Hey guys I was just wondering how many of you will be turning up to this game? I know alot of you have the "I Don't care about the pre season" attitude, but it's a great chance to see those players who have been out injured, back in action and of course our new recruits. I for one will be going, should be good. :)

    Would love to go, but there is a little issue called 'work' getting in my way <_< :(

    Whether you care about the results or not, it is still a good opportunity to go watch the team play, be it badly and without care, but they're still wearing red & blue!

    Yep will be there. Live in Parkville so no excuses.

    Looking forward to it and I'll be on Yze watch.

    Might even do a player by player summary after the match.

    That would be great, for those of us living in Sydney, Brisbane, etc, who cant make it down to MC Labour Park on Saturday

    Looking forward to it

    More likely it'll be low 30's and sunny, you'll have to work a bit harder on the beers.

    Thats cool if dees-rule-4-eva does one as well.

    It will be good for people not going to the game to get more than one perspective.

    My report will be focussing more on a player by player summary and a score out of 10.

    Hope to get it released by 6:00pm Saturday night.

    No prob, mine won't be too in depth. People who have read my match reports before will know I just give an outline of the game and best players.

    Let me do a bit of crystal balling and guess what some peoples match reviews will say:

    "Yze hardly got a kick, looked disinterested and soft, should be dropped for Round 1"

    "Brad Miller, WTF?"

    "Godders was Godders"

    "Nathan Jones carved them up, but only for a half"

    "Chris Johnson looked comfortable at this level"

    "Mark Jamar hardly touched the ball around the ground, and Paul Johnson was hopeless in the hitouts"

    Seems like I hardly need to go therefore, but probably will anyway.

    PS. By the way, dont get me wrong I really appreciate the match reports people do, hopefully no offence is taken

    That would be alright by me

    As DemonStorm said it certainly suckcks not living in victoria to see any of these games, but i have got used to being snubbed by sydney reporters (newspaper and tv) regarding the dees

    Perfect!

    When I meant cool, I was just hoping it wouldn't be 39 - 40.

    Just wondering = is it going to be humid?

    Hope it is not for u guys because it will be an absolute stinker if it is, even if it is in the low 30s :blink:

    The reason i am saying this is because where i live in sydney it has been pretty humid in the last week :mellow:

    No offence taken mate. And you are probably spot on with the comments I'll make. I'd like to add to that list ... writing some glowing reports about Bruce, Green & Pickett would make my day.

    Where is this place anyway??

    Not sure if this was a serious question, but it's at the ground formerly known as Optus Oval (and before that, Princes Park).

    I'd go along, but I'll be playing cricket.

    Paid up but got no card yet, hope it comes today or tomorrow. I'd rather not donate $10 to the AFL.

    We seem to be going in with a much stronger squad this week.

    Senior Listed Players not named in the squad for Saturday:

    McLean (inj)

    Paul Johnson

    Sylvia (inj)

    Petterd

    Garland

    Newton

    Godfrey

    Wheatley (inj)

    Weetra

    Warnock (inj)

    Neville

    Bartam (inj)

    We have to cut 2-4 players.

    You'd think TJ may miss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
