Carlton, Melbourne, Richmond and Essendon took part in a scratch match this afternoon … at the same time.

The game saw a squad of 16 Carlton players taking on various amalgamations of the other three Victorian teams.

The Demons and Tigers are undermanned given they have players either in quarantine, injured or back in Victoria, while the Bombers have a lengthy injury list themselves. 

Richmond, Melbourne and Essendon rotated their available players through the scrimmage, with some swapping teams to play for Carlton at times in the last quarter to accommodate for players on limited minutes.

The Demonic Bombing Tigers got the win over the Blues, but scratch matches are to be taken with many grains of salt - especially this one.

Tom McDonald (Melbourne), Mitch Brown (Melbourne), Tom Cutler (Essendon), Sydney Stack (Richmond), Oleg Markov (Richmond) and Charlie Spargo (Melbourne) were among the players on the opposition team.

Interesting. Bit of a dog's breakfast to me. At least they get a run

I feel sick, Melb and Ess players?! I hope Spargo was able to lead all of the Dons players away to an unsanctioned, quarantine breaking party. Best he’ll do for us this year.

Just bizarre how footy has come to this..

Quite sad actually.

I don’t think it’s said at all.  This is absolutely brilliant that teams are coming together for the greater good.

Of course its good that teams are coming together. We all expected that.

But we're long way off until we seen the rich tradition of having Saturday or Sunday Casey reserves playing. I miss tuning in to see how our VFL side was going during game day.

Going by the report and solitary pic on the Blues’ website we provided the jumpers and Richmond the socks. 

Like the improvising but not the fact they labelled the team Rich-bourne Bombers.

scores?

Only Carlton provided details and they didn't include a score just that the amalgamated team won.

from the article: "The other three teams (Melbourne, Richmond & Essendon) are yet to provide details on their side of the outing."

Further to that the Carlton Website articles list that Carlton's reserves kicked 6 goals so TMac could have kicked 7.

Agreed Dee

They should have been called the Essenmond Demons

I hope Owies has a long and successful career, but also with lots of one-week injuries just so we can see the team sheet "Out:  Owies (injured)".  I'm sure one day he will make a great forward line alongside Booboo, Ouchi and Prang.

Good idea and I did wounder how long it would take for this to be come an eventuality.

Takes me back to junior and my reserves footy days.  Was pretty common place to for someone to loan the opposition some players if they were way too short, so at least everyone got a game.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
