The Dees will play a scratch match this week against North Melbourne at Arden Street. Both teams played in the first week of the Marsh Community Series and neither team has an official match this week before they both travel to Tasmania next week to play different opponents.

North Melbourne v Melbourne
Arden Street Oval, North Melbourne
Friday 28 February, 1.10pm (AEDT)

 

If I were in charge I'd pick the following team:

Injured: Gawn, May, Jones, Fritsch, Petty + Long term guys
Rested: Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Vanders, McDonald, Melksham, Langdon, Hibberd, Salem + Jetta (all stars)

Possibles: Brayshaw, Chandler, J Smith

FB: Hore  Oscar   J Wagner
HB: Harmes  Lever  Lockhart
C : Tomlinson  Sparrow  Baker
HF: ANB   Brown  Hunt
FF: Pickett  Weideman  Bedford
Foll: Jackson  Jordon  Spargo
Int: Bradtke, Rivers + Casey players

Anyone know of ticketing detail / availability for this pre season scratch match?

Unless something has changed recently, it's like Gosch's anyone can just walk up to the oval boundary fence. Take a look on street view.

G'day DS, don't necessarily disagree with your team.

Just after an opinion around continuing to build the connection between the likely 1st rounders and also working on some of the deficiencies. Perhaps a squad of 28 and limit the time played by those you have suggested sit out. Perhaps even 2 teams by halves. The likely 22 in the first half?

I overheard someone at the family day mentioned that one of the players said that the team would be made up of mostly under 23s.

Well that would be 15 players including Oliver and Weid. You did say mostly. So that does leave some interesting selections.

I think I would give Melksham another run, he looked out of touch on Saturday.  I am not sure that #31 is injured, if not, give him a run too.  Still curious about Jayden. i.e. is he injured or on the outer.

#31 has a knee infection. Not sure of prognosis/availability.


Would make sense to build this around younger players and players who missed Marsh 1. Long season ahead.

Also, they may still be wanting to get more of a fitness base into them (best done/managed outside of having to play games).

As long as it doesn't develop into knee-monia.

You can see yourself out thanks!

Anyone else going along?

Yeah, heading down at this stage. Only chance to see some of the boys live before the real stuff begins.

I wonder if Weideman will get a chance to play forward. Seems unfair to play him out of position all pre season and judge him on that. I guess we don't have too many other ootions

Am I correct in thinking the game will be available to watch on the club website after the fact as myself and many others have work commitments.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
