Let’s keep the thread on topic folks. No derailments. Footy is nigh.

Don’t forget to buy a snag from @WalkingCivilWar at the Demon Army BBQ to support the cheersquad. 

Mention Demonland to get 0% off. 

Just don't ask for a chicken burger.

    I am not too sure how many will be out but the following is my stab at first 18 with what I think are players who have minor injuries or are a bit underdone to play yet left out (see list).

    B: McVee May Hore/Tomlinson

    HB: Rivers/Brayshaw Lever Bowey

    C: Langdon Petracca Billings

    HF: ANB Schache Chandler/Tholstrup

    F: Pickett* JVR Fritsch

    Ru: Gawn Sparrow Viney

    Int: Salem (should be managed back to just two quarters), Laurie, Windsor, Spargo

    Injured/unavailabe: Oliver, McAdam, Petty, T.Mac, Melky, Hunter, Fullarton, B.Brown, Turner

    * Pickett out Rd 1 (susp).

    To play final 2 quarters with VFL players - Howes, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall, Sestan, Woewodin, K.Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

    And in the absence of injured tall forwards, Schache has to be given first shot at the role of forward/back-up ruck.

    We cannot continue to risk JVR getting injured as the back-up ruck - yes I get that he is better qualified to do it, but Schache deserves first shot at it before we try more risky/reward options such as swap out a defender such as May to fix our forward woes.

    The other thing we all should remember is that the SCG favours talls - it is shorter than other grounds and you need more marklng options than normal. Hence Schache is required for the season opener and should only miss if he shows absolutely nothing in our two practice games.

    I think Oliver may play a quarter or 2 like Salem when the youngsters come on. I think Howes and Woewodin will play with the senior players. I think the First 4 quarters will be seniors' last 3 quarters' will be reserves.

    Seniors

    B: McVee, May, Lever

    HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Bowey

    C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon

    HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

    F: Fritsch, Schache, Pickett

    FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney

    IC: Howes, Sparrow, Laurie, Spargo

    Chandler, Woewodin, Hore, Tholstrup

     

    Reserves

    Salem, Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall

    Sestan, K. Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

     

    Can't wait for the game especially to see how the youngsters go. It's good to have footy back. Go Dees.

    Is Hunter still injured ? How many weeks?

    I understand the benefits of a scratch/practice match, but they make me nervous. A player sustaining an injury during the season proper is one thing, but doing so when there’s not four points on the line is another thing entirely.

    Yes. Bring it on. it’s been forever.

    I use pregame, gameday, and post game threads as my relaxing read. 
    Away OS in September so if that is not a reason to see as much as I can during the year.  I don’t know what is.

    You’re doing relaxing wrong 😅

    For the literalists out there, I know 7 is an odd number. But, it seems odd as much figuratively as literally. I can't get my head around why there are going to be 7 periods of play.

    Yes not enough red wine.  

    • Haha 1

    With 7 periods of play

    you can have 2 seperate teams play 3 quarters.  And the middle mixed to give certain players time off or extra time

    and you get to see how some youngsters go in strong competition 

    well that’s how I see it,

    I am making my first trip down to Casey this Sunday. Is there adequate parking if I am a little late for the 10am start time. Might not get there till just after 10.

    As this is a substitute for the Family Day will players be available after the game for autographs or at least the players who might not be playing?

    Is there any seating available?

    Thank you in advance for any answers. Excited to see the Dees play live in the flesh again.

    Ok Pingu.... think Australia zoo, meets Wet and Wild,meets Dr.Who, meets Groundhog day, with a touch of the supurnatural, meets Beyond Thunderdome and you end up with CASEY FIELDS! Get the picture? Oh yes Parking? Think VFL park Waverley!

    I just hope they’re not seven regular-length quarters. 😳


    Went to put Kayo back on and it’s $35 per month so ended up buying an armchair membership for $250 so works out about $20 per month and I assume will go towards our membership tally, so anyone with Kayo who are paying the $35 cancel it and sign up through the club

    It's strange I got a rejoining offer of $15 off a month for 12 months limited time to accept but haven't heard of anyone else on here receiving it.

    I think you get select games in 4K this season on Kayo.

    😅

    Thanks for posting that WCW, very informative.

    I'm particulalry interested in the Beyond Bank presence as I'm a customer and the only branch they have in Melbourne is in South Melbourne, which is hugely inconvenient. I've been trying to deposit a cheque for three years. Hopefully they'll accept it at the ground. And I'll score a donut too. What a win.

    IMHO some of these kiosks are a little bit of a waste of space (Soz sponsors 😬). They might give out badges or pencils or whatever but mostly they don’t appeal to kids. Face painting and the bouncy castle are where it’s at!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
