im already fired up for the first practice match, and even get to see the girls play after.

will be interesting to see how Goody sets up and who plays where.

does anyone know if you need to pre-book tickets (as the womens matches are popular)?

    As this is the first Dogs game after a GF win and their girls are playing as well I would think your chances are next to nil.

    I had a similar issue with the GWS vs Dees womens' game that is on as a curtain raiser to the GWS v Swans JLT match out in Sydney's wild wild west at Blacktown.  I phoned the MFC and was told that I don't need to book, but just show up with my (and my son's) membership cards and we will be scanned in for free.  Hopefully being the opening game and not involving two Sydney clubs, crowds won't be an issue... but once scanned in, we have the option of staying for the JLT match as well.

    I'd be contacting someone at GWS to double check because they'll be hosting the game I guess and the Dees staff might not know much about what will happen up there. Does a Melbourne membership get you in to a GWS v Sydney men's game, that's my query?

    That said, even with the Swans involved will a preseason GWS game in Western Sydney sell out? Should be right one way or the other.

    Anyone know when they usually release the team lists? Usually Thursday or something right?

    I've had an email regards the WCE game at Subi. Same deal, it's GA but to ensure a seat upgrade ect etc.

    My only concern is that if I do upgrade, do I actually get allocated a seat as opposed to looking for something better, given the stadium holds ~35k... The usual interstate seats are plain terrible.

    In the past pre season games at Subi have been just sit where you want. I wouldn't bother with the upgrade a Thursday night you're hardly going to get more than 20k attending. And the stadium holds around 42 to 43k

    I reckon after we've towelled up the Dogs and Blues the fair-weathered WCE supporters will give it a miss anyhow.

    Well this has snuck up quickly. 

    I'm not too sure what to expect from this game. Hopefully our players blow the cobwebs out after a long pre-season and we see young and inexperienced players like Weideman, Oliver and that young up and comer Jordan Lewis have a crack for a starting 22 position.

    Provided he plays this weekend, I'm looking forward to watching Hibberd out in the red and blue for the first time. He's my early smoky for a top 5 Best and Fairest placing.

    I am not overly worried about the result but I am looking forward to seeing some competitive footy and having the chance to get a look at some of the individual performances from the younger players.

    Will be looking to see how Oliver gets up for his second season after a full pre-season. Petracca, Brayshaw and The Wied are the others i will be watching closely.

    Thanks

    I thought it may have been something to do with that famous guy who got shot in Dallas the year before our last flag, or maybe that guy who now wears #24 for us.  They have somewhat similar acronyms, and initials confuse me SQcM.

    JLT insure a number of suburban leagues.

    Really have no chance to watch this live on Saturday, you will need to get to the Kennel by 12pm to get in. All the feral Bulldogs supporters on a massive high will be out in force.

    Just bought my ticket – I wasn't able to purchase a General Admission Grandstand Seat (which was one of the options) so I assume they are sold out.

    I'll have to slum it on Ground Level – Never been to the ground so hoping for a good viewing experience.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
