Bit annoyed as I had organised to get off work early that day to be at the game (in Perth).  Such is life.

    what I want to see is:

    - how Luke Jackson plays up forward and in the ruck (when chopping out)

    - Where Tom McDonald is played. (hoping its either forward or not selected). The last thing I want is Tom McDonald played up the field making decisions. God help us.

    - Bowey/Laurie/Rosman: if selected, how is their form and where are they played.

    - Where Harmes is played. (hopefully in the middle).

    - Growth from T.Rivers.

    - How Ben Brown operates in the forward line and whether it straightens us up.

    Better than going to freo. However with aflw and the pre season comp they have already started messing around with the fixture. This is not a good sign of things to come.

    Can't wait to be sent to Cairns again with the season on the line and no direct flights.. If I didn't hate the AFL anymore.. Look at how much travel the dogs did last year and they were still bang on average!

    Living in the UK I obviously admire the fact that Australia (and NZ for that matter) have managed very few COVID cases over the last year, but I think unless the states allow some kind of regular flow with minimal community cases (and I'm not necessarily saying they should) I think the season will again be disrupted. When I say minimal I'm talking 1 or 2 random cases in a day type thing, Victoria obviously found out what happens if it gets out in a flash.

    I don't think we can actually know the full extent of the strain that the hubs had on the players, coaches, and support staff. I doubt a hub will be something they want so it will be interesting to see how they decide to proceed if borders start shutting again.

    Any word on when/if we can get tickets?

    I got an email from the AFL membership department a couple of weeks ago:

    Monday 1 March online sales - 12pm for members. 3pm for the public.

    I assume more details will come to light when Andrews winds back the restrictions tomorrow.

    Not at all.

    Pre season games haven’t been televised on FTA for a number of years.

    Got my ticket. I had to add a $0 junior ticket to my order though otherwise it wouldn't go through. So I have more tickets than I need. Some people saying they need to add one junior ticket for each full member ticket they are trying to redeem. What a mess.

    I'm a bit confused by this. Can members get in for free or not? I don't recall receiving anything from the club about this. How would I find a code if I don't have the email?

    Pretty sure it's all members (assuming tickets still available). Your code is the number above the barcode on your card.

    The emails are for people who haven't received their cards and membership packs.

    The only silver lining is that these games won’t be on channel 7.

    Sorry but the AFL game opens the season on 18th on Ch 7 with regular Clubs Tigers and Blues!!!

    I assume there only 1 preseason game?  so this and then round one, 12 days later?  makes getting the team match fit pretty tough.  expect some poor skills and busted guts in round 1. especially not being used to long games

    I guess there won't be a B game as the others will be playing VFL practice match on the Saturday.

    Luke Beveridge was on SEN this morning and I’m almost certain i heard him say the Dogs v Casey game is on Monday morning at the Whitten Oval. Wonder if that game is open to the public.

    Bought myself a zero cost ticket for the big game on Monday.

    Will watch the parade and  perhaps some water ski ing before heading to the match and then finishing off with the fireworks.

    Yep life as an MFC supporter is lived in a time warp.

    Wonder what the Gas and Fuel float will look like this year

    Does anyone know when the team sheet for both the Casey game and the Melbourne game might be released ?

    Can't do the linkety-link-link thing, but The Age is reporting that Daw will have a run with Casey and that "the smokey" Jordon is looking to be a likely round one starter.

    Would be great if he earned a round 1 spot.  He can take Viney's spot. 

    interesting to see what he can do, he looks a lot more mature now

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
