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

Anyway/anywhere to stream this game online?

Never been more excited for a Case practice match then today.

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.

Won’t be expecting much from Weed and sideshow in this weather

[Slartibartfast 17,624]

Pouring with rain here. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Well the weather has ruined everything.  Shocking conditions for the big forwards.

 

[DubDee 26,117]

When Ben Brown’s hair gets full of water does that slow him down??

[DubDee 26,117]

If anyone has the Twitter would they please post some Twitts?

thank you

Often.

[hells bells 2,023]

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 

3 3 21 to zero 

 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

BBB is everywhere...  kicked  1.2 already it sounds like

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

Go Casey and Big Benny Brown

[hells bells 2,023]

B Brown, Weed and M Brown all forward

[hells bells 2,023]

Laurie and Bowie half back. Petty, D Smith and JSmith in defence.

[hells bells 2,023]

Daw and Bradtke taking turns in ruck.

[hells bells 2,023]

Boys are going hard. Plenty of hard hits and tackles both sides

[hells bells 2,023]

1/4 time 3 4 22 to 1 1 7

Casey had all momentum till about the last 5 mins where Willy got a bit on top.

[MadAsHell 4,215]

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!
