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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
