CASEY: Rd 19 vs Footscray

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Posted

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.

    no idea!

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
