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!

    Fingers crossed the Casey Demons get to play on Fankhauser Reserve this season.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
