    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).

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
