    Oliver will be our only player I’m tipping 

    Possibly Petracca? But yeah Oliver would be the only one I can think of that would be right up there.

    Hardwick and Longmire decided to change the selection rules that limited 3 players from each team to be selected.  Hardwick reasoned that fans want to see the ‘best players’... I’m not sure that’s true.  I think most fans, especially the younger ones, want to see their favourite players playing alongside the best.

    Going to watch Richmond, Collingwood and Geelong play against Brisbane, GWS and WCE isn’t going to have the same appeal.

    Depends on how this game is being viewed, if it's only an exhibition game that is a bit of fun then sure put in a more even spread of players from teams, but if it's meant to be a showcase of the skill and talent from the best players (which is what SOO is all about aside from rivalry) then yeah it's what they are doing by getting more of the best in there.

    Not gonna lie, if a few GWS and WC players pick up some cheeky little injuries going into the main season from this I might just have a little rye grin.

    No Demons for Vic, only Nev in all stars squad and will most likely be cut.

    I was going to go to this but just cancelled my tix purchase.

    No interest anymore.

    Agreed. And while we’re at it, I’d be up for scrapping any games that aren’t AFL, full stop. 
     

    This Marsh stuff? An opportunity for players to get injured in return for what? A trophy that nobody cares about. 
     

    If the point of a pre-season comp is for players to warm up a bit before the real thing, let them all warm up in the first few rounds together. The game is too intense and too injury-prone now. Any sacrifices made on the ground should be for the real thing.

    They're simply practice matches with a naming right and are televised on Foxtel. Certainly no trophy involved.

    I'm glad no more Dees than Nev were included.....& really, no one apart from Max  & Clarry would have even been considered.

    Keep them fit for round 1 I say......game v WCE will dictate our year.

    Another well timed slap in the face of our playing group. 
    No respect given. 

    (and understandably so)

    Hoping our 2020 season runs like a redemptive Tarantino movie, violent,  entertaining, and ultimately cathartic. 

    Go Demons.

    Yep.  

    It’s a hit and giggle fundraiser, but they’re competitors.  It couldn’t feel good that two of the most successful coaches of the last decade changed the rules so they wouldn’t be forced to pick you.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
