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.

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.

Ffrom the AFL site it is free entry. Doubt the Tigers fans will descend on Casey. They have no money for petrol !

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 quitting football to become a tattooist. True story.

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
