ALL-STARS SQUAD

Aaron Davey, Liam Jurrah, Jamie Bennell (Melbourne).

I am proud that our guys are representing, but, please - for the love of God - do not get injured.

Richmond have named a pretty lame squad, even for them, but we have got some of our best talent out there...

I noticed that the game is going to be live on ABC!! Friday night at 8:30.

if any of those 3 get even slightly hurt I will be severely [censored] off beyond consolation.. all are important and brilliant to watch

Maybe, but for them to represent indigenous footballers in this game is a great honour... so I am really pleased for them; besides, I can't really see that Richmond side being capable of inflicting anything, much less injury, on anyone.

How does Bennell get named ahead of Wonna?

Probably for the same reason he would in an MFC 22.

If Bennell and Wonna were in the draft at your pick who would you take - I'd take Bennell.

Expect Jurrah to explode on Friday night. Not literally, like he is prone to in pre-season games, but in the sense that he will be best on ground.

What, you mean he is not really going to blow up?:)

I found it intresting that in the article they say "AFL players Cyril Rioli, Buddy Franklin and Liam Jarrah."

I guess Jurrah has become a bigger drawcard than Davey in the media now.

Good luck to all those picked. I can't wait to watch and get some footy fix.

My tip: All Stars by 25pts. Davey to star.

Also interesting to watch out for a B.Miller who has been named for the Tigers.

GREAT, I don't want our stars playing in this Mickey Mouse crap.

Maybe "mickey mouse crap" to you, but for those players representing the indigenous footballers is considered quite an honour. But you're right, why should we care about what they want... we know what's best for them!

Practice matches where players have to travel and potentially get injured playing against Richmond thirds, YES to me are Mickey Mouse whatever the cause.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
