No Johnson. End is nigh IMO.

Also no Bruce, Davey, MacDonald or Rivers.

I doubt Davey would be considered to play less than 2 months after breaking his leg!

Nice to see Jack Grimes named. Must be over his injury...

Spoke to Jack this week. He said his back was great and he was hanging to get back into it.....

What about Nathan Jones. Is his back OK? He did manage all 22 games this season.

So why are we even doing this rubbish?

Anyone know how much $$$ the club get for doing this?

I wonder whose pre-season will be ruined...

The missing players were all injured late last season, so it makes sense that they're not playing.

Was looking forward to seeing Tapscott and Blease, but I was honestly just clutching at straws as neither were going to make their AFL debut in China!

Yours, by the sound of it. Hope there's no injuries and just enjoy the fact that we get something to talk about during the off-season.

Anyone got the Brisbane team? Do they even have 22 left?!

I did hear it but I couldn't name the team. Mostly kids. Jonno Brown & 2 others going (for promotional duties) but not playing.

Shanghai Tour is for 2 weeks from Oct 10-23.

The match is played on Oct 14.

Not televised to Australia - only in China where it is expected 300 million people will be tuning in!!

The MFC are unable to use Twitter for match progress due to restrictions but they say they'll put something up on the website.

To all that are going, I wish for the safest trip and hope you all have an absolute ball!!! Cam Schwab is very pleased at what this trip means and is happy that the core group will all be there together as he says this is the group that will spend the next 10 years together. Strong words.

Go Dees.

Game is actually played at 2.15 (Shanghai Time) (5.15 Melbourne Time) on SUNDAY 17th October.

Also no Bruce, Davey, MacDonald or Rivers.

Bruce is overseas; Davey is injured.

Unsure of MacDonald and Rivers.

Pretty sure the whole team will be making the trip as Cam Schwab has said he is excited that the "group that will be working with one another over the next 10 years are making the trip".

Davey will make the journey. Ditto Rivers and Joel Mac. Jones will go also.

Brucey seems to be a bit on the outer...

What about Nathan Jones. Is his back OK? He did manage all 22 games this season.

Jones is obviously still overcoming his back injury. As per his "tweets", he's back into training back still cautious.

Oh and one last thing..... CHENEY IS PLAYING!!!! ;)

HERALD SUN WEBSITE states:

"Up until Monday, the Lions had just 16 players confirmed for the game and up until Friday the most experienced was 76-game midfielder Cheyne Stiller.

But key defenders Jed Adcock and Daniel Merrett and midfielder Amon Buchanan have since been added, injecting more than 330 games experience into the squad - which is more than the other players put together."

"Ironically there's no shortage of senior Lions players making the trip, with skipper Jonathan Brown, veterans Simon Black and Luke Power and now Fevola going only for promotional and sightseeing purposes."

Ok. Prediction time. Demons by 88 points.

does that mean Newton is playing next season?

I think we tried doing a trade with the Chinese but they wouldn't budge on their offer. One extra spring roll would have probably clenched the deal.

i would actually trade michael newton for 3 prawn dumplings and 2 spring rolls. please note, that i would be the only one who gets them, and they would not be for sharing.

Does anyone know what kind of pitch we are playing on? I'm not aware of any stadium in Shanghai with dimensions large enough for our game. Most of the stadiums there have soccer pitches with running tracks around them. Are we going to play on an open field or some smaller weird shaped pitch?

I did find out where it will be played. Its the Jiangwan Sports centre. I looked at Wikmapia and it certainly looks long enough to play a decent game of AFL but perhaps a little narrow.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
