Special Treatment

alpha33
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

After five years out of the broadcasting game, Channel Seven will use a Melbourne intra-club match at Telstra Dome next Tuesday to get re-acquainted with the specifics of AFL coverage.

The Demons have been given special treatment by being able to use the ground for a practice game even though the AFL stands strong in heavily restricting training on the ground.

    Does that mean the match will be broadcast on 7 or is that me just dreaming?

    Otherwise, is the TD open to the public to watch?

    I doubt that it will be broadcast but you will definately be able to go and watch.

    What time is it ?

    Great timing for those who work 9-5 :rolleyes: Hopefully the usual suspects around here can wag work again and give us a comprehensive report on each and every player.

    If channel 7 telecast the game they'd rate about 0.00001. I think it's just a full dress rehearsal for the commentary and TV crew.

    We will register our first win at the Dome for this season. :lol:

    Thanks Ian Johnson, good to have a Melbourne supporter in high places. Might have to enter this into my Diary and get there.

    Is it worth suggesting that having a bit of time on that ground will benefit us this season? Or will there be no difference at all. Better than nothing I 'spose.

    Great work Occo.

    Cheers for that. Hope to see a few people there!!

    I e-mailed the club today...the game might not be open to the public...they are trying to negotiate on our behalf to open gate 2.

    The club will know for sure on monday if we can watch.

    Bruce is going to absolutely wet himself once he gets Davey in his sights.

    I can't wait.

    Oh, for heaven's sake. It would be an absolute outrage if they don't allow a few hundred supporters of the game that the stadium was built for to watch their team involve itself in a match simulation event.

    After all, they're opening it up to a foreign code on Sunday night and letting 50,000 supporters in to wreak possible havoc and destruction over there.

    I mean it's not as if we're Collingwood supporters, is it? :lol:

    I can understand y the dome wouldnt want us there.

    a) rubbish and litter

    B) Insurance and liability issue if someone got injured

    Obviously we wont be paying money to enter and if someone got injured they would be liable. Hopefully they will allow us out of good will but i understand where there coming from 2

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
