Hey guys,

I was thinking of taking my 3 littlies tomorrow to the VFL game at the Whitten Oval.

Do I need to get tickets at all or can we just rock up?

    All eyes tomorrow at Whitten Oval will be on the small number of Demons and train on would be MFC listers in action against Footscray.

    That means the following will be taking part:-

    10. Angus Brayshaw

    19. Fraser Rosman

    36. Kysaiah Pickett

    38. Mitch Brown

    46. Austin Bradtke

    Majak Daw (train on)

    Kye Declase (train on)

    Kobi Farmer (train on)

    Deakyn Smith (train on)

    The following players are out this weekend -

    3. Christian Salem (rested/managed)

    7. Jack Viney (next week at Casey)

    13. Clayton Oliver (rested/managed)

    14. Michael Hibbert

    18. Jake Melksham

    21. Marty Hore (long term)

    26. Sam Weideman (round 5/6?)

    27. Aaron Nietschke (long term)

    44. Joel Smith

    50. Ben Brown (round 5/6?)

    And in a bit of a nutshell, that’s where we’re at.

    Think it's possibly closed to the public but check that out.

    Let’s get started.

    I can see, Gus, Kozzie, Petty, Laurie, Majak, Kobe (the Wiz in attendance), Bradtke, Declase, Rosman warming up. Haven’t noticed M. Brown yet although he and Petty look similar from a distance.

    So I'm guessing Laurie and Petty aren't playing tonight?

    Makes sense, means we are going in with 24 not 26.

    Your guess is most likely correct. We’ll see if they get pulled early, no sign of M Brown.

    Does Kozzie look fit enough to play rd 1 you reckon?

    Our defence is working overtime at the moment. We haven’t been poor, Dogs’ pressure is off the charts allowing us no space at all . 22-0 after 15.

    He was in everything the first 5 mins or so and running both ways. Was rested after 6 mins and just came back on and has continued working hard. So far he looks fit to me bda.

    Majak is getting hands to the ball but struggling to mark, Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 23-12

    Quarter time and it’s 49-13 Dogs.

    We had a really good patch in the middle of the quarter where the movement was quick and the forward line looked lively. Unfortunately after Kozzie hit the post which would have brought us within a kick the Dogs slammed 4 quick ones to end the term.

    Kozzie our best, Farmer very lively up forward and Majak took a couple of strong marks in the end which will do his confidence no harm. Gus looks like he’s doing a lot of strong inside mid work. I was at the forward end but did notice Petty take a nice intercept mark.

    A goal to Daw from a free stems the tide finally. 

    9.7 to 3.2

    Dogs have plenty of talent out here Treloar, Richards and more

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
