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.

2022 AFL Pre-Season Scratch Match

Melbourne v North Melbourne
Date: Thursday 24 February
Time: 11:00am (AEDT)
Venue: Casey Fields

2022 AAMI Community Series

Carlton v Melbourne
Date: Thursday 3 March
Time: 7:20pm (AEDT)
Venue: Marvel Stadium

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.

Ta.

I thought it was Friday.

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.

When are teams released

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.

Shame we won't see Laurie or Rosman

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.
