Are these games televised? 

No.

The club might do a live stream at best.

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Richmond v Melbourne: Practice Match - Weekend 1 (February 25-28)
  • Demonland changed the title to Practice Match vs Richmond (Feb 25-28)

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 for the intel!

If you find out the time of the match can you please share it so the plebs can watch behind the fence?

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
