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.

    Dees by 7

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
