They had former AFL player playing in their side if that's what you mean??

Thanks.  I was thinking current AFL players.  The Bullants team is very depleted after Carlton pulled the pin on them last year.

It makes a bit of a mockery of the AFL when some clubs are AFL affiliates and some aren't eg Bullants and Frankston. While not affiliated Port seem to hold their own.

    Petty and Bedford did well again for Casey.

    Tomlinson had a good game against Freo though so I doubt we will see Petty vs the Saints.  Bedford will with any luck force ANB or Jones out of the team soon.

    Not surprised one bit. The Casey/Melbourne media department in keeping fans Informed around this stuff is an absolute debacle. I've seen country footy clubs post far more better content on their social media then our [censored] club.

     

    The coverage is an embarassment for the Club. We are vitally interested in the performances and the efforts of Casey players, senior and VFL, gaining insights into present and future options for the AFL team (and the MFC as a whole) to achieve success and competitiveness. 

    Our Club must address this deficit immediately, all season, all matches. There are no excuses for this oversight.

    Whats wrong with having news items about the women's team? 

     Nothing. Just need to have their own website instead of it being a jumbled mess mixing the mens and womens teams all together on the official site.

    Fully agree DM.  This is the sort of detail Pert & co should be on top of if they want to build up the Club & memberships.  There has been bu**er all information about the Casey practice games or their results in a timely fashion - p!ss poor by the Club.

    agree but is there a forward spot perhaps?

    Maybe but who comes out and will we be to top heavy with T Mac, Jacko and Petty.  The changes will be interesting.   Viney comes in for Sparrow I’d say but I can’t see many other changes.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the report but it was almost useless. Who were the best players? Who did well? Where did Melbourne listed players play and how did each of them play?

    Yes, pretty disappointing. Understand the lack of interest and response if it was a bunch of Casey kids playing, but the side included our AFL vice captain,  two of our four most experienced AFL players and all of our 2020 draftees. The game was pretty significant in the context of our season.

    Teams don’t need affiliations to be strong, but they do need experienced VFL players and ideally ex AFL players. Port always have plenty of both of those. 

    From what I can see NB have Paul Ahern and Kieran Collins as former AFL players. Unless they’ve got a few more up their sleeve they might be more like the Frankston and Coburg’s than the Willy and Ports. Which is a shame. 

    I still don’t understand how Carlton are saving money by splitting the alliance. Seems to me it will cost them the same amount and they won’t have the existing additional supporter and volunteer base (no matter how small).

    doubt it was about money. bound to be a disagreement between both parties on player management and development.

    carlton probably wanted it all there way, whilst nb wanted to pick best side on merit and play players in best position to win games

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
