Don't the tigers like to play at Holm Park in Beaconsfield for some practice games ? Just a lazy 4 minute drive from home😊

They played the Hawks there in 2016 for a praccy match but can't recall any others.

Wouldn't mind a game out there myself.

 

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to 2023 Preseason Practice Games

 they got rid of a practice game so they could play the Harry Potter round in Adelaide and now clubs are adding a scratch match

I wonder if Stkilda will flick on the sprinklers and turn Moorabbin into a mud heap for us.

Just like the good ol' days.

Even more amusing is that one Melbourne club (I think it's Essendon) are likely to play the Gold Coast in a scratch match in Queensland. So much for all the hoo-hah about the tiring effects of interstate travel and how unfair it is that some clubs travel more than others in the season proper.

Apparently (not confirmed) the practice match is going to be Thursday 23 Feb or Friday 24 Feb for anyone looking to wag work.

Dont have to wag.... Semi or fully retired depending on volition, I'll be there!

Going on past form in the Girls finals they did care two hoots about how many got in. 

That  game was limited by ticketing deliberately. So they did "limit" the numbers of the crowd to the allowed space for spectators.

Don't think we've had a game at Coburg since they remodelled the outer side of the ground. It certainly was a lovely venue not to mention convenient

Played cricket there on Cup Day in 1967, recall Pentridge hovering to the north, the stench of Ryan's hanging still in the air.

Ronald Ryan was executed in February 1967.  His remains are buried in my home town of Portland.

Yes of course, the crime was committed in 65.

Only about 1.5 KM and in front of us

Accident’s happen regularly 

Back in the 70's it could be scary.... 

One of my favorite memories of childhood is rounding the corner at the top of the hill heading home to Port. That glimpse of Tower Hill on the right and then away across Killarney and pines of Port in the distance. Goosebumps just thinking about it....

My mother tells the story of being a trainee teacher in Portland and discussing the life and death of Ronald Ryan with a class. One student chooses to excuse herself from the room for the remainder of the class. Turns out she was the daughter of Ronald under a different name...

One of the richest soils in the country, apparently.... You can see the before and after the Tower Hill eruption in the walls of a midden somewhere near Levy's point if I remember correctly.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
