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 anybody be providing a running commentary from the ground (for those without Kayo)?

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.

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

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.

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.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
