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.

    LOL. Phenomenal. What on earth was that? The tune is familiar.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
