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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
