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

 

edit: typo

Edited by Darkhorse72

 

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.

Is it going to be on free-to-air? ?

 

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

Got my tickets!  Hitting the Medalion Club, doin it classy

Can't wait. first time seeing the boys play since 2019.  and it's not a proper game so I might relax and enjoy it!

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.

Viney and Brayshaw ruled out.  Have another go big boy


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

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
