Cats Set for More Games at The Cattery

If it's Hawthorn not making the trip down the highway then you can just about guarantee that they will only be drawn to play Collingwood once next year as there is no way they will send them down there ever.

I'm struggling to see the outrage in this as per above.

Means that one more VIC powerhouse has to go down to pay Geelong (eg - Carlton, Essendon or Collingwood) rather than JUST the usual third class citizens like us, the Dogs and North.

Having said that, nothing surer than Collingwood playing Geelong once next year, with Collingwood being the home team. Or if they do play twice, Geelong will be the home team....

.....at Gather Round.

The money from a home game down there with a clean stadium is enormous.

Think you may now find with the increased capacity they will want to play Collingwood at Kardinia Park

Their problem is that they need a crowd of 70k at the MCG to match the money they make from a 40k crowd at the MCG. Few competing clubs will deliver 70k crowds

Good, they should play 11 home games down there. The fewer home games they play at the G the less likely it is we will be scheduled a home game at Docklands.

Not to mention with the amount of government dollars pumped into the stadium they should be using it as much as possible.

Good result for the Cats, and hopefully means we see a more even fixture with the big 4 being sent down there. I also like that Easter Monday remains at the MCG as it's a marquee game, but in the years the Hawks host they should get the extra home game at Geelong.

All for Geelong to play 11 games at their home ground. 

The real question that should be asked is should they be allowed to play at a venue that is as wide as a bowling green and is so far off the dimensions of every other professional ground that it is almost a different sport down there?

McClure on 3AW said it was completely unfair on all the VIC clubs and could not believe this was going ahead.

At the end of the day, it's their home ground. They're entitled to play as many games they like down there.

Their home finals get played away from their home ground, which more often than not is their undoing.

He really is the worst

Not only should they play 11 games down there, it should be rotated so that EVERY club plays down there at least once every 2 years.

Fat chance of that happening, though

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.

    The key defender has the height and has showed out from time to time with his pace in defence but has progressed slowly in his two seasons at the club. Will need to improve in 2025. Date of Birth: 14 May 2004 Height: 196cm Games CDFC 2024: 17 Goals CDFC 2024:  0

    Like most big men, Verrall is taking time to develop as a ruckman but has shown some encouraging signs. Finished ninth in the Casey Demons best & fairest this year. Date of Birth: 11 March 2004 Height: 199cm Games CDFC 2024: 17 Goals CDFC 2024: 6

    2024 Player Reviews: #50 Ben Brown

    Coming to Melbourne after seven years as a leading goal kicker at North Melbourne, Brown was well known for his unique, extremely long run up on set shots for goal. After some early setbacks injury wise settled into the full forward position in time to play a big role in the 2021 premiership win with three goals. Unfortunately, the remainder of his time at the club was hampered by injury including the need to undergo knee surgery. He retired from playing football at the end of the season after 4

    Brown, the son of former Demon hard nut Nathan Brown, made a couple of cameo appearances as a substitute which included a brilliant run down tackle which may have saved the game against the Kangaroos. Had some outstanding games at VFL level and finished equal sixth in the best & fairest at Casey.

    AWESOME FOURSOME by Meggs

    The rejuvenated Demons out tussled the Tigers by 13 points to make it four wins on the trot on Saturday which means that the slight possibility of a finals appearance remains alive in 2024. This is despite the AFLW handicapping the Demons against their peers yet again (more later). Lots to celebrate as it was Kids Day at Casey Fields and both teams ran onto the ground modelling their Pride jumpers.   Kate Hore won the toss and kicked to the Clyde end. Thankfully, the notorious Casey

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 03

    Part 3: Happier Days by Whispering Jack It would be fair to say that when the Melbourne Football Club entered the free agency and trade period earlier this month, its reputation was flagging, if not in tatters. The club was taking a battering in the media and social media over a number of issues, some real and others imaginary and even fabricated, relating to the running of the club, team performance and its culture, a build up that’s been taking place for more than twelve months.
