    No Davey, Bartram, Trengove, Jordie, Grimes or Blease...

    So no Bartram, Grimes and Davey off the top of my head. Would've thought Jamar would be rested also...

    Aaron Davey, Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove and Clint Bartram have been rested from that loss, while Colin Garland (calf) is injured. (From article)

    Brisbane squad-

    http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/108702/default.aspx

    Black and Power to return. Good.

    Very excited to see Tapscott coming on for his first run. Although I won't actually be seeing it.. Will be interesting to see how the backline holds up with no Garland (anyone know anything about his injury), Grimes or Batram.

    Un-pleased about not seeing Blease- would have loved to see if he could play a running half back role as I feel he could be the talent we are screaming out for. What is wrong with him.

    Hopefully the great un-washed don't feel it necessary to dish it out to Scully. Someone better be on head-butt patrol.

    I really want to see Jurrah rested. An injury to him could cause major issues for our finals hopes.

    Needs match fitness- although it's just a shitty NAB Challenge match he will probably be better for it. Can't exclude on the chance of an injury as it could just as easily happen in round 1 (heaven forbid)

    Although in saying that would much prefer Jamar have a rest. Give Spencer a full match with Martin backing up. Injury to Jamar will hurt us most.

    I tell you right now, if anyone does that near me they'll wish they hadn't. America de cali i'm looking at you!:D

    TAPSCOTT! THE MAN WITH THE GIANT NECK! GO YOU GOOD THING!

    it's always a bit sad though to watch a game that doesn't include Grimes. Makes me want to cry actually.

    I nearly topped myself last year when he got hurt in that praccy, don't know if I could take it again

    Knowing Melbourne's history in practice matches, I am expecting at least one major injury in the next two weeks. :(

    Happy with resting all of them. Can see both sides of the coin re Jurrah, he needs continuity to get match fit and get his body used to playing, however it will be a big case of fingers crossed....

    Very excited to see Tapscott coming on for his first run. Although I won't actually be seeing it.. Will be interesting to see how the backline holds up with no Garland (anyone know anything about his injury), Grimes or Batram.

    Yeah really intrigued with how Tappy will go. If he can live up to half the hype then that will be a great start...

    With the backline, i wouldn't be surprised to see Cook playing CHB. No Brown or Fev helps in that regard too.

    Un-pleased about not seeing Blease- would have loved to see if he could play a running half back role as I feel he could be the talent we are screaming out for. What is wrong with him.

    I believe that he may be another who is having his loads carefully managed. Not through injury, just taking a very cautious approach to ensure his body holds up. I don't have a problem with that.

    Hopefully the great un-washed don't feel it necessary to dish it out to Scully. Someone better be on head-butt patrol.

    I don't think anyone will.

    Also, I am well aware I have MFCSS. If anyone has a cure, please let me know.

    Maybe we could also stop him from training? After all, he could do himself an injury there as well... and maybe we shouldn't have him play the first few games of season proper as we don't want him out of action for the business end of the season.

    Sorry, but I really don't like these suggestions that certain players shouldn't go around because they might get injured... football is what guys like Jurrah do... let them play, let them enjoy it and let them get match fit.

    No Frawley, Grimes, Garland (not sure why he's named in the squad) - arguably our 3 best defenders. Bartram out as well. I'd be looking to rest Jamar - he'll have such a big work load in the season I see no reason that he needs 4 practice matches. McDonald is miles off so I'd rather play others with more chance of making it in the round 1 team. Can't wait to hear how Gysberts, Petterd and Tapscott go. Also I think Cook and Nicholson are a decent chance to play AFL this year, I'd love to see them go well.

    I agree with your points, I just hate to see our players get injured in the preseason. It is probably good for him to play, but with his importance to the team it just worries that he could get injured in a 'meaningless' match.

    I'm gonna go and take that BEX and have a lie down. Thanks for the tip, C & B.

    I must suffer the same syndrome I often have four or five Becks and a good lie down

    Shattered I'm going to miss Tapscott's first hit out because I have to go to a wedding.

    God people are so rude and selfish, scheduling their wedding on a day Melbourne plays a practice match! :rolleyes: B)

    Counting on the good folks at Demonland to provide a full match report.

    TAPSCOTT !!!

    It will be interesting to see how he goes-I have high expectations of him.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
