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!

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
