    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.

    Punt Road most likely. Would be good although it's undersized since the road widening.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
