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.

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
