I've been hard on Melksham but he's getting rewarded for form in the VFL.

He'll add much more then what Spargo and Jordon have of recent.

Has @WalkingCivilWar made the trip? Saw some Demon Army people there at the ground yesterday.

I’ve not. Would need to have robbed a bank in order to go, and robbing banks is so 1980s.

There aren’t many from the DA there this year but those who are will bring the noise just as loudly as we do every match.

Happy to report the giant Harmesy graphic made it to the ground last night having spent a worryingly long time on the tarmac at whatever airport. It was flown separately due to time constraints.

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!!

❤️💙

Fair point. So much for the Petty experiment.

[leave it to deever 16,700]

Not Many there.

I wouldn't either.  Shocking weather 

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,110]

All of about 100 people there. Surely it’s time for a rethink on this game. I’d rather sell it elsewhere if we have to

We get the money even if no one turns up, and it's all about the money.

A lot of the crowd are, I think bussed in from surrounding areas. I assume the weather warnings put a stop to that this year

[YearOfTheDees 3,152]

Though we were going to wear our indigenous jumper today.

This is my least favourite game day of the year. All I can think is that I would be there if the game was in Melbourne, and how much I love live footy.

We'll agree to disagree Bin

Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

Def agree to disagree on tank - no chance bowey had the tank or high cruising speed of nibbler - an ability that is fundamental to the role.

They are completely different types of athletes.

And for context, unlike nibbler  who never comes out of the side, bowey was dropped for a big chunk of last season and has played at Casey tgis year too. Whilst nibbler 

But leaving that aside, it makes little sense to take Bowey away from his best position as a distributor of half back and make him a high half forward, a role he has never played.

And even less sense to take nibbler away from a specialist role he has trained and played in over three seasons and made his own to such a high level he is a clear best 22 lock. 

I mean a few years back, they  encouraged him to look at other clubs. He stayed, and has played so well in that position that the club put him in the leadership group and resigned him on a new contract.

I can't see how today's game is possibly of any financial gain vs having the game at the MCG. There must be 2k people there. If that. The cost to get there. Accommodation. I really can't wait until we stop doing this.

[The heart beats true 16,755]

More at Casey today?

[WalkingCivilWar 35,423]

Ugh I’d forgotten how depressing it is to watch us play on TV at home.

 

[YearOfTheDees 3,152]

hope they clean up that camera.

[layzie 30,511]

Big time effort coming up

It could be minus 7 degrees and I’d be there. ☹️

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,475]

Carn Dees!!

[layzie 30,511]

It's gonna be one of these types of games. Hopefully we've learnt how to play wet 

[BDA 20,895]

how did fritschy miss that

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Fritsch undoing the great work by Ben Brown, ouch.

[leave it to deever 16,700]

This is going to be a big slog of a game
