    Good point Wells!

    It will take the Dickmond and filth supporters a while to catch on.  The iPhone/android dealers  around Punt road and Smith Street will make a fortune. 

    They may even do as well as the dealers of other ...err .... products , in the those areas .

    Of course the orthodontists will remain miles in front.

    Pretty handy North side given they are without 5 of their best 10 mids. 

    Backline should keep us honest and their forward line is very underrated with some tricky match ups. 

    Would like to see Simpkin, LDU and Cunnington really test us but I still think it's nice to play against a young and hungry side rather than a mature side that isn't that keen on giving much away in preseason.

    From reading the training reports, Dunstan was doing additional running. His omission could be due to a minor injury, although that would have been reported. Or they could be preparing him for a particular role, and he hasn't reached those standards yet in match sim. Ben Brown was given a specific training regiment before his recall. Dunstan maybe in the same situation.

    Yep thats it based  on what Ive seen at Training

    It will be interesting to see where some of the players get a run during this match. No points up for grabs so I would imagine there will be a few trials of thoughts and ideas that have developed over the off season.

    Will be interesting to see Turner getting a run. Not just to see his skill levels but also to see how he has been schooled in the defensive structures. Of most interest to me will be to see who runs through the wing positions, Jordon, Baker are obvious but we might see Hunt get a run there as well. They might give Gus an extended run in the center.

    With the forwards there are a lot of tall options to rotate through there.

    Will be good to see some footy and I hope there are no injuries to either team.

    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.

    They were originally going to do 6." qtrs"  with unlimited bench. North have had some gastro go through the joint (going to be a few players out)so going to be 4 qtrs not sure how long,  with even numbers on bench (not sure how many).

    Gastro? We should postpone the game just to pizz Chris Scott off.

    Will Noble have a sook when we beat North by 12 goals?

    Dam it. Mixed emotions.  Time to get Kayo but buy murdoch another ivory back scratcher.

    A Bombers mate of mine went to watch Essendon yesterday. He said immediately after the match there was a full-length seconds match. The supporters didn’t know this match was scheduled until it started. So I guess one needs to be prepared should something similar eventuate today.

    GOODY will have a sook if we beat North by 12 goals. 12 goals is a GF winning margin, not a S&Gs match winning margin.

    Fox has a blog for the game:  https://go.arena.im/live/fox-sports-australia/q9ckwvX?v=2

    NMfc also will:  "There will also be full coverage of the game on NMFC website and app and on the NMFC Official accounts on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook."

    Can't find a ref that mfc will run a commentary but will check the website/twitter when the game starts.

    Will be interesting to see how Sam W goes today.

    Best of luck to Adam T today too.

    Go Dees.

    Like others the only thing I hope for in these games is “no injuries” . Make no mistake all teams are going to come at us hard in the “we are tougher than you” stakes. Can’t we just play “ring a ring a rosy” and avoid any physical contact. Park our guns on the bench and play our second eleven. Still cricket season, far too early for footy. Maybe water the ground to avoid knee injuries and see how hungry our fringe players are in competing for scarce spots. 

    It will be good to see some footy again but the result means little:  2021 we were absolutely thrashed by the Bulldogs in the preseason and then, the rest is history!

    In fairness we were missing some pretty big names against the Dogs whereas they were full strength.

    Do what I'm doing. I've just subscribed to Kayo, but will cancel after the 14 day free membership period.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
