I love the hyperbole on here. If you listened to some, basically all of our listed players are either sub-standard, shocking, not up to it, past it, overpaid, overhyped, too slow, etc, etc, etc. That

So happy to read this from the coach about Sam: “All credit to him – he was given a different role during the week and to come out and impact the game that way, he had 10 hit-outs to advantage,

You have Rosman in. I see he has to undergo test. Or has he passed test.?

Casey chances won't be helped if McDonald plays limited minutes. Likely ?

Even 3 quarters of Macca will be very handy IMV.  Fingers crossed he gets through nicely.  Has bulked up a little

I have Rosman in he has a test but I'm backing him in like I'm backing McDonald in. I think while the seniors are still in action you can play whoever you want. I don't have Bowey in because he played in  the seniors week before. I don't think you can go from seniors to reserves when the seniors aren't playing.

Kate Roffey has sent out an email about our club playing finals

.No mention that the Casey final is happening.
WTF ?

Thanks Kate and Gary !

Saw that a few hours ago and was going to comment albeit perhaps with less emotion.

The reality is that VFL crowds of any significance are loss making. Crowd control. additional toilets...the list goes on for very little revenue.

Nevertheless get along and enjoy a great day out. Take a folding chair or a picnic rug, take the kids enjoy the grass verges and most importantly breathe it in as you walk the oval in the breaks

Will Casey pick it’s best 22+1? Or will MFC listed players get preference? Could any Melbourne players not get selected?

It's an AFL training team so I think MFC players are safe

The problem is usually the other way in that when the AFL team ceases to play many of the MFC players are retired for the season

Only reason is they they are ineligible to play and deserve to go on leave!!!! Not a bad reason DJ.

We are into the big stuff now the finals. Casey finish 1st but lost their one and only loss to second placed Brisbane. Sydney finished the home and away season 4th after belting Box Hill by 57 points.

The game is on Saturday at 1:05 pm at Casey Fields.

 

Possible team

B: D.Smith, Turner, McVee

HB: Rosman, Tomlinson, Baker

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Bedford, Joel.Smith, Chandler

F: M.Brown, McDonald, van Rooyen

FOLL: Weideman, Jordon, Laurie

IC: White, Munro, Buntine, Bell, Valentine

 

My prediction is Casey by 20 points.

 

That's some forward potency for a VFL team!

EXCLUSIVE: Sydney team leaving Sydney airport as we speak.

Can confirm that they are flying Virgin and one player of indeterminate name ordered a coffee to be made far too late to accompany his teammates to the gate.

Huge if true.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
