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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
