This is now confirmed. Practice match on Sunday, February 18th vs Richmond at Casey Fields. Start time yet to be decided.

The Demon Army will be putting on a sausage sizzle and we’re thinking it will be a good turnout since this is one of a couple of events this preseason that are essentially in place of a traditional Family Day, and because Richmond fans will no doubt turn up. This will be an important opportunity for us to raise some much-needed funds, too. Those giant heads don’t grow on trees, y’ know. Well, they’re made of paper so I guess they actually do grow on trees but y’all know what I mean. 😁

We need to outnumber the Tigers fans, so please try to come and support our beloved Dees. Let’s make this a wonderful prelude to season 2024!

GO DEES!!!

Good work WCW

Do you know why there was no traditional family day this year? It was a great event last year i thought. I would definitely have brought the kids along this year again.

  • Demonland changed the title to PRACTICE MATCH: Sunday February 18th 2024 @ Casey Fields
 

We attended the family day out at Casey fields last year and had a great day and it was well attended, should be huge with the Tiges supporters there as well.!!

Maybe because our preseason is effectively a week shorter ? 

That’s the reason. Our first match is two weeks earlier than in previous seasons, yet we still have two practice matches scheduled. Instead of a Family Day, we’re having a sausage sizzle, activities for kids etc. at both practice matches. The aspect of Family Day that appeals to many, ie. getting pics with and autographs from players, is something the Club will decide. And whereas we know the practice match vs Carlton at Ikon is a ticketed event, we’ve not yet been told if the same applies at the vs Richmond at Casey match. 


Disappiontingly, will be in Apollo Bay at this time, and would have looked forward to two double snag delights with onions and that special recipe WCW Sauce! Made to a recipe, not just a price🤩

But never fear..... I should be out and about in slthera land this Monday, I hope!

The real question @WalkingCivilWar

Will there be Cupcakes in the DA tent?

I hope so!!! How good are those cupcakes?! I’m pretty sure they’ll be on offer at both practice matches. 😋

Also, @picket fence… I’m always “Till B!ttch” at our BBQs. I’ve only been on cooking duties once and never will be allowed again since it seems not many folks like their snags well-done, and by well-done I meant burnt beyond recognition. Go figure 🤷‍♀️

I did cooking duties at the original(?) Gosch's and QB Fed Sq barbies.

Pressure!

Interesting that it is against Richmond where they have Yze as Coach and we have McQualter in our den. Should make for an interesting fight.

[censored] I'd love to go and watch, sounds like a good way to spend a Sunday, but Casey Fields is such a pain in the backside to get too... hope we get to see plenty of our new names running around and get given some real game time.


I've never been out to Casey, but planning to go watch the practice match.

Keen to get people's thoughts on if it is better to train out there or drive and park?

Defs drive there. The carpark is big and it’s right next to the ground.

… Especially at 10am on a Sunday (PT timetable). I have to be there at 8:30am. Good times. 😃

Why so early? Is there a banner for practice games or will there be a BBQ?

A BBQ. It takes a while to set up and we wanna be ready for the first wave of people since this is an opportunity to raise funds (in the absence of an official Family Day).  But a banner for practice games would be funny 😆 

I got super excited this weekend when I realised our first hit out is only two weeks away!

It’ll be here before we know it, Stu!

Seven quarters where we’ll get to see everyone in action.

Recent history says Richmond supporters will turn up in big numbers.

So we need as many of our supporters as possible to attend! Yes folks can watch it at home on Kayo, but our players can’t see/hear them. If you ask our boys (and girls), they’ll tell you it makes a world of difference when they know we’re there, and I know because I’ve asked them, of course I’ve asked them. 😅

The live stream   is it only on Kayo or can i watch it on the MFC/AFL website ?

Don't have Kayo  poor self funded retiree, don't get a pension,  and hours west of melbourne, Get nuthin from Labor or Liberal. still working.

My darling and myself arch typical Baby Boomers / DINKS

can I watch it for nuthing.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
