I hate the way the VFL has been merged with the Reserves.

 

I fully agree with u. If the AFL had any brains they would provide some $$ to these stand alone clubs & help to maintain a high standard for a local 2nd tier comp.

    Tomorrow I get to watch the Demons Reserves (aka Casey) play a torpedo punt* from my home. But I'll feel like a goddamn traitor when my Coburg drinking buddies see me in red and blue. Any other week I support the Lions.

    Coburg Lions are really struggling this year. It's hard to compete against AFL clubs and professional athletes. 

    All Demon fans going to Coburg, please eat as many snags and chips as you can, and drink the Coburg Lager. Help keep the Lions viable. 

    * I'm probably talking 5 x Malcolm Blight torps if I'm honest

    Played a few half time games there in under 13 during the the VFAs great days in the 60s

    Even got on the TV once

    I agree that a once great club is being reduced to a gap filler role in this stupid version of VFL

    First time visitor to Coburg’s ground to see BG’s Casey debut. I wonder if he’ll get a Gatorade shower if we win?

    On my way to game, and realise from The Red Fox that it’s the ground we were at for the weekend after Norm was sacked - the only time Melbourne played at North’s then home ground. Ominously it was round 13, and we were well beaten in front of 8,312 hardy fans. 

    We did at least salvage a League record out of the rubble of that round, and one unlikely to be beaten: temporary coach Checker Hughes was the oldest person then to have coached an AFL team, and remains so at 71 years, 148 days. Dunno whether that qualifies for the “embarrassing records” thread or not, but it is what it is.

    Coming out of the side are Bailey Laurie and Joel Smith - you would assume one of them will be the sub for Melbourne tomorrow.

    How windy is it? It sounds windy on TV and some of the set shots have been terrible.

    Casey dominating but wasting opportunities in front of goal. 
    It’s giving PTSD. 
     

    Edit: is Rigoni playing for Coburg related?

    The biggest drawback is the fact that the clubs don’t play each other once during the season. In Casey’s case, that means they miss out on a couple of potentially easy games against Northern Bullants and Porr Melbourne. Fingers crossed that they’re in a winning frame for the rest of the season.

    Don't fire me up again re this dog's dinner of a 'support competition' for the biggest competition in the country.

    Bring it back to Victoria, and make up / drop to an even number of teams.  The other states have secondary competitions so why should part time players in Victoria (plumbers, sparkies, tradies etc) have to travel interstate, sometimes on weekdays, to prop up a comp so that the interstate teams can play VFL teams?  

    Nothing fair about the "draw" aka schedule, even worse than AFL, and limited opportunities due to byes for emerging / returning players to gain form and show their wares.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
