This game has been scheduled for 11am on saturday morning. WTF

I would have brought the kids to Casey but that time clashes with their basketball games. I know finals are on but is this the best the AFL can do for a marquee match like this? braindead.

    Maybe if it is early in the morning, @WalkingCivilWar will need less red bull?

    ...Nah, who am I kidding 😂

    Uhm… do you even know how to Red Bull, DP? Clearly not. Lemme explain: the match start time doesn’t determine how many cans I drink, it’s the same number of cans, only I start drinking them earlier. Geez for a lawyer you’re not terribly bright, are you. 😝

    So it looks like brekky cans at 6am. Gotta leave home at 7am to get to the ground by 10am. Another coupla travellers on the train, with the final can chugged just before the first bounce. Factor in probs three coffees and I’ll be bouncing around Casey ‘til at least quarter time. 😅

    Our first home game for Season 9. Really hoping to get a good crowd despite the inconvenient time-slot. If you live in the area (or even if you don’t) please come along to watch some pretty bloody good footy. Bring the kidlets too. There’ll be fun activities set up and the relaxed vibe is perfect for them and if they get bored they can run around and burn off energy (works for me 😅). The kids also get to interact with the players after the match.

    Come and support our Dees!!! ❤️💙

    The Tayla Harris news is shocking. Huge loss. I hope she can recover fully and is raring to go come rd 1 next year.

    would love to attend but have kids sport on Sat mornings 

    Only 2 games in melbourne for the whole season is madness

    Meanwhile the MCG and Eithad aren’t being used at all

    Do you mean only two games at Casey for the season? There’s actually three but yeah that’s not many.

    Sorry, No I meant we play 2 games at IKON in Carlton.

    Casey is pretty far out, I don't reckon they'll have much luck attracting your average MFC fan out there.

    90 min drive or 2.5 hrs via public transport (from my gaff in inner north)

    Yeah Ikon is so much better than Casey. Inner-city ground for starters, more than one 300-seat stand (which is for players’ families anyways), wind protection, decent food and drink outlets and the girls love playing there more than anywhere else.

    That’s actually good TRAB. Less pressure on us as we smash ‘em into the middle of next week. 😁

    Its a beautiful morning, perfect for footy, but I fear there won’t be many there. Along with Casey being too difficult for many people to get to (especially since the dreaded replacement buses are a thing today), Saturday morning is unofficially local sports time. Some of our DA regulars can’t make it because of kids’ basketball games etc.

    Never mind. Those of us who are there will just have to be EXTRA LOUD!!! That’s never a problem for me 🤭

    First kids basketball game done. Out in Resa. Nice facilities. Whoever said basketball is non contact has never seen under 10 girls from preston play. fights scratches etc. Proud of my girl, she don’t take no [censored]

    The boy is up next. will keep you updated!

    that surprises me. they were horrible last week.

    whereas we were excellent last week. we brought the heat and pressure which was missing last year.

    Harris and Pearce are big outs for us but i reckon we can cover for them

    The Lions will be much better but we'll win a tight one.

    No HTB allowed against the Lions?

    Lions too tall, connected, fast.

    Can't change much of that. Need to find a way around it.

    'Breeze' stronger than forecast. And all over the place.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
