    Are these games televised? 

    No.

    The club might do a live stream at best.

    The stream last year against Nth Melbourne was great- hopefully they can arrange it again.

    And they also did a pretty good stream the year before against Collingwood at Olympic Park.

    Fingers crossed we can get another.

    We will get a live stream for sure.  Whether that be via the Demon or Tigers website or both.

    Good to start amongst the best

    lol, you always say stuff like that, as if we actually learn something from being mauled by a premiership contender. ?

    As always, it's the young kids I'm most interested in. Also to see who is played on the left wing opposite Langdon and whether any of our new coaches has made a difference to our inside 50's.

    Best way to find out anything is to play good teams. We need to plan to beat them, not just be “competitive”

    It's a practice game. The coaching staff will say the result is unimportant and that we needed to work on our set plays/game style/inside 50 "connections" etc.

    I'd take a win any time, but mostly hope for zero injuries and a look at the kids.

    A three day practice game should sort out the fitness levels anyway.

    I hear you, but our list has to learn how to beat opponents, not just turn up and put in a good performance,  our kids will only get better once they know what pressure is

    My well placed Tigers source said there will be a 6 quarter scratch match vs the Tigers this Thursday at Casey.

    Thanks mate.

    Spalding suggested that the game at Casey may be on this Thursday so he's the man to speak to.

    Sorry for the bum stead.

    when I questioned my mate about an exact time, he says it was “delayed” - whatever that means (maybe it still is the 25th).

    apologies again - I hope no-one had already made plans.

    we don't even know how many players will be used. a bit hard to predict a line up. also, who really cares. There's a few guys with niggles etc. which means they may or may not play. All I care about is the new draftees, no-one else.

    B: LOCKHART, J.SMITH, JETTA

    HB: BOWEY, PETTY, RIVERS

    C : ROSMAN, JORDON, BAKER

    HF: LAURIE, MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN

    F: PICKETT, WEIDEMAN, SPARGO

    FOLL: JACKSON, SPARROW, JONES

    IC: HUNT, HARMES, FARMER,  D.SMITH, BEDFORD, BRADTKE, CHANDLER, NEITCHSKE 

     

    It's a pretty alternative team but I think they will play most of their reserves players in this one and play a much stronger side against the Bulldogs.

    If it is a six quarter match surely there will be a large number of players involved. In fact you would think the majority of the list would get a couple of quarters each.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
