Nathan seemed to be training well today so I don't know why he wouldn't play, especially when Roos stated that we would be fielding our best side.

Our strongest fit side. It wouldnt make sense to risk our captain and arguably one of our most important players, for the nab challenge. The whole idea of the nab challenge is obviously to shake of some rust but also give the young guys a taste

Squad named, Weideman, Hulett miss out

 

Jones and Vince obvious absent

will be great to Oliver, Wagner.  also Hunt and Frost

3 players to be dropped from the squad by satdy: maybe M Jones, O Mac and ANB?

the team has a real young feel to it. not many over 24, in fact, not that many over 22 yo!

 

Who will captain in place of Jones?

So who's our midfield leader in that group? Viney? Tyson? Maybe Gawn...

Easily Viney.  He'll go banana's in the middle and set the tone for the rest of the players.

Pretty good side picked, very interested to see how we go against pretty strong opposition.

Agree. Quite like playing against a strong Port side. Their spread against us last year was unbelievable, would be good to see how we have developed over the off season.

Was it last year Viney kicked across the face of goal in the NAB cup straight to an opposition player who goaled straight away?

We've been called 'the young demons side' for the past 50 years.

Hey boys and girls. 

I’ve never before set foot in 'lizbeth, but I’m going to risk the pearly-whites and pop over to Playford on Sat for a squiz. I know it’s televised, but anything in particular the people here would like me to keep a close eye on in person?

Keep a close eye on your wallet for a start. Dont talk to strangers. On a football note, let us know how Salem goes and whether his role is solely off half back or he moves about a little.

The only one that springs to mind is someone kicked across goal straight to Ty Vickery.

I remember all the kicks across our face of goal against Freo.

Into 29: Boak, Broadbent, Ebert, Hartlett, R. Gray, Wines, Wingard, Lobbe, Impey, Schulz, Pittard, Hombsch, Westhoff

Some handy inclusions.

Makes the game much more interesting and exciting!

A port supporter on big footy literally just called this game 'the Viney cup.' Facepalm... I hope we won't beat those flogs.

How ridiculous. Obviously they should be playing for the Matthew Bishop trophy.

(and what's with those last 7 words?)

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
