Wasn't told much about it as a concept. So not sure if it's just a sometime thing or a more settled role, but given he was our number 1 for tackles inside 50 last year (and he got his first goal that way in the VFL practice match too!) I would be VERY surprised if it was a full time role.

Just happy they are trying things a bit outside the box.   A few of Kossies runs through the backline and midfield were some of his most scintillating pieces of play last year.  You  get the sense he is going to be much more valuable than a forward pocket in the long run.  With his skillset he may well end up the Liam Ryan type, creating nightmares for opposition up and down the ground.  Only his 2nd year, we got a ripper here i reckon!

 

My pre game team this is the last one I promise.

B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER

HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, HUNT

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BOWEY

HF: PICKETT, MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN

F: FRITSCH, GAWN, CHANDLER

FOLL: JACKSON, OLIVER, BRAYSHAW

IC: HARMES, JONES, MELKSHAM, RIVERS

EMERG: JORDON, SPARROW, VANDENBERG, BAKER

Who’s going to use injures as an excuse if we get done considering Freo are missing their forward fire power in Walters and Lobbe as well as a few other best 22 players?

Lol probably me. I’ve drunkenly thrown my scarf in a bin Rd 1 before so I’ll need something to convince there is some light in some tunnel somewhere so I don’t chuck another scarf.

Gee i'm not sure Bowey is ready? Happy to eat me words and hat if he has a blinder!

And will The Pig be ready?

I’m confident we will beat Freo because Walters is out and Taberner has been poor in the preseason games. I don’t know who will score for them. Defences will be on top but I think in Fritsch, Petracca and Max (reckon he’ll clunk a few inside 50 and convert) we will score 2-3 more goals than them.

I reckon they will play Fyfe fwd 70% and leave the midfield to the young lads. 

hopefully May can handle Fyfe. We cant let him have a clear run and jump at the ball

Ditto.    But I can’t get down, so it’s down to the local and I hope some other poor sod will be watching. So we can cheer or cry foul.

Go you mighty Demons !!

If you lose x% of your best 22, by definition you're going to underperform, and that's true even if you win.

Whether that underperforming team will be enough, time will tell.

Burgess was on Gus and Gawn podcast, didn't talk much injury news but Benny Gibson mentioned a few 

Salem was precautionarily left out of the Box Hill game but expected to be available

Hibbard, Kozzie and Gus as we know all played and should be available

But by the sounds of it Melksham's not ruled out yet but very unlikely, Viney we already knew

And Joel Smith just about snapped his finger off

Awesome, cheers.  Likely to have Salem, Gus, Kozzie and Hibbo out there.  No excuses!

Not thrilled... lovely day to sit in the sunshine and it's allocated level 1 undercover as best available in the AFL reserve.

My usual seating for a game like this is half a stand to myself on level 3.

Will I bother going... not sure

You can bet your last $ Bing that if we lose the media and us long suffering supporters will get stuck into the players and Goody. Then if we win the media will say we beat a depleted team. We do not win any which way which is the norm with us until we get some consistent performances in.

Lobb is a dud and we will have bigger outs than them.

Still no excuses of course.

Did you get a follow up SMS from ticketek after you booked it?

I'm still waiting for mine but I'm assuming you can access the ticket via email.

you can access via email. two of my three tickets came via sms about 40 mins later.

I didn’t receive an sms at first but contacted Ticketek via Twitter and they reissued the tickets and I got the sms then (they were quite quick actually). I didn’t see the barcode to scan on the confirmation email so I would be wary of assuming you can access the ground via the ‘confirmation’ email.

the email contains individual links for each ticket beneath the "important ticket delivery information" section close to the bottom of the email. Click the link and it takes you to the ticket. 

Somehow Ive ended up in the Ponsford stand...for a home game as a Redlegs member...weird but whatever I dont mind the Ponsford

 

Got tix, but my wife and I are on opposite wings. Couldn't work out how to get two at a time (drop down only gave 1 as an option - 1 per barcode, even though we had both ready to go). So that's pretty crap. I mean, very glad to be going, but not a great user exp. which seems typical of MFC on their platforms. Or I could have missed something, I suppose...

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
