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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
