  1. Next season Foxtel will be able to use their own commentators when screening Ch.7 matches. Can't wait! BT is horrendous. That said, loved listening to James Bradshaw's GF commentary (and Daisy) 😁
  2. Chandler had some great games for Casey in the middle last year. He can definitely play there.
  3. Jordan's game was the best I've seen him play last week. Hope he stays in 22 but as you say, who becomes the sub? It is a reflection of just how strong this team is. It is a wonderful problem to have, one that most other teams would envy.
  4. We were $1.01 against North in 2021 😳
  5. Palace Dees replied to a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I love reading most of Demonland posts, but none more than those from WCW, Katrina and all related to the DA. You people are magic and represent our club so proudly. WCW, you mention fund raising. How can we devotees help in a tangible way? I probably have had my head in the sand, but I don't recall ever having the opportunity to financially support the DA. Also, I'm sure many of us would jump at the chance to purchase life sized player cut outs from MAD printing. Could this be done in conjunction with the DA so you get a cut?
  6. Yes! Stats will show just 7 possessions and 2 goals but he handed Jefferson 2 more he had every right to kick himself. He is coming from a minor league, so those coming through the TAC system have a head start. Give him a full year at Casey and a pre season and this kid could be special. High footy IQ and a natural forward. Very excited to see how good he will be.
  7. Oskar 😉
  8. Ironically, Roos' biggest loss as Swans coach was in his last game in 2010 against us, 73pts. Very few other joyous days. Who could forgot us facing them in '93 when going for their 27th successive loss they smacked us by 40pts. Swans coach that day? Ron Barassi 😔 I think we can still win, but I am surprised the bookies have us as favourite this week.
  9. I actually teared up when I heard the good news. I need to toughen up! Another plus in recruiting Brody is being able to graduate Max's return re ruck and game time.
  10. If someone called Satan wished me a safe flight, I'd be a tad nervous 😓
  11. .....and his brother leg Darryl
  12. I'd be more hopeful if the injury was given a name
  13. Yeah, I can see the reasoning to have Joel as sub to give us flexibility in covering multiple injury returns. That said, IMO he is not the next best option in any of them and I'm always nervous when he's in the starting 22.
  14. Sound reasoning. Salem may be returning via Casey.
  15. The good news is, EVERY VFL game in 2023 will be streamed live via AFL.com.au and their app.
  16. Being a Melbourne partner certainly does influence my choices. I've painted most of the rooms in the house using Haymes paint, travelling an extra 30kms to shop at their store. I always use Hertz for car rental. The only beer I drink is Furphies Crisp ale. That said, red wine is my drink of choice, but unfortunately Bleasdale never appealed to me. I appreciate that is just personal taste. Penfolds, on the other hand, will be more strongly supported. I visited NT a couple of years back. Buy Country Road, New Balance and Maccas occasionally. And with apologies to the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, if my multi gets up, I'm buying a Jag!
  17. All this emphasises how valuable KC from Casey has been over the years.
  18. I really hope players don't have to do a 5th quarter (30 mins running) post game in 30° heat like they did last week. Only one thing can come from that.
  19. Thanks WJ and Nascent. A bit of a reality check for us supporters who demand so much of our team with little appreciation of the personal challenges they may face.
  20. Would love it if they released a 2021 red referencing the premiership. The quality of the previous sponsors release doesn't do it justice.
  21. Love this photo. First ever father-son, 6 time premiership player, 4 time premiership coach. rover in VFL/AFL team of the century, changed the game as a coach, etc etc. My first memories of barracking for Melbourne always included Ron. He stands alone as a legend of the game. With all he achieved, his blood always ran red and blue. How lucky are we. Love you Ron. ❤💙
  22. I would have liked the club to respond with a very quick and firm no thanks! Hopefully, this is not far away. If Crown do sponsor the Demons, it would literally be a case of selling your soul to the devil. 😈
  23. $73k now.....tell you friends. This affects everyone, not just MFC fans.
  24. C'mon everyone. We can crack $100k this weekend!
