    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).

    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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
