Sorry Barrie, just cant feel this way. QB and finals areย all that counts for me.ย 

I hope they play some of the kids and fringe players.

I guess, we have the confidence to know that they will not play anyone on the injury or rehab list, which is quite a number of our better players.

As someone else said on another thread, I just hate practice games. A meaningless game with the heightened risk of injury.ย  Hard grounds and players a little soft.ย ย 

Very true; practice games like this one, four weeks out fromย Round 1 are fraught with some peril and risk of injury. I'd rather belt the Filth during the season, and QB is ideal. The finals would be even better if we were to [censored] them clean(ly). I hope a Casey-based team is selected for this practice match for so many reasons ...ย

....and Umpires 2 3 13 just to make it chummy

I imagine this is intended mostly as a 'live' feel-through of the new rules with active AFL umpiring and opposition. If so, seems odd that we've hooked up with Collingwood for such an exercise - possibly our closest competitor for the season ahead.

I know that both teams will be aware of each other's general game-plans and tactics soon enough once the season proper is underway, but why give away any unnecessary insights in the early planning stages?

To gain insights. And I doubt that Goodwin and Buckley will be looking to out-fox each other, so it suggests an incredibly co-operative and mature approach from both teams. It also shows the confidence our football department.

IMO both clubs have decided that there is value in playing a team both at their level, and not requiring any significant travel.

Perfect match praccieย opportunity if you ask me,

I think the proximity to eachother's bases is the likeliest explanation.

Possible team

B: JETTA, FROST, HORE

HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD

C : FRITSCH, HARMES, C.WAGNER

HF: PETRACCA, J.SMITH, NEAL-BULLEN

F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, GAWN

FOLL: PREUSS, MAYNARD, SPARROW

IC: LEWIS, VANDENBERG, HUNT, SPARGO

Canโ€™t see any upside of playing Lewis! Rather see KK or Stretch have a run.

He landed awkwardly after attempting a mark, yes no MFC training so I'm next door having a squiz

They still seem to move the ball down the wings, very loathe to bring it in the corridor

@Satyriconhome going deep into enemy territory this week.

Any other observations from the filth?

Elliott is back, looks really sharp

Playing Reid as a forward

Moore as a key defender

Cox still taking a difficult mark and dropping the easy

Maynard one of the standouts, looks a betterย player again from last year

Sidebottom being Sidebottom

Beames has done whole session

Whole session has neen a practice game


Way back at the start of preseason I dropped by after watching ourย boys train and they were doing match sim with tackling, looked serious high intensity meanwhile we were doing running and light skills.

Nathan Jones basically played down this up-coming match Vs Collingwoodย as a glorified training session.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no scoring.

What are you inferring here?


Seeing all the injuries around the league id actually be happy if this was kept to a bare minimum. Maybe 2 x 20 minute halves. Especially if the Pies ground is still rock hard.ย 

Teams that are super keen on match simulation just sound like coaches who canโ€™t create drills that replicate in game scenarios.ย

Thankย heavens that I hit an improved score off the back nine, this morning. It negated the tears and the incredibly hurtful overnight distress that I had read on DL yesterday - about poor old De Goey (from the Filth) and his significant injury. Interestingly, across the past 5 hours since arriving home, not one shred of disappointment returned.ย

"Maynard on Maynard"....bring it on,ย and "Balls on Cox".....whatever...

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinโ€™s summer of love.ย Manyย issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
