The PREGAME Thread will replace the CHANGES Thread and will contain any discussion relating to the next match including Changes, Ticketing & any other related discussion for the upcoming match.

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: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
