I think they're in the same boat as us in terms of listed players being available for this game.

Yep, just slipped over to Bomber Blitz (it's ok, I've showered since) and they sound very much like us and will be relying on a few members that are attending to give updates. I wonder if the Demon twitter feed might get a workout?

As a side note; I don't make a habit of visiting other fan sites but my clear impression is; none of them come close to the functionality and visual excellence of DL. Kudos to you Andy.

    I'd be disappointed if it didn't. Hopefully a few of the Demonland faithful will be there to fill in any gaps.

    I spoke today to an Essendon insider who feels that the Bombers will field a reasonable squad. Given that this will be their best team because they don’t have a Marsh Cup game over the weekend, they should be too strong for our second string team missing a large number of players through injury.

    That smells like you are preparing us for a big loss WJ.

    I will still go but would like to have an idea of what Melbourne players will be playing.

    Given they're not in the team or 8 man bench for the Crows game tomorrow or they're injured.

    Any of the following could play

    Bedford

    Jordon

    Rivers

    Hunt

    Hore

    Chandler

    C Wagner

    Bradtke

    Tell me, what would be a bigger worry (Not for us)? Basically a seconds Melbourne getting flogged? Or a decent Essendon side fighting a hard fought win and only winning by a couple of goals?

    Cue the usual suspects still slashing their wrists over losing the game by 8 goals when we're only fielding a small handful of AFL listed players.

    Going along with our pre season theme, have we started an hour early, before oppo arrives, and built up a big lead yet?

    We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

    Players are in full panic mode.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
