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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
