Ha love it, the club can't win. I'm sure there will be plenty of other chances to see them play footy this year.

Yeah but this is the one match we're guaranteed not to lose.

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.

Well part of the fun for me is seeing a real game (perhaps with slightly shorter quarters) and seeing which team of players play best together

I can imagine the outrage on here if they advertised it as come one, come all, 2pm Saturday and then the crowd turned up to find out it's not a real match like last year. Watch out tanking thread, it'd be 65 pages before Sunday morning.

Do we know what the teams will be for the game? I thought last year they were announced a couple days prior to the game but not 100% sure.

Honestly I am not to worried how they structure the game (4 quarters or 8 aahh... eighths??) just excited to see some of the new boys out and about.

Will be sure to bring a printout from the webpage with all the players names & numbers as just looking at the training photos it's easy to be confused.

I'm making a fair journey for the trip (from Echuca that morning, told work it's a 'client meeting'). Can anyone give me a rough estimate how long it will take say from the Bolte Bridge to Casey Fields?

Cheers

Approx. 45 minutes but it totally depends on the Bolte traffic which can be very slow at peak times.

So I would allow an hour Min.

ill be there to have a look, should be good

hope the foot skills have improved but somewhat doubtful

still think our problem is the midfield, we are relying on first year players (toumpas, viney) and sylvia to have a decent year - well stranger things have happened

Deeko,

It takes me 45 min from SE Suburbs so I would allow at least an hour plus depending on traffic

I've been once before but I can't remember, do they have team sheets available? I don't think I'll recognise half of our team!

Deeko,

Allow an hour.

I used to live in Cranbourne and it would take me 50min to punt road on game day.

Really good drive with the freeways now.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
