You know what we should have done? had a triple header. 1:50pm Casey vs Footscray, 4:40pm Western Bulldogs vs Melbourne, 7:30pm AFLW Western Bulldogs vs Melbourne. Opportunity missed. We could have even done it this week with the Northern Blues

Really good idea but sadly it's the VFL that controls the pre-season

I imagine the AFL could hand them ultimatums as they usually tend too, But if i where the VFL i'd not do it out of spite

well you gotta think about it this way, clubs would be playing part time football players depending on the other team's injury and then you would likely need to play the development team way before it's schedule games which could hinder a lot of development in the younger kids

Honestly think it's a bit silly that we play Carlton in Casey. The ground barely holds 5k people and I expect a fair turnout from both supporter bases. Might watch from home this week.

I can understand why it is down there but I won't be going either, it'll probably sell out and the parking will be a nightmare.

Judging by the game on Saturday (pretty much all doggies supporters) I don't expect our delicate supporters to make the trip to Casey. But yes Carlton fans will probably pack the place out.

Its a pretty ordinary ground for events. Car park is tiny and public transport is s**t.

Youre not wrong! I just rock up early haha

 

[LeverPuller]

Considering heading down for both...

 

[DemonTim]

There's like 115 car parks in the joint. Car parking shouldn't be an issue

VFL don't have a Praccy until later in March. Would be stupid to force them to run one way earlier just to get a triple header

Development play next week but that's against an nt rep side and was the only time they could. As far as I know casey don't have a game until the 10th?

Do you run a university?

115 car parks with no train station within walking distance? I reckon they're going to really struggle to fit everyone, it'll be well over 5k people down there.

115 car parks. Not spaces. I was being hyperbolic, that they have a shitload of parking areas there. I've never seen all the car parks full

 

[VitalDread]

I hope Bull and Declan get a run
would be really fitting

My bad friend. Hopefully its a pro Melbourne crowd, I understand why we do the expansion stuff down in Casey but think it'll be at least another 10 years + some successful seasons for us to have an impact down there.

I don't think it'll be a huge crowd either way, but you see a fair few Dee's fans down at casey games (frustratingly they only care about the dees players though). I should be there

True that... I watched a few Casey games last year and found myself enjoying tim smith more than most Dees players haha... but now hes a Dees player sooo

 

[markm106]

I'm going to give it a miss and watch on tv. I have been previous years and yeah parking is a bugger. They had people directing traffic on the way in and it was everyone for themselves after the game. Your also lucky if you don't get stuck in a ditch while getting out!
I'm thinking also that it'll be packed out especially with AFLW on first.

The ones that annoy me most are the cheer squad. Even before we were the demons, they would just bring red and blue pom poms and sit behind the goals, and cheer for the melbourne players. The scorps weren't just read and blue, and weren't called the Demons. Idiots

5000 / 115 = 43.5 people per car.

When is this game? I'm going to set up a chair at the car park and watch the midget clowns piling into and out of cars.
