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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
