It may seem Glass-Half-Empty but I have a feeling both teams will be eyeing each other off quite closely.

It would seem time for us to make a genuine submission to win by this time of the year.

Even if we were having a "late start", I cant believe any one at MFC would be happy to tank this one.

I reckon it will be a belter of a practise match (if Im right and there hasnt been a deal done to go half hearted)

I almost wish I wasnt going surfing...

Franky the surf is going to be much better Sunday morning, 4-6 ft and offshore early.

Go for a surf Sat morning, then go to to the footy, then surf Sunday morning. That's what i am doing.

Where are you heading for a paddle?

Does this mean Newton is in the squad?

Bring it on.

Wonder if he will be given more than 5 minutes a quarter and played in his rightful position.

There is no way i am missing Juice's debut in the Demons colours.

Judgement Day, well sort of.

according to Punt Road end we're up 6.5 to 2.4

wouldn't have a clue about goal kickers/best players.

again according to them these are some of the match ups:

Raines on Yze, King on Davey, Bowdenl on Neitz, Deledio on Miller, Gasper on Robertson

EDIT: Damn you YM for being 2 mins faster!

Six goals - isn't that our entire quota from last week?

Now 8.6.54 to 3.6.24

I'm out of SMS range but I'll try to get a half time summary from Fan or Scoop Junior at half time.

Is it on the Radio?

Posted

To my knowledge it is not on the radio.

One PRE poster suggested that we took our key players off towards the end of the qtr when they kicked 3 quick ones

Neita doing OK apparently - starting to "get away a bit" from bowden

Anyone know how "Chip" Frawley's travelling?

Can't get through to the guys at the ground but will let you know when I hear from them.

Finally spoke to Scoop Junior at the ground just as they were about to start the third quarter.

There's a fair bit of player rotation going on with eight players on the bench. From the selected squad Ben Holland and Byron Pickett are out as foreshadowed and palying tomorrow for the Zebras.

Melbourne dominated the game but late in the second quarter Richmond suddenly kicked into gear and reduced the Demons' 30 point lead to 11 points in fairly short time.

Goalkickers: Neitz 3 Jones Davey Green C Johnson

Best Players Carroll C Johnson (on a wing) Jones & Neitz while Travis has been quietish, his skills have shown out and he's had a hand in a few goals

Chip Frawley's been only on for the best part of 10 minutes and as you would guess, he hasn't done much.

Thanks for that WJ. Much appreciated.

We kicked the first goal of the second half but the Tiges kicking is off beam 9.8.62 to 6.10.46

Meanwhile the Vics were all out for 122 in their second dig and they miss out on the Pura Cup final.

Now I can concentrate fully on the Demons, the World Cup Cricket and the World Swimming Championships!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
