Im actually working today so will have it on until 5 then check the results near the end of the game. Im expecting to lose and geelong should thrash a team like us, but hopefully we can give it a good contest and we compete and hawkins doesnt dominate like he usually does.

Actually, it's only on Foxtel.....still won't save us.

It is too.. Usually sunday 3:20 is channel 7..

Will be a loss but won't be as bad as some think. They are missing enough players in key areas to keep us in the contest from the opening bounce. Will still be a 5-6 goal loss but not much more than that.

Heavy day of on-line gaming, is there a game on?

I'll be disappointed today if we can't compete in the midfield. We should have the better tap ruckman and we have our best midfielders in the side.

However, we have significant issues at both ends of the ground so I won't be surprised if we struggle to kick goals and lose because of it.

The way people are talking on here though, it's like we're taking the Casey seconds to Tasmania to play a full-strength Hawthorn side. Geelong of 2015 is nothing to be afraid of, even in Geelong. If we had our full strength side I'd be a lot more positive.

Agreed. Our midfield is actually pretty close to full strength and there is plenty of run there. If we can keep Hawkins quiet as well then we should be competitive.

We will probably struggle to kick more than 6-7 goals for the day, and we will need a big day from Garlett (who is due to kick a bag!) but no Hogan really hurts.

Dear Coach, please do not play Rohan Bail (44) in the forward line. He cannot hit the side of a barn. This is often a great disadvantage to Rohan and the rest of our team when Rohan is shooting for goal. He often seems to be the last man at the end of the chain of play going forward. This is often because the opposition dont bother to put a man on him because its not w...........

I went to a bar b que last night that was mainly full of South American expats. (the 'lads" got me an invitation) Anyway it was bloody freezing so I was wearing my Demons scarf. A couple of the gauchos engaged me in conversation and asked me, incredulously, If I actually followed Melbourne. When I replied in the affirmative they were very sympathetic and asked me how much I expected to lose by this weekend. These guys know bugger all about Aussie Rules and follow soccer. FMD!

If you were dressed like your avatar, maybe they were just scared and saying something to make you go away.

300th game for Enright? You think they might want to pummel the Dees again for old time sake?

I'm heading down today to watch my first afl game at skilled..

Absolutely gutted Hogan is out.. Just hope we are there abouts at 3qtr time..

They have a few injuries.. So who knows..

Jones will have to kick 3 today and have 35+ for us to have a sniff..

Hoping Toumpus fires again!

I think you missed that boat mate. Believe its Simonds stadium now - least they keep the same initials (Shell, Skilled, Simmonds).

Hope this isn't your last - not a good feeling getting thrashed at the cattery surrounded by a flock of agro grannies dissing your team.

    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.
