Yippee... a trip to WA in February

what a pleasure 

At least we will be ready for the wind at Casey the following week, 4.10 at Fremantle oval the Freo Doctor will be well and truly in

 

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.

lol off to Perth already

Great result for us WA members. 
 

It’ll be 49 Celsius and I’ll be drinking $16 mid-strength beers from plastic cups. 
 

What a crock... not even the real season and already shafted with a trip to WA. Typical. 

We'll play anyone, anywhere*, at any time.  Bring it on.  

*  May not apply to Cairns.

Livin' the dream!


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!!

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).

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.

I bet you're right.......

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
