AFLW and Casey Fields - what's the plan?
As the season is now in the warmer months Vic Park could easily be the home ground for four teams with games being played during the day on a Saturday and Sunday. Shared between four teams it would attract funding. Developed to hold say 6-7k it would make the perfect venue to re-imagine a competition that attendance wise is losing its way. Having been to Punt Rd for a few VFL games it has very little room between the ground fence and the road for a lot of the ground

AFLW: Rd 03 vs Collingwood
It should be a permanent VFLW venue. Build facilities for say 8k and you have an inner city stadium well served by public transport. You could play day games on Saturday and Sunday. Make it a family venue/outing especially as the weather improves. Night games are not the future for AFLW if you want to grow attendances nor unfortunately is Casey

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
Do you seriously think any of the first 22 are on the chopping block. The six delistings were playing for Casey

Brings back an old saying... Great to play in one VFL flag but you never want to play in two

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
Casey looked a little more balanced without Jeffo. Not his fault but when TMac was playing down back and we had Jeffo Johnson Fullarton Kentfield and Verrall up forward we were top heavy. Fullarton could save his spot in the next few weeks if he continues his form down back. At present I'd guess he's on the wrong side of the cusp but not overly much. Saw that he was rucking occasionally. An essential skill as we are well aware

Tholstrup showed plenty. A strong finals series could be just what he needs. Mentha has been quiet despite the good wins of late. Perhaps he's playing a role that I have not noticed. As a team still just a little too much boundary line ball movement for my liking but way better skills by hand and foot. Strong goal kicking accuracy for such a windy day

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
So IF we win next week it's Southport with their man mountain ruck in a PF

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
Not now We had a look at him last year and he wasn't ready. This is his best game that I've seen. Will he make it? Like his size for a flanker

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
This game is geo blocked overseas. Strange given that VFL games are usually freely available. AFL obviously wants to stop all of ten people from watching. Oh well ... off to my trusty VPN

Bulldogs smashing Frankston so hopefully a bayside match next week. A pleasant 29 degrees here on the Straits of Malacca

I salute your dedication Have a bacon and egg roll for me How one of Melbourne's fastest growing suburbs (Clyde) doesn't have better connectivity is amazing. Hell nearby Berwick has been a population centre for thirty years

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
Adding another interstate trip to a cash starved competition may not be the best idea. Wonder if they would be competitive? Where would they base the team given the never ending North/South rivalry

Training Ground?
You just know we're going to get a raw deal when the "commercial in confidence" details are finally revealed. On a more general note why would the MRC put the development in the prime public racegoers area thus closing off expansion when there's acres of land in less public areas. Something is not right
