Off to the west for first practice against the Anchors:

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-10-28/nab-challenge-fixture-confirmed

I hope they are all televised, especially as it is unlikely most will get to the first two games and the third, if we lose the first 2 games, could be completely meaningless.

Then again some say the whole NAB Cup is meaningless, but they are usually the ones who aren't in the final.

Its a chance at a real hitout....thats all it is and all that the club will view it as.

Looks like the game in Ballarat against the Dogs won't be televised.

Out of the 6 games that aren't televised, surprisingly the powerhouses of North, St Kilda, Dogs and us are involved.

I much prefer playing Essendon as our lead in game as opposed to hawthorn this year when we lost by 100 points!

Letr's hope Sylvia has a full pre-season then...

It's just three rounds of football for all clubs - no finals.

Disapointed to see that we aren't playing a game out at Casey Fields. Was looking forward to walking the couple of 100 meters with my 2 year old to watch them play.

If paul roos had his way he probably wouldn't even keep score

We need to play to win every time we step on the field. I'm sick of this club just going through the motions in the pre season and then acting all surprised when they get flogged in round 1.

Last time we played Freo in the pre season was at Subi in 2010 and we copped a belting and I remember thinking jesus it's going to be another long season we are so far off the mark. Hence 2010 turned out better than I expected with us looking like we were heading in the right direction for the future.

This time I think we are in better hands both on and off the field

Not sure that our third match against Essendon sans 18 players* will prove much of a hit-out.

*Any player hit with an infraction notice is immediately 'provisionally suspended'. The player may appeal to the AFL anti-doping appeal tribunal.

Have to learn new AFL speak. In the future Essendon means Bye.

No thanks. After our last two efforts there, I'm glad we're staying clear.

Yes, I suppose I should change that to " the clubs that don't play well".

Pretty sure the WAFL will be having a couple of practice matches by then.

Dare say Peel won't let him play in the NAB for fear of injury.

A few Pale Ale pints down at LC's..

It's likely to be 35 degrees so better go well hydrated.

Red, Ballarat is only an hour and a bit away. Surely some tragic D'Ls could make their way up and give BMc some support for his first hit out against his old club. We have great support from around the Ballarat area and if the weather is fine we could get a nice crowd to start our trudge towards September....

    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.
