I'd expect the 'powers to be' to play some senior players but only for a quarter or 2......A great opportunity to look at the progression & development of some of the 1st year players under game conditions & some of the players coming back from injury/rehab.

    Don't expect a host of strong players playing in this game for either side

    Are you referring to players or spectators?

    I think he meant umpires....

    I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for any big names getting much game time, let alone included.

    I'd be more curious to see how both sides have adapted to the new rule changes - 6-6-6, prior opportunity in the ruck, kicking in from a behind and also no team runners!

    I had a day off work all planned out - then the boss booked a mandatory 9am meeting on Friday....

    Well I will be there, and a squillion pie supporters,  work for Thursday then a lay day.  but its the first chance this year to see a game. Only got to 4 regular games last year so I will be one up at the start.   But I don't expect much  the scores will be irrelevant, just want to watch the younger players and those we recruited.   Come on Dees !!

    Only if we lose. If we win it will foretell a rosy future.

    Nothing exciting. I tried to jazz up the thread with a potentially controversial/leading line of thought. You answered with the most common-sense straight-forward answer. Non-sensational doesn't garner clicks = go back to internet media school. That is all.

    No point in testing oneself, against second raters, at the very least against the better players you get a more realistic idea of potential and perhaps a bit of confidence.

    From this article:

    The Demons will still field a strong line-up against Collingwood with Angus Brayshaw, who finished third in last year's Brownlow medal, Christian Petracca and James Harmes among the players set to play.

    Jake Melksham, who signed a new contract recently after an outstanding 2018, will be rested as he continues to build his fitness after a hamstring injury delayed his pre-season while recruits Steven May (hamstring) and Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) will also be sidelined.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
