Scratch Matches 2020

Featured Replies

Interested in the concept? Will they play the full games on the Dees website? There is no other way of watching the reserves play. Is there a way to persuade them to play the games on the Dees website.

 

Would be great if they did.  Perhaps they could get the guys that did the Nth Melbourne practice match back in.  That was a great little production really. 

Always like to see the reserves and I'm glad the AFL and the clubs have got together and enabled these games to happen.  With a nearly completely fit list (for once) but also plenty of developing talent and depth, I think it's an advantage for the MFC for these games to be going ahead.

It's suppose to be about 16 a side so this is what the team could look like.

Has a scratch match against Carlton this week been locked in?


I doubt Pruess or Petty will play, they didn’t appear in the match sim. But fingers crossed

I think one of Smith or OMac will be in the curtain raiser and playing Key DEF given Lever is fit

Why don't they play Spargo in the Back Pocket they won't be able to see him.

Yep, latest injury report has Petty (groin), Preuss (Achilles) and Hore (toe) sidelined. At least a month for all of them.

Yes disappointing.

Petty is one bloke that I really want to see progress this year either as a tall back or key forward. He might be on the trade table at year end unfortunately as the Crows may dial up his number and he be tempted. 

 Preuss is fragile for a guy that looks like an absolute warrior.  

Toes must be the new AFL issue !!

Remember that anything goes with these matches . It's open to the clubs to swap players, reduce numbers etc etc

Whose Back Pocket?

I think that one of them will play and the other will be carryover emergency. So I don't think either will play.

With Hore, Preuss and Petty out. It doesn't look good for Petty. I have had to change the team.

Come on W’DEE, chuck Dunkley on a wing and place 4 Demonlanders on the interchange.

Any confirmation that there is going to be a scratch match on the weekend? Hopefully the two teams can work something out.

I reckon we stack our reserves with best 22 and focus on this match. Carlton will never see it coming.

Interesting. 

 

We are playing at Princess Park against the blues Saturday at 11 i think. Be fun to sneak in and watch

A bit strange the clubs involved in tonight’s game didn’t provide any score updates or reports for their supporters. Wonder if it was an AFL directive as the broadcasters were trialling some TV tricks.

They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
