    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).

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
