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

wow that backline is tiny @WERRIDEE

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.

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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
