Anyone going down ?

Tempted but 70 minute drive and forecast 40 kph winds have put me off

Looking forward to reports from the more intrepid brigade

Might head down for 3 quarters then back home for the girls game. Make my mind up in the next 1/2 hour.

Petrol is quite expensive at the moment Mr Old ?

Sadly perhaps Rusty I live on the absolute other side of melbourne, to go the Casey I would need to stay overnight somewhere along the way. Only joking but it is a long trip, Willy on the other hand is about 30 minutes and a good ground when the wind is not blowing ( which is seldom the situation. )  I also enjoy watching footy away from the AFL you are so close to the action.

Hec i live borderline inner east and it's a long way for me OD.  Reminds me of driving to a holiday house retreat down Mornington way it takea that long.

The wind not blowing at either ground is a bit unusual but yes, Willy is a very exposed ground for sure so to be expected i guess.

I agree re getting closer to the action but last time i was at Casey i spent most of the time watching (chasing...as best an old fart can chase) my hat as it sailed off behind me every 10 min or so.

Seriously though, i also prefer the local (VFL) footy as well now.  Just seems more real and relatable.  And no massive lines to grab a burger, get out of car park etc.

Funny how things have turned Rusty. I know one reason I like it is that reminds me of my youth playing and watching country football. Going to AFL is hard work by comparison and it seems less commercialised if that is possible.

Ben Brown moving really well. Better than I thought he would at this stage.  Took an excellent 1 hand mark on the lead, kick fell short. Then roved a ground ball and his snap hit the post. 

Looks really good. 

M Brown just kicked a goal

Awesome, thanks man.  I will stop posting tweets now.

Go Casey and Big Benny Brown

Made a last minute decision to head along today and got here just as the match started. Two big things already stand out so far.

1. Shattered no bar or bacon and egg rolls for the practice match!

2. Ben Brown must play next week. Get him in!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
