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!

    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.

    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.

    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...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
