If you go back through the thread the Box Hill line up is listed. Apparently a lot of Box Hill listed players

No Bruest

I don't think any of the AFL listed players are playing.

Cheers. Trent Mynott and Cal Porter the only former AFL players that I could see running around for Box Hill. 

Our AFL guys should be putting in strong performances (and it seems they are).

All you can ask

Winners. 87 to 52. Brayshaw, vanders, kozzie all standouts.
And Maj of course

Anyone know if Petty played? (No team sheet anywhere for example?)

I've always made a point of not criticizing the MFC on here, but the absence of any information about this match, with senior selections potentially hinging on it, is shameful.  It disrespects us supporters who, after all, are the lifeblood of the Club. Grrrr!


You’d imagine Brayshaw is an absolute certainty next week given he’s had two VFL hit outs. Hopefully he has the match fitness to play major minutes inside the centre with the absence of Viney, where he plays his best footy.

With Viney out there's a spot in the guts for him.  That's where he needs to play.

And Tracc plays predominately forward, out of the square till we get more of our big forwards back. No mention of Mitch Brown tonight so I suspect he is an unlikely starter, round 1.

Yeah agreed that Trac should be at least 50/50. Hopefully an Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes and Petracca midfield should be good enough to get the job done.

Not sure he does yet, or if his foot is ready for it. No idea what percentage of the game he played today, but last week vs Bulldogs he only played a half and was then sitting around afterwards at Marvel with a heavily strapped left foot.

All very well for the club propaganda to say the players are angry about 2020:  not half  as angry as the loyal, “thick and thin” lifelong supporters who have been treated like irrelevancies by the club in not sharing the fact that some important players were pushing for selection tonight. 

Anyone look at the hawthorn website for info about the match?  The only vfl match I saw there was 3 days ago. Perhaps I missed something. Or their PR dept is as bad as ours or both clubs were    Keeping quiet for some reason. 

All a bit weird this. The Casey site has info on the Casey v Bulldogs practise match from Monday, but not this one.

Sorry sue, I could care less about the hawks but there is simply no excuse.

Mwmbers are the key stakeholders. Many of us didn't ask for money back last year. Those that did likely had to because they needed the money.

To not provide information about tgis game is a total joke. If it was a one off  then maybe you give the club a pass. But it unfortunately it isn't. 

Apet from respecting the fans such poor communication is just rubbish business.

What makes it worse is the covid related cuts are no excuse. These days content is basically free. Send Ben Gibson down take a few grainy photos, maybe a video on the phone and 25 tweets.

And alerting fans to the game even less effort and time.

Jesus... ?

It was a VFL practise match. They weren't even taking stats. The Casey Demons twitter account posted quarterly updates re what was going on, who was getting involved..etc. 

I'm not going to provide the link, cause I'm sure if people cared as much as their complaining would suggest, they'd have already found it by now. Wasn't hard.

Angus. If we are to take a step this year, we need you to have a ripper year. Cmon Gussy!!

Yep, great idea! Let’s take the bloke who finished 3rd in the Brownlow last year out of the engine room. Ridiculous

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
