Big chance for the fans to see the team against actual opposition next Friday. 

What do we want to see from our team in this outing ?  I personally want to see Van Rooyen get a chance to show his wares and see what the plan is from the club re Maxy and Brody.

I'm keen to see how Lachie Hunter does in tandem with Langdon

Oh Hell I just want to see them play

    That would be nice, and given this is the unofficial practice mactch, it would be a big surprise.  Last year the unoffical one was streamed on the AFL and clubs websites and only the official practice game was on Fox.

    I don't even know what an RSEA is, but I've always imagined it pronounced to rhyme with "classy".

    Gus interviewed at the Coterie golf day: '...[there's] new positions for different players that the people will see...'

    It sounded like these were relatively settled outcomes from 'the heap of matchplay' they'd been doing at training, as opposed to praccy match try-outs. It will be interesting to see what might be unfolding in this regard next Friday.

    Do you have inside word that it's on Fox/KAYO?

    At the moment they've programmed GWS V WC from last year on from 4-6pm on the 24th of Feb, and the media have previously announced that only the second round of practice matches (March 2-4) will be televised.

    I'm thinking or hoping it will be a live stream from the club if it's not on Fox.

    I will be at the 40th birthday celebrations for one of my sons ... in a pub, so with a few artful steps, just maybe I can take in the footy on 504 or at least the entire last quarter. Not going to miss attending the upcoming match against the Toiges, that's for sure.

    My Foxtel guide doesn't reflect that. Of course, they have been known to be wrong when looking a week ahead. Did you see it somewhere?

    I have it confirmed via people at Fox Sports that it will be on.

    My guide says same but the poster above seems adamant it’s on Fox.

    If LRFE says it's on Foxtel, take it for granted.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
