Thanks very much karthik!
 I hope you're correct. I see no mention of it on the WatchAFL app visible in USA. 

They did confirm it on Twitter. We should be good.

It's fantastic that KAYO customers can benefit from the telecast/streaming of the week 1 practice matches but what about for Foxtel customers who pay significantly more than KAYO customers.

Anyway, hopefully the MFC put the replay on its website by the Thursday night, or the game can be found on Youtube shortly after.

I can’t wait for this. It will be my first visit to Casey and my first live game since the Carlton game last year. 

Go Dees!

so for Thursday it's just rock up and scan in for the jabbed

weather humid and chance of a thunderstorm.

Time to dust off the old deck chair

A good start and finish time for avoiding the traffic


Certainly more fun than another day sitting in front of the computer "working" from home

I get the need to have a 7 day break into the Carlton AAMI game, but it would've been great to have this match as a double header leading into the Melb/North AFLW game on Saturday night.

Hopefully the club's website will show a full replay on Thursday night.

Good thing you posted this!

 

Anyone know the format? Will it be 4 quarters? Will we have large interchange benches? Will all the teams follow the same format or will it be agreed on the day by the participants? Any info appreciated.

Well no I didnt. Maybe not last time we had a similar match, but similar practice matches in the past, there have been 3 not 4 quarters and another time it was mainly not our top 18 who played. Both these factors are at play for me to decide whether to make an hour journey there and back tomorrow on a work day. It may be easier for you Daisy, being in Bennettswood (Thats the part of Burwood I am from originally. Burwood it seems can be Wattle park or the Burvale)

There's an explanation somewhere which I read

They said they will tailor the number and length of quarters to fit player loads. Expect better players in say first three sessions followed by fringe in next three with some players doing 4 sessions and some doing two. My guess is 15/20 minutes per session without time on.

Message therefore is get there on time if you want to see the stars

Drop Foxtel and just get Kayo. ☺️

I think you're around three blocks further down the road than the AFL on cross promotion BBP. Great idea though.

they have already said they will make up their own rules on number or qrtrs, length of qrtrs, number of players and probably anything else they mutually agree on


Hope everyone remembers its a practice match only and nobody goes into a complete meltdown if we don't win - perhaps that's too much to ask 

I'd like to think most of the young kids will get a taste and many of those who didn't play at the pointy end last year will get reasonable game time to put their case forward to selectors

If us as reigning Premiers cant beat North even in a practice match, stand back and watch the fireworks!

Around the Grounds for anyone remotely interested in the trial matches and it’s quarter-time at the Hangar.

Essendon 1.5-11 Bulldogs 2.4-16

Both teams close to full strength.

Interesting none of the first year players got selected. 

How many quarters will they play? Probably only 4 by the look of the squad size.

Terrific to see Tomlinson getting a run. I'll be interested to see both how much time he gets and how he goes!

Wonder why Lever and Fritsch aren’t playing

Viney makes sense with his ongoing foot issues. He’s probably on a light load.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
