Melbourne

Game 1: v Adelaide, Casey Fields (4.40pm AEDT, Saturday, February 22)
Game 2: v Hawthorn, University of Tasmania Stadium (7.40pm AEDT, Friday, March 6)

Players to watch
Luke Jackson: With Max Gawn and Braydon Preuss sidelined with knee injuries, last year's No.3 overall draftee, who has been likened to Brodie Grundy, will get a chance to show his wares on a bigger scale than initially planned. 
Mitch Brown: Just how the ex-Bomber fits in as a third forward-line tall will be interesting, or if he'll be considered to take his 196cm frame into the ruck given the Gawn and Preuss situation.
Kysaiah Pickett: Described as physical, exciting and fast, the small forward is a walking highlights reel. Is capable of providing the spark in the forward line the Dees need.

What's new
Acclaimed fitness expert Darren Burgess has been cracking the whip in his first pre-season with the club with the players running for longer; their recent documentary To Hell And Back revealing they covered up to 37km one week in November, which is more than they did in any weeks the previous pre-season. With Simon Goodwin admitting in the same documentary "we got our whole summer wrong" last year, there's been big changes to the way they've approached the fitness side of things this time around.

Adelaide Crows

Game 1: v Melbourne at Casey Fields (4.40pm AEDT, Saturday, February 22)
Game 2: v Gold Coast at Flinders University Stadium, Noarlunga Downs (4.20pm ACDT, Friday, March 6)

Players to watch
Chayce Jones: The Tasmanian speedster has been one of the stars on the track over the summer. Has added size and should get more time through the midfield in his second season.
Fischer McAsey: The sixth overall pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft has been turning heads during pre-season training with his intercept marking. The key defender could play in the early rounds.
Tyson Stengle: Kicked five goals in the club's intraclub game last weekend to put himself in the box seat for a small forward role. Only played two senior games last season, but the frontrunner to take the spot vacated by Eddie Betts.

 

 

Gawn, Preuss, T Mac, Petty, May all injured.  Sheesh.

Just as well we drafted LJ and signed Mitch Brown.

Does anyone know if there is likely to be a membership booth at the ground?

The answer to this is most likely yes. Someone probably knows.

But if you asked a question like. Will there be a membership booth at the ground? You may get the answer you're looking for. But I have no idea. :laugh: When does the footy start? Does anyone know?

Not having a dig, just hanging out for some footy


Actually can't believe the footy is back this Saturday.  Feel like it's only been gone for a month.

Keen to get a look at a few of the draftees and the young kids while getting through unscathed.

 

Thanks lads, I was too lazy to look up the horrible new AFL website

Rough guess at some kind of squad. It's hard to see more than 5 guys playing against Essendon on Friday.

Doesn't matter though.  If the other five who don't play get a good run on Friday then it's still a win.  The more game time we get into the legs of all players, the better off we'll be.

Ah, don't be like that Andy!  The best is yet to come - frustration, anger, sadness, depression.  You can't tell me you've missed those feelings... ?

This latest incarnation of both the AFL & Official site are terrible.

Also the related Apps, and other content, extending to related sites/services. Been round the houses for yet another year getting my international WatchAFL subscription up and running.

Too graphically demanding on PC's.

Too much large imagery. I do not like it either.


Strangely one of the players I’m most keen to see this week is Brown, given our depth issues with KPF and TMac going slowly right now I feel like this is a big opportunity for him to show his worth to the club. 

Gawn being injured also will probably mean we have to rotate himself, LJ, and Weids through the ruck throughout the match. 

Bit annoying to see the line that Adelaide has a close to full list to choose from. I just wish we’d get some luck for once.

I hope they are not paying much.

 

Every year this preseason competition leaves us with a major injury or more to a key player or players. Who will it be this year?

The AFLW should be on a separate site.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
