    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

    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: 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.
