    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).

    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.

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

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
