Well, going off the side picked, we can expect indefinite to mean available by around Rd 4 or 5 - great news!

I think it does the Weid good to get pushed into the ruck a bit - gets him a bit angry, fired up and into the game physically.

Probably more likely than a Spargo, Kossie, Lockhart combo.

Yes. The idiocy of my comment probably wasn't apparent by virtue of its idiotic extent.

I just saw Weid's name to the left on the followers-line and assumed he was named as a mid.

Seems I forgot we don't have any other ruckmen, and also forgot to check who how ruck actually was.

Jumped to the conclusion that we were about to unleash our new two-metre mid sensation. 

Either A) I'm free MFCSS and have ignored most of our inconsequential injury reports.

Or  B) Am riddled with MFCSS and just accepted that Weid would start as mid to cover injuries.

Paging Joel Smith!!

Ironically he is an emergency 


I'm guessing a few of the named blokes don't actually play.

Look what that team sheet has done to the enthusiasm in here after last week's injury woes. Same will be going on in most Dees supporters houses.

Are you implying that the released team sheet is just MFC propaganda to lift supporters spirits only for a good ole bait and switch to happen on match day?

 

Lazy post/can't be bothered with the leg-work. 

Is the match going to be streamed somewhere?

Well that means he definitely won't play then.  We'd rather leave someone running around on the ground with a broken leg in a practice match than play short or call up an emergency. ?

Cheers FND. But I have no idea if any of that means the match will be live-streamed for free or not. I'm currently overseas, but will probably be in your hood around the time of our first real fixture: where's the best place up north nowadays to watch the real stuff?

I am hopeful it doesn't pan out that way, but we will see

I don't believe there is any free streaming options.

It's LIVE on Fox Footy which is obviously a Pay TV service. If you have foxtel you can stream it via their app. As you are overseas you would not be able to view it due to their geo-location lock unless you are using a VPN.

If you pay for the Kayo app you will be able to watch it LIVE and later on demand. This is also a paid service but as an added bonus you get almost every other sport as well. I'm not sure whether they have a trial period which you could cancel before payment. As you're overseas you will have the same geo-location lock unless you have a VPN.

As you are overseas you can use the AFL's Watch AFL app which caters to the overseas market. You can watch LIVE or on demand. This is also a paid service but you can get weekly, monthly or yearly subscriptions which you can cancel at any time. If you are overseas you do not need a VPN. 

If you don't understand any of this then OK Boomer. :P

The Central is the AFL pub in town. Has a big screen and cold beers.

When are you thinking of coming up? It has been a bit tropical up here lately

Haha. I'm not a Boomer but I still have no idea. I was born in the brief border years between Gen X and the Millennials: most of us are clueless about both camps. We're also mostly all broke for getting caught in between: hence no spare Kayo cash. I had the Watch AFL subscription last year, but paying to get up at 5am in the morning for a couple hours of regular humiliation always felt rather harsh, regardless of my bdsmfc tendencies.

Still the Central? I'm seen many a glorious victory there, as well as a few horrible defeats dating back before the big-screens: including our 2000 prelim win over the Roos, and our crazy 2002 finals loss against the Crows.

Very good ! 

I am always surprised that some people still think you can get sports free.

It is best to start with the principle that if I cannot go to the event then it is going to cost.

If you don't want to pay / cannot then read reviews like here on Demonland.

Those are your options in the 21st century.

I've got Foxtel currently by really only use it for sport.

For those who use Kayo - what are your thoughts on the service?  Happy with it?  Not happy with it?  I'm thinking seriously about making the change.

I've mainly used Kayo on Desktop and Mobile and i've found it easy to use and good value at $25 a month. There is a great variety of sport and you can also watch the live Foxtel channels on the app as well.

You can usually get a free 1 month trial before having to pay anything.

Perhaps we should change the name of the injury list to the not fully match fit list if that is more palatable for you. 

Maybe you could call it "The NQR Squad".

Thanks for the info mate, much appreciated.

I'm also keen to hear others thoughts on Kayo. I use foxtel and chromecast it but its pretty average quality a lot of the time. Wondering if Kayo might be better? I remember borring a mates and it worked a lot smoother potentially.

 

I have a Kayo subscription, streams through my Telstra tv box. I've no complaints with it.

It's excellent, I haven't had any issues. If you only use Foxtel for sport you should definitely make the switch.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.
