Thank you for that. Why is it that the  AFL/VFL persist with this one round at a time release? I know it is to keep us all paying attention but I find it extremely frustrating. Publish the lot please!

    A MFC volunteer told me that the practice match out at Casey will be curtain raised by the VFL, Casey versus Richmond. Maybe a start just after 12 midday.

    AFL, Saturday March 4th, Melbourne v Richmond, Casey Fields, 4.10pm

    One token round is it ? Tricky Gil appears to be still floating about.

    Cant ask them to work too hard and get the draw out before March.

    Does Casey have a reserve side or do the non selected players just go back to their local clubs

    Yep, beggars belief and in another example of how competent (not) the people are running the show, apparently we play W'bee on Sat 27 March. Any sort of cursory check would reveal it's meant to be May. Anyone can make a mistake and they both start with "M" so I wasn't going to be critical. However we're listed to play Collingwood on Sat. 11 June, problem is 11 June is a Sunday. Doesn't anyone at AFL house know how to read a calender!

    The May one could easily be a typo snd it's well known we play aPies on the Sunday at Casey  as in the last few years. 
    Also it's prob not the AFL getting out this draw but the VFL and Smithy's  fault.

    Mickey Mouse  enough for our Casey Dees ( About 14/15 Dees players involved ) to be PREMIERS.  
    Do you really know how hard it is to Run a competition over 3 states  with 21 Teams?  
    Served us well last year as a training ground and will give us our next Full forward for the next 10 years. Provides football for all our players as well.

    And we don’t play Richmond what gives! It’s a joke really. At least I get to go to windy hill and coburg.

    The point I was making is that it's not a competition league.

    It's a training device.... don't confuse that with a genuine competition

    The inclusion of the interstate teams was to aid their training but by doing so it marked the end of what was a flawed but reasonable competition

    It might be called VFL but it's run by the AFL. Do you really think the Major sponsor of the comp actually does the fixture? If it's well known we play the Pies on the Sunday then why the mistake? My original comment is not about the person that made the mistakes. It's about the incompetence of management that doesn't have processes in place to check things. I guess a lot of people don't proof read these days do they?

    Three of them within an 8 week period at the back end of the year - good luck trying to keep players fit on the fringes of the team.

    Ask our Premiership VFL players if they don't floor you before they answer you! 

    Yes WAFL and SANFL May be better organised but VFL would still rate above those comps, even with the byes. 

    You may not realise that AFL have 2 byes per team and very little criticism there. 

    BTW Have you seen any matches recently ? 
    Last years VFL Dees Finals ?

    No I am guilty of not proofing my posts regularly but the KB weekend match is well known and always on TV!

    The other is easily identified and only ONE letter a R for aY. 

    I have never met a group of fusspots as the D/L core of VFL trajics and critics.

    Items such as fixtures, byes, eligibility, times of day and prob the most important alignment with the corresponding AFL match that weekend.

    It also appears you only read half a post before launching into defence mode. I don't think I'm a fusspot, holier than thou, pedantic and a believer in paying attention to detail, yes. I tend not to suffer fools gladly either. What can I say, I'm a flawed human being.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
