    Yes, I checked again this afternoon and the Foxtel guide is now showing the game, so it will be broadcast here in Sydney, after all.

    With the exception of a few hundred who live close to linton street I don't expect many Dees supporters to turn up  to a late afternoon match in 34 degrees. Seems like cruel and unusual punishment to ask players to play a winter game in the conditions expected for Friday. I think there will be more for the Casey games against the Tigers. 

    Reslly OD that's an interesting prediction. 
    What if it's 34 vs Tigers also?

    Sorry mate I'm not sure I follow - what negative comments? 

    I've in general only ever been bullish on JVR & as for Casey, I was one of those who criticised the club/coaches for not playing our strong VFL players like Chandler in the 1sts more last year. Do you have me confused with someone else?  

    Sorry Fr-ap yes May have misconstrued you. Possibly Orion. Profuse Apologies.

    Thanks all

    That (presumably ex-) mud heap - remember going to a match there circa 1965 - pouring rain, cold as charity, mud even on the outer hill. 

    Surely in this sort of heat they could play unlimited interchange.


    Not sure if already mentioned, but the Bulldogs don't have a game this weekend because the Giants didn't want to travel. Instead they are playing an intraclub match. Hopefully this leaves them a touch underdone for Round 1.

    They’ve listed Kye Turner as Joel Smith’s #29. He was wearing #47 during the preseason but was wearing #33 at training on Wednesday. 

    And at the intraclub last Friday.

    No Shache

    So Burgoyne has officially joined Casey. I hadn’t seen that confirmed.

    So Kozzie has Trent and Byron Jnr to flat with and maybe good friend Henry next year.

    How could he leave his mates and cousin?

    Seems the rehabber's/injured are; Melky, Adams, J.Smith (underdone), Dunstan, Salem, and Fritta.

    Interesting that Woey may get a run, as he had been in rehab for a few sessions.

    That’s not a bad injury list. Only Fritta and Salem are best 22.

    Great for the few Casey Demons players to get a run, a taste of the big league (speed, intensity, skill level) can only help them with their season.

    Would love to see Burgoyne have an impact, and Munro.

    Hope they all get a run.

    I like that it isn't listed as a practice match but 6 25 minute quarters of match simulation with no time on. What does one make of that? Will there be tackling? I assume 4 umpires and unlimited rotations.

    • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Match Simulation vs St. Kilda FC
     

    Everyone will be watching only for the Grundy/ gawn double act.

    A pretty good lineup. Practically full strength. 

    Just hope no serious injuries

    Yes, will be full contact.

    My guess is they’ll go best 22 for 2 periods, then sit the veterans. 

    Go with a solid side for the next 2 periods making sure everyone who’s in contention for round 1 is getting a fair look in.

    Then finish the last 2 periods by replacing everyone who started the game with the kids and Casey players.

    Or they could just go 3 and 3 if it’s super hot.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
