GMHBA Stadium?

    (*only other team that are playing their home.game at home is the Gold Coast).

  • Quote

    MFCSS suggests we will play in this first game in Perth, back to Arden St, a week off, Round 1 in Perth, Round 2 at Kardinia Park, second wave of COVID and off to Broome to Hub and play the remaining 18 games in the desert.

    Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
