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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
