CASEY: Rd 18 vs Footscray

[Bystander 903]

There is parking at ground carpark plus neighbouring streets.

Also, very close to train station.

[Fat Tony 5,291]

There’s a fair bit of young talent in the Casey side today. Turner, van Rooyen, Wowoedin, Bowey, Laurie and Howes returning.

After a week of sunny days I wake to rain. Looks like my visit to the Scray is off. Laptop will be the back up viewing. Pity as I was looking forward to going to the game. IMO there is no substitute for going to the footy.

Don't forget folks, it's West Footscray station, not Footscray.

I clearly remember the jubilation at the station and on the train after we won that game in 1987 to make the finals!

[Bystander 903]

I wouldn't worry about rain too much...if there is some, should be light. Radar looks optimistic.

Even Middle Footscray is really close if you're heading to the Vic for a pint first. Before they moved West Footscray station a few years back on a six carriage train when the back carriage left one the front carriage arrived in the other.

32 degrees,humid as hell and bright sunshine here in equatorial Asia.

Kayo have blocked my VPN so I look forward to my occasional VFL fix on the dodgy stream. I have 500Mbs up and down so it isn't my end methinks.

Not sure how much of the old Western Oval remains. It was always a bit of a concrete jungle. Wonder if they serve any notable culinary delights a la Port Melbourne with the Burra burger and the king sized dim sims.

Enjoy your day OD

[Demonstone 23,106]

I just drove past Whitten Oval and it looks as though we won't face much opposition today.

 

[layzie 34,146]

What a day to head out to Footscay! 

Not me though, will tune in.

Me too  pure elation.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

The game has started with conditions greasy under cloudy threatening skies. The Demons have made a few changes as a result of the withdrawal of Ben Brown and his replacement  with Sam Weideman. Toby Bedford and Adam Tomlinson have been held back for tonight’s game. for our Demons today – Riley Baldi, Bryce Milford and Aidan Quigley are the replacements.

Both teams are struggling to open the scoring with the Bulldogs favoured by the breeze.

And once again the afl site stream for this game does not work 

[Diamond_Jim 12,642]

Casey not impressing so far. Bulldogs much more fluid

[Demonstone 23,106]

Working fine for me, Sydee.

Should have been a walk in goal for JVR but delivery was not there

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Casey lead 2 - 1.

[layzie 34,146]

Whitten Oval sure has changed.

[layzie 34,146]

Got a good 3-1 buffer now

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Goal to Stefan Martin of the Dogs.

A good day for Ducks OD.... and i dont mean Disco 'Duck' Turner.

Also annoying that you can no longer livestream to chromecast (via TV) like previous seasons.
