They are kinda strange all the time in Adelaide.

I think it has something to do with the water

Me and my brother drove up from Melbourne to see the game. I thought the crowd was great and the atmosphere was really lovely, food stalls all along the fence and the Port supporters weren't too bad.

Presuming we plan for hot weather here is the 24 who (judging from the comments in the article about rested players and injuries) are in the squad. Seems like Sylvia was the unlucky guy as to me he is the only clear best 22 player in this squad. Obviously some of these guys will end up in round 1 team.

FB: Strauss Gillies Jetta

HB: Nicholson Sellar Macdonald

C: Evans Magner Stark

HF: Sylvia Hogan Tapscott

FF: Davey Pedersen Fitzpatrick

Foll: Spencer Couch M. Jones

Int; Taggert, Barry, Davis, Terlich, Kent, Tynan

Rested: Jack Grimes, Nathan Jones, Chris Dawes, Tom McDonald, Jack Watts, Jordie McKenzie, Jeremy Howe, David Rodan, Mark Jamar, Colin Garland, Shannon Byrnes, Lynden Dunn, Jimmy Toumpas and Jack Viney

INJ: Frawley, Blease, Trengove, Clark, Gawn, Bail, Clisby

Interesting that Sylvia is the odd inclusion. Could it be that he has been told he has to show something to justify his status.

Or that he has had some minor interuptions and a late start to preseason and he needs to build his fitness?

One thing about Sylvia is he often starts the year slowly, sometimes its due to injury but I think it his form as well. By getting some extra games and touch into him it should allow him to find form for early in the season. I imagine he doesn't have to play a full game or a large percentage in the midfield but just getting a run might be good for his form.

he's obviously there for his leadership qualities :blink:

Think something is wrong there Jack. The striked out are mentioned in the article as being rested or injured.

I have pasted below the article from the MFC website. it looks like a Casey Scorpions team particularly when you look who has been rested (including our whole leadership group)! Are they serious?


MELBOURNE will unveil three players for the first time when it takes on Port Adelaide in the second round of the NAB Cup this Sunday.


Rory Taggert, Dom Barry and Nathan Stark will play their first official match for the club, as the Demons take a young and largely inexperienced squad to Renmark in country South Australia, starting at 4pm.


Taggert, a tough ball winner, was Melbourne’s first pick in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft, when he was claimed at No. 36. The 19 year-old managed just three VFL matches in 2012, after his year was rocked by a back injury.


The pacy Barry, a Northern Territory zone selection traded by Greater Western Sydney, came to Melbourne last October via a deal which also netted key forward Jesse Hogan as a 17 year-old trade incentive selection.


Stark, a tenacious midfielder, was selected at No.3 in last December’s NAB AFL Rookie Draft.


Along with Taggert, Barry and Stark, the Demons will also play James Strauss, Josh Tynan, Luke Tapscott, Troy Davis and Jack Fitzpatrick for the first time this year.


Hogan will play again, after impressing considerably upon his first hit-out for the Demons last Friday night against North Melbourne and Richmond at Etihad Stadium.


Colin Sylvia, Cam Pedersen, James Magner, Dan Nicholson and Neville Jetta have been named in the side. They will be the only Demons to have featured in all three games so far this year.


New Demons Tom Gillies, Dean Kent, Matt Jones and Dean Terlich will play against the Power, after they played one match each last week.


Melbourne will be without a host of players, including Jack Trengove (foot), Mitch Clark (foot), James Frawley (eye laceration), Sam Blease (ankle), Rohan Bail (concussion), Max Gawn (hamstring) and Mitch Clisby (hamstring).


Jack Grimes, Nathan Jones, Chris Dawes, Tom McDonald, Jack Watts, Jordie McKenzie, Jeremy Howe, David Rodan, Mark Jamar, Colin Garland, Shannon Byrnes, Lynden Dunn, Jimmy Toumpas and Jack Viney have all been rested.


The Demons will return to Victoria for the third week of the NAB Cup, hosting St Kilda at Casey Fields on March 9 at 2.30 pm.

That's the latest update. I think the master's post was pretty spot on.

This is the right move, who cares about a round 2 Pre-season game in Renmark, the only thing to be gained are players on the fringe for round 1 stake a claim and young players gain experience.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
