    I'm going along and being a local resident here's a few tips for food and bevvies.

    A new Woolies supermarket opened recently three minutes walk away under the new high rise units (which you can't miss) which has a cafe, sushi station, hot pre-prepared food down the back section, a bakery with all the usual stuff you'd find at Bakers Delight and a bottle shop.

    If that's not enough there's a dog park opposite the supermarket which has a cafe across the road. Further down Macaulay Rd, one minute further, past the Boundary Rd intersection, there's a caf that does burgers, chips, salads etc. 

    You won't go hungry or dry depending on your need.

    As far as access is concerned, I've always just walked into Arden St.

    Interesting that Pickett is playing but not Jackson.

    Bradtke rucking. That will be interesting to watch

    Who will captain the side?

    Gus? Melksham?

    I don't really think it matters in a practice game, although one of those two would make sense, even if it is just to toss the coin.  With the new approach they would expect everyone to step up and be a leader for the game.

    Good to see us giving the kids another run, while also getting some game time into those who have missed part of the pre-season.  Outcome doesn't matter, the fitness is what we're after.  I'd say we would play close to our strongest side next week in Tassie against the Hawks.

    I don't know much about North's players, is that a good side or  mostly second graders like ours.

    If he is up against Daw it is going to be a one sided affair.

    I’m sure your right Moonie, but I’m also sure it will be a proud moment for whoever leads out the team onto the field - probably their only chance to do so, ever.

    A bit of a mix.  There is no Higgins, Cunnington, Ziebell, Goldstein etc. but they do have some of their best 22 in there.  Probably no different to us really.

    And we do have some Casey boys playing.  One of them might be a ruckman, plus Daw plays in the backline now.

    Let's hope it's their only chance as it means both Gawn and Viney stay injury free.

    And I'm proud to be called Moonie.  Like the captains, might be the only chance I get. :)

    He'll be playing majority of the year in the VFL. Good depth for them.

    Sad how this has turned out for him.

    Bradtke the only ruck and I suppose Melksham is the captain, interesting. Not sold on this one too much of a reserve side for this match.


    Not much of a forward line...Fritsch, Brown and Melksham only. 

    Still it is a good opportunity to give the likes of Jordan, Hore, Rivers, Baker , Bedford, Bradtke and Wagners a run. 

     

    I suppose that means we can take C.Wagner, Angus and Bayley off the injury list?

    North I'd say have 16 of their best 28 playing (probably 10-11 of best 22) the 16 have been or will be regular senior players? I'd say we have 10-12 who'd fit that top 28-30 category of which probably only 5-6 are in best 22 though.? Their side looks stronger I'd suggest.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
