I reckon we will lose this.

That's what we normally do when we should win.

They have Magner and Clisby playing for them, with Neeld in the box.

We better win.

I wonder if Magner or Clisby will deliberately try to hurt someone to get back at us?

Nah they wouldn't do that....I think.

It's purely to do with Foxtel.

They've made it in to a TV double header with the GC V Brisbane game on at 8:30.

I hope we win by minimum 10 goals and Hogan kicks 5+ plus as well as Garlett! Momentum is huge and it appears Gold Coasts season could be stunted with Ablett looking in doubt for round 1 and the Suns fwds on the sidelines!!

Weird time.

I won't be driving up the Princes Freeway for this one.

And I won't be looking for this one when I land in Las Vegas!! Edited by Coup Cooper

Look on the positive side. Maybe we can blood a few players and instil into the team that it is possible for Melbourne to win at Etihad! Hopefully we can remove the bogey before the season proper.

Yeah...nah.

The psychological damage which would be inflicted on our players if we played our best team and lost is so terrifying to me that I would rather play our least experienced team while including players who "need the run" such as Watts. I'd rest players who don't really need any more training (such as N Jones, Lumumba, Dunn, T McDonald, Jamar and Cross).

I'm really annoyed about this too

I work, as do most other people. I'll be lucky to make it home on time to watch the match, let alone get to Etihad with enough time to park etc...

Can't they start at 6:30?!

I actually can't wait for this game. The wife and entire family of in laws are mad Essendon, mother in law completely in denial about the whole cheating drugs thing and still thinks Golden boy is completely innocent of all wrong doing. Apparently it's entirely ASADA and AFLs fault.... Anyway

Few things make me happier then the Dees beating the Dons. Pre season or not, half a list or full side, I can't wait to smash them again.

GO DEES!

Nice tautology there.

I would go even further than that and sought AFL permission to play the same Casey team which demolished the Box Hill Hawks last Saturday (who had 14(?) Hawthorn AFL listed players in their side). In that way, Casey would get another good practice game for their tilt on the Premiership, Brayshaw and Co. would get another run, and we wouldn't be needlessly risking injury to our core players.

I have the feeling Roos is far from impressed by essendon. He might just want to kick them in the guts, to make a point and give us something handy to go on from to start season with.

Are there any interclub practice matches this year (that is, next week)?... apart from the NAB Challenge I mean.

I just don't want us to be the first team to lose to these rejects.

That's what I am wirried about tbh.

To quote the greatest thing to ever happen to the AFL, "you took the words right out of my mouth".

Of course not, but this will be the first season in a while where there have been such games... yes? I'm just curious.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
