    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)?

    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.

    Can someone please tell me what time this game starts?

    Never mind 

    I found it ...11am.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
