just wondering if anyone knows where we are playing in the nab challenge next week?

Who cares? The nab challenge is irrelevant according to most posters!

Some bloke on Bigfooty reckons we play Richmond at Princes Park on Saturday.

Would be good if true.

We really should start to get fair dinkum as our pre-season had been a disgrace so far. Yes we've had our senior players out but so did Adelaide and Hawthron.

It's a pity we're not playing at Subi - maybe next week.

All the practice we can get over West would be good escpecially with a closer to full strength side..

I see it is expected to be 32C on Saturday. However, it is going to be 31C in Perth after a series of 40C days. Phew.

FWIW, given the expected temperature why dont they schedule the practice match earlier in the day to avoid the heat of the day?

I just dont see the value or the sense playing AFL football in that sort of conditions.

They did exactly that last year with a Kangaroos V Collingwood practice match at Princes park.

It was a really hot saturday arvo, and they bought the game forward to 11am.

They might do this again?

Might be a bit of relief from the carry and run too with Princes Park having the classic cricket ground configuration. It's those grounds with the straight boundaries that are causing all the strife and consternation. If they have pass-outs I might even think about going.

No worries at Princes Park there Champ. Old fashioned ground, old fashioned attendants. You can even access under the grandstands and into various rooms by looking as if you know where you're going. I waltzed past one attendant by saying I was just going to the loo. 'No worries mate'. Not that it's a Disney tour by any stretch. You can escape any time you choose.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
