If we are playing an intraclub game, do we combine this with Casey Scorpions, since we don't have 44 players on the track to form two teams? How does it work?

I think they pick players from the crowd.

Last year they didn't only Melbourne listed players, they reduced the numbers per side. This year we have a very healthy list, if we stay that way the only players that won't be ready to play is Trengove, Clark and Gawn. Even Hogan trained with the main group today.

MIght be like the 8 period game last year with players swapping teams and not a full compliment of 22 a side. More about getting a feel for match conditions before the NAB cup which are in essence practice games.

I'm sure they'll get a massive crowd out there, given that it's during business hours ...
Yes they really should be conducting training and intra-clubs at a time that is suitable to us. Maybe 7pm when everyone has gotten home and had their din-dins.

St Kilda are having their hit out on a Saturday morning so every man and his dog can watch it. Plus a great opportunity to sell memberships.

I reckon 9:00 on a Friday morning in East Cranbourne is a crap time, for those that want to actually attend.

Something else we should keep an eye out for is any kind of hitout against Collingwood. They did it last year - only for players under 25 or something - and there was talk at the time that it could become a regular part of the pre-season buildup.

I seem to recall that last year it wasn't announced anywhere, so perhaps keep our ears open.

Yes, much like Geelong and North have collaborated to do a couple of times this preseason.

Not the worst idea.

Once again they set things up to avoid selling memberships or letting the fans have a look at their team working. Whoever schedules these things for the club needs to taken out behind the change rooms and shot.

Are you serious?

I'm glad they set things up to suit the football dept and them alone.

We're all about getting more wins.

When the wins come, the members will increase in accordance.

If you're that desperate to see the match, take the day off work.

I live 5 mins from Casey so it doesnt bother me, but you would think that the brain fart that organised it would move it a day forward then maybe a few hundred people would turn up, give the fans something to watch, maybe see some progress, most people cant attend training.

I'm fortunate enough to have some business interests in the Cranbourne area so I don't even have to take the day off work. I just need to tailor some appointments around the time of the game and get down there on the day.

I would think that the FD has worked out their schedule for the intraclub game in line with the start of our NAB Cup campaign which comes seven days later.

That's the nature of sports science these days.

Will try and get down to that. I went a couple of years ago and it was well worth it.

WJ your use of simple logic is frankly disconcerting.

I really enjoyed it in 2010 and most of 2011 up until players changed teams in the third quarter. From what I heard 2012 was a calamity with 17 3-minute quarters and trees and cones on the field or something

I really think playing a proper match is a great event for the club, the turnout and the atmosphere are great and it has previously got me pumped about the season after seeing all the players in action

Friday the 15th at 10am at Casey Fields.

Not sure how the format will be. Last year it was 8, 8 minute quarters from memory, certainly different.....

Hopefully it's more a proper match this year.

What, we were experimenting in the intra club match too? Bloody hell, Caro will now start reporting that we were practicing how to experiment in game-like conditions.

Maths doesn't seem to be our strong point on Demonland. Eight quarters? Seventeen quarters?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
