    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
