    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
