    Great Stuff GTG :) 

    - red circle is likely the only gate open for ground access
    - yellow circles are the two dedicated parking bays
    - green circle is likely the “primary” part of the ground for spectators/fans
    i.e. it does not sound like the big grandstand section of the facility is open for fans to mingle
    - not sure how accessible players will be for photos and signatures but we hold hope they will be more than willing to as I suspect there will be a good turn out for a Casey Fields training session!

    BYO food, drink etc. No shops close by.

    Cheers

    Hoping to pop in for a few mins.

    Anyone know if Friday is more of a match sim/practice session or a craft session.

    And more importantly will the Demon Army be putting on a sausage sizzle to keep the kids (and parents!) happy?

    Jefferson, Sparrow, Salem and AMW in rehab. 

    Left Melbourne in a breeze and arrived at a cold and wind ravaged Casey.

    Got here late. Watching players warm up including umpires. Likely a match sim. Coaches going nuts with whistles. A few errant kicks otherwise pretty clean.

    Sparrow doing warm up drills. Correction, someone wearing Tommy’s number, doesn’t look like Tom.

    If anyone can find out what's up with Jefferson, that would be great. Bit concerning he's been in rehab for a number of weeks now.

    Choco had a crack at the umps in some tackling drills telling them to pay frees as they see fit. “ we are paying you guys to pay em” he yells.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
