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.

Hopefully those who were watching today play next week

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.

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

No one can afford petrol!

Or food... Or electricity or gas or their mortgage...

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.

I read a snippet in the herald sun that we will be putting put a younger squad then what we had against the Saints.

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.

I’d like to see Judd McVee back up his good game against the Saints

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
