how close to casey fields to you live

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I am a Narre Warren Resident, which is part of the city of Casey. I think I am about 20-25mins from Casey Fields. Not sure if it is a GOOD move, but a move is needed so we can have our own facilities. It would be great to have the dees out this way, I just feel the move is more made out of desperation rather than an actual desire to be based here. It is 40+ kms from the CBD, and i am sure many players reside in the CBD. Quite a trip for them to make just to train.

If it helps the club I am all for it.................................or is this just a band-aid move??

I never get out that way, but I thought that Narre Warren was only 5 minutes from Cranbourne?

Far far away.

Mind you, I live 10 minutes from Sandy and I never have the time to go watch training, so it makes no different to me where we train. As long as we keep playing at the MCG, and the Casey Fields deal brings us more members.

Berwick, so I am 10-15 minutes away.

If it is going to be just used as a training base in summer it will not make a pinch of difference to support. The amount of growth out here is crazy but people are not going to start following Melbourne just because we train in the off season near them. If we wholly moved out here and had practice games here and made a go of it we would pick up support, no doubt at all. But as we are going to have whatever it is going to be in Gosh's Paddock in 1.5 to 2 years, this is unlikely.

Thornbury, getting to the north game took over 2 hours.

If we were to play against interstate teams there (massive step but might happen) i think the club would need to set up some shuttle system to arrive when a train comes in and delivers supporters to the ground, because it's a fair hike!

Don't think they did it for Waverly (Hawks and Saints).

I don't think I've ever heard people that live in Bairnsdale etc complain about how far away Melbourne is to see a match/training. Don't see why someone who lives in Brunswick would complain about Cranbourne. Just jump on the Princes or Frankston and you're basically there

You think you're about 20-25 minutes from Casey Fields? Didn't you go to Casey Fields for the match against NMFC?

It would be a good move if the MFC can tap into the massive potential membership of new communities being established. Yes, most adults have their allegiance alreday, but their kids can be influenced by what happpens at school. There are over 22,000 kids in Casey aged less than 5, and they are can all be exposed to MFC through school over the next 5 years. They go home , they pester their families for MFC gear, and want to be taken to matches. Just watch the Casey Fields crowds grow for the NAB matches if MFC comes out to Casey and is playing.

I never get out that way, but I thought that Narre Warren was only 5 minutes from Cranbourne?

I'm in Narre Warren South, and I'm less than 10 minutes from Casey Fields. Depending on where you are in Narre Warren you might be as far away as 15 minutes at the most.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
