Who comes in and who goes out?

Lever is under an injury cloud. Disco Turner? Tomlinson?

Do we play our best available 23 again or give some of the kids a last shot before Round 1?

    21 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

    yep, best again

    i imagine it'll be a squad of 28 allowed to play?

    I don't think it will be our best team. It wasn't last year, or the year before.

    In both years we had our best 22 on the first practice match.

    Unless there are injuries I suspect we saw the round one team today (with the exception of jvr).

    Melksham might be an in perhaps.but Chandler would probably have to come out, and I'd prefer Chandler.

    If Lever is out then I would like to see Disco. Plays more like Lever than Hibberd does.

    I can't believe you mentioned Tomlinson woeful performance today.

    Will be interesting if Jacob van Rooyen plays, especially as he may have possibly injured his hamstring?

    Fingers crossed I am wrong on that.

    If they lose, will their members be microwaving the membership before the season starts I wonder 🤔🫢

    Can someone please confirm the ticketing situation for this game. I thought I read free entry but, if so, I assume you would need to get there pretty early before thousands of Richmond fans descend on the ground.

    Jason Castagna wont be playing, as the 26 year old surprisingly retired from AFL football, effective immediately.

    Sheesh,  only 26? Felt like he was around for decades, good on him though. Triple premiership player in 100 odd games.

    This recent incident on the rub down bench convinced him it was time to call it quits.

    I'll be making the relatively short journey to watch this game.

    Anyone know if they stand will be available or will it just be standing only?

    He's no Ian Ridley but that's a pretty good run.

    I never picked him as being unusually wise but you have to give him credit for getting off the Titanic at Cherbourg.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
