    Hasnt stopped a myriad of D/Lers having a winge about info re Casey 

    Wonder how many went to the link on our website? 
     

    BTW on the "All the Goals" there was a few at the game down the southern end 

    Who said it was a closed event? 
    If it was posted somewhere their needs to be followed up for the future by the Casey Fanstics!!!!
     

    My suspicion is they may have been friends and / or relatives.

    Well from that I got one big thing.

    If we don’t starting winning consistently and playing finals every year we will sink into the abyss.

    The majority of future earnings will come from winning more games, higher membership and higher sponsor fees. 
    ps I doubt Williams will be with us more than this season.

    That's what it all comes down to. All the marketing in the world can't put bums on seats if you aren't consistently winning and making finals.

    Great podcast fellas.  Thank you!

    The following observations from Perty were the highlights for me:  

    -  over the break, he has seen a major step-up in player maturity and leadership from the likes of May, Lever, Petracca, ANB and others, who have taken it upon themselves to 'drive standards';

    -  in the context that consistent skill execution has been an obvious weakness, improving this area has been a key focus of the off-season;

    -  Adem Yze is very comfortable 'pushing back' against Goody and the other coaches, where he has an alternate view or opinion;

    -  Choco has been more than prepared to make players 'uncomfortable' if they don't measure up to the high standards which he expects;

    -  Goody is really enjoying the energy, ideas and IP provided by the new members of the coaching group.

    If all of this translates to game days, we have an exciting season to look forward to.  Bring it on!!

    I also get the feeling we won't be able to keep Burgess from wanting to go back to his family in SA.

    Sorry I meant Burgess.

    It's a bit frustrating - of course wins will translate into memberships and bums on seats, but what strategies do they have to capitalise on any success or expand our demographic? What strategies do they have to tap into new markets (ie migrant communities) or strengthening our ties to the Casey area? Players doing sessions at local schools is fine but I don't think it's going to cut the mustard.

    And since 10 teams don't make the 8 then you have to be prepared for a "bad year' about 50% of the time. 

    We lost $2.8M from gaming revenue when COVID shut down those operations.  36,000 members only produced $7.5M in 2020.

    We need to increase our membership by 30% just to stay where we were. 

    All pigs are fuelled and ready to fly.

    I would definitely ask Gary Pert about our home base in the MCG precinct.

    I am also curious to see if we could re-try the Jolimont station option? I understand the East Melbourne residents want to walk their dogs but you would think a nearby football oval and a community centre with health and fitness facilities close by would be to their benefit?

    I would also ask if further arrangements are being made to try and get more support from the MCC? We basically helped make the MCG not just a cricket hub but a sporting hub. The MCC has grown very wealthy from VFL and AFL football and the MFC got thrown scraps. Why not help us become successful again? Both the MCC and the MFC would benefit from us becoming successful again. Plus, it would be nice to have a bit more support come our way and perhaps even get to train on the MCG more regularly again during winter?

    Why would anyone want another  football oval in historical public parkland.  The area is used for far more than walking dogs by local residents and visitors. As for community centre and private fitness centre. Rubbish proposal that should have been nothing more than a two minute thought bubble. Pathetic, ignorant plan.

    27k at the G on Saturday ? After a year and a half without live football it looks like our supporter base can hardly contain their apathy.

    Thanks for that. I've actually read that before. 

    I would however say (respectfully) that I'm not sure it would be relevant in any way to our sponsorship by Red Bull.

    The runaway criminal is nothing but a silver spooner. Zero to do with red bull other than living large off the hard work of others.

    I agree, anything sub-30k and the AFL would be looking at us and asking serious questions. Somewhere around 40k should be the expectation.

    Yeah, then we could ask him why he decided to get rid of the pokie venues and why he proposed a training facility around the MCG.

    Finally. We get to see Perts Master Plan.  

    Win games, make finals, that should take the pressure off finding a home base and fixing a long term financial future.

    And why not, that is how it has been for the past 57 years and others in his position have got away with it and still got their $$$ before running.

    Good interview 

    thanks Boys

    Pert said how it is. It is ALL about WINNING 

    He can only do so much if we don’t win games

    If we Win consistently we will get a home base. 
    if not, we get thrown scraps

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
