Thanks. 

The AFL website have quoted a bunch of practice matches around Feb 25 or 26.

I would say it’s almost certain this match won’t be tomorrow.

And crowds likely won’t be invited.

Prefer when they trained at Goschs. Casey might be better for the players but it is crap for us spectators. The MFC gives us noting on their site. Oh well I have been waiting 56 years so what is a few weeks.


I ventured out to Casey this afternoon and not even a dormouse was seen!

However the impression about a prac game today at Casey between Tigers and Dees gained any traction staggers me.

Clearly the dates of Feb 25 or 26 were listed ( and are still) so how come this mythical practice event warranted  even Comment that it got is also surprising.

It's  the same Bleating snd constant posting about Casey Fields training and lack of Club website reporting since Jan or even late 2020.

Access to Casey Fields is vital ( especially now with snakes around) but not one rep. From D/L has apparently to my knowledge spoken or contacted the Club  Ie CEO, or Footy  Dept about Possible access or importance of that role for our group to provide reports due to the tyranny of distance.

This in no way reflects on the varied and comprehensive contributions that we have greatly appreciated on occasions

We do tend to believe our posters and this practice match is a prime example. Did anyone ring the Club for verification??

Amazingly the doyen of our training reports of Previous years has either gone troppo or can't find his  pen Or car keys  to update Us. Has he retired? Can he approach the Club about ground access With his alleged contacts or has he retired? Or Is Casey below his dignity! Or is it so Covid related that the Council have ruled out restricted  and safe access totally!! BTW hope he is in good health.
We Are at times are our Own worst enemies believing the universe begins here and Are Often left with egg ( and mayonnaise) on our pens and faces to our detriment.
Back to the real D/L infoline or the hotline to the Club might be better value.

I'm pretty certain that Saty (I assume that's who you are referring to), doesn't drive a car, but apart from that, given the amount of flack he cops from others on this site, I can't say I'd blame him if he had retired his keyboard... I noticed in another topic on this board today, that he even comes under fire from certain posters for his non-footy related tweets.  People really should give it a rest!

Speculation this game could be played on Friday at Casey Fields according to the Richmond Bigfooty board.

No further details as yet.

Please MFC do a live stream!

Richmond are playing Collingwood on Friday 5 March so I doubt we'll be playing Richmond this weekend. Will be more likely Friday or Thursday.

Looks like all the TBC are on Friday, but the details are not known yet.

Have it on good authority it will be Friday at Casey. Closed session.

what's the logic there? the 5th of March is still 5-6 days away from a possible Saturday/sunday game and teams can play whichever players they want for any amount of game time for rest purposes so I don't think the logic is right in this instance.

Good enough for me. Hoping to hear more before then.

Given Richmond and Melbourne can choose whichever day they want to play, I doubt very much whether Richmond would voluntarily impose a 5--6 day break on themselves as opposed to giving themselves a proper 7 day break if they play this scratch match game on Friday.

I wonder if both clubs will kick up a fuss if they see people watching behind the fence?

And hopefully they'll do a stream of the game.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
