    No such thing as 'only a scratch match' !   This is the only MFC action this week as we arent playing March series.

    Important first hit out of the season for two of your young stars in Brayshaw and Fristch.

    Pickett on show again.  Another chance for Mitch brown to impress ahead of Round 1.

    Jordon, Rivers, Sparrow., Bradtke....  so much potential there.

    Can Bedford step up and show what hes capable of?

    I'm still surprised that Luke Jackson isn't playing. I get that they want to manage the loads of the younger players and perhaps they have him earmarked for early senior games so they don't want him to burn out. If that isn't the case then I'm baffled that he isn't playing in this game where he can get a taste of the ruck or play as a key forward or even some midfield minutes. I hope it's not this weeks mystery injury of the week.

    It also could mean that they are still unsure of when Gawn will be back, so safe guarding our depleted ruck stocks.

    The fact that we have to add 8 VFL players versus only 1 by North suggests to me we are going into this game under manned.

    My gut feel suggests like last week we will be in for a poor result scores wise.

    That's what I'm also getting with a bit of audio from the game in the background.

    Same, may change soon though.

    On my count we have 4-5 best 22 players and they have 13-14 so it will be a bit of a flogging me thinks

    this is a bit disappointing. At least i can see others have the same issue and its not my PC, or inability to log in using my memebership.

    Working Now!

    Which doesn't matter one bit.  Why would it?

    It's all about fitness and getting some run into the legs.  Nothing more.

    Exactly I hate losing as much as the next guy but this scratch match is about getting run in the legs, game time into kids and hopefully no injuries.

    Goal to Spargo. 

    Was it Bedford with the nice pass?  Obviously this isn't top line stuff so they didn't zoom in when it went into our forward line.  It was good movement though.

    As Burgess has previously stated, it's about getting the miles into the legs for the entire list, ready for round 1.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
