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.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
