CASEY: Rd 19 vs Footscray

The stupidity of the VFL’s fixturing comes to the fore on Friday in mid-afternoon when a crowd of one or two dozen (weather permitting) turn up to watch a VFL game at Mission Whitten Oval which is probably out Footscray way. 

That’s where the Casey Demons will be playing this week and, despite the fact that they won’t play against about three other VFL clubs at all this year, they take on Footscray for the second time in 2024. They have already played the Brisbane Lions twice. 

Go figure?

    Not only does it white ant ( rather than support) the senior competition, it also makes winning a flag in this competition seem kinda devoid of value.

    This should be the second best competition in the nation.

    It seems like it's being run by clowns.....

    Oh hang on

    Coz its a F@#$%!@ Basker case of a competion run like an under 7 school House competition in the Bronx. UNTIL the other AFL clubs ark up and we have an AFL reserves comp, nothing will change. THIS IS AND HAS BEEN SHIZZEN FOR FAR TOO LONG🤮

    It would almost be like it would be maybe just a little bit better to just play the seconds before the AFL at Docklands?  
    Woah dude
    🤯 

    But after the cluster-$@&) of the kardinia surface a couple of weeks ago, I can’t see them playing any games or even too close together. 
    Except if it involves Taytay …..or gmhba

    I see no point in playing BBB or Schache again this season unless they are keen or we need them numbers wise. MJ needs another tall - Fullerton, Verall,  Kentfield.

    I supported my club for more than 60 years, but geez, it's getting harder by the week.

    damn...I thought it was on Saturday and was looking forward to getting to it. The AFL really dont have a clue how to run the game do they. Why schedule games at a time that drastically reduces attendances ?

    Given that the VFL fixture i heavily influenced by the participating AFL clubs there are some very strange outcomes.

    The Brisbane fixture was weird

    FWIW this one makes relative sense

    Gives everyone the weekend off

    Now... what do we want from this game skill wise...

    Personally I'd like a good game from McAdam particularly below his knees

    3pm on Friday.

    Do they even care if people attend these games anymore?

    This game is basically around the corner from home and I absolutely would have gone if it was fixtured at a decent time (that didn’t clash with the AFL Dees playing) but the game will probably wrap at around the time I knock off work.

    Ridiculous fixturing.

    That's great, I didn't realise the game was tommorow at whitten oval.

    I have the day off and it's on my side of town.

    A bus stop almost outside my house and the bus stops at West Footscray station over the bridge to the ground.

    Watch the magoos in footscray.

    Pho in Barkly Street.

    Then on the train to Marvel.

    Perfect Friday.

    takes skill to be this bad at fixturing

    Welcome to Friday’s Festival of Footy. Hopping a cloven hoof can spoil the party somewhere between the kennel and the ‘g. To re-assure those on the outer limits of the Demon periphery (eg. Milwaukee’s finest) Gerry and your correspondent are ringside at the TJ Whitten oval  (virtually) resplendent in the afternoon sunshine sitting in deckchairs. Is that an omen? We’ll have to wait and see. Go Demons!

    • 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.
