Let’s keep the thread on topic folks. No derailments. Footy is nigh.

Don’t forget to buy a snag from @WalkingCivilWar at the Demon Army BBQ to support the cheersquad. 

Mention Demonland to get 0% off. 

Just don't ask for a chicken burger.

I am not too sure how many will be out but the following is my stab at first 18 with what I think are players who have minor injuries or are a bit underdone to play yet left out (see list).

B: McVee May Hore/Tomlinson

HB: Rivers/Brayshaw Lever Bowey

C: Langdon Petracca Billings

HF: ANB Schache Chandler/Tholstrup

F: Pickett* JVR Fritsch

Ru: Gawn Sparrow Viney

Int: Salem (should be managed back to just two quarters), Laurie, Windsor, Spargo

Injured/unavailabe: Oliver, McAdam, Petty, T.Mac, Melky, Hunter, Fullarton, B.Brown, Turner

* Pickett out Rd 1 (susp).

To play final 2 quarters with VFL players - Howes, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall, Sestan, Woewodin, K.Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

And in the absence of injured tall forwards, Schache has to be given first shot at the role of forward/back-up ruck.

We cannot continue to risk JVR getting injured as the back-up ruck - yes I get that he is better qualified to do it, but Schache deserves first shot at it before we try more risky/reward options such as swap out a defender such as May to fix our forward woes.

The other thing we all should remember is that the SCG favours talls - it is shorter than other grounds and you need more marklng options than normal. Hence Schache is required for the season opener and should only miss if he shows absolutely nothing in our two practice games.

I think Oliver may play a quarter or 2 like Salem when the youngsters come on. I think Howes and Woewodin will play with the senior players. I think the First 4 quarters will be seniors' last 3 quarters' will be reserves.

Seniors

B: McVee, May, Lever

HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Bowey

C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon

HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, Schache, Pickett

FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney

IC: Howes, Sparrow, Laurie, Spargo

Chandler, Woewodin, Hore, Tholstrup

 

Reserves

Salem, Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall

Sestan, K. Brown, Farris-White, Moniz-Wakefield

 

Can't wait for the game especially to see how the youngsters go. It's good to have footy back. Go Dees.

Is Hunter still injured ? How many weeks?

He was in the rehab group on a modified running program after Christmas before briefly returning to the main group before returning to the rehab group for the last 2 or 3 weeks. No word on a return date from any official channels.

I understand the benefits of a scratch/practice match, but they make me nervous. A player sustaining an injury during the season proper is one thing, but doing so when there’s not four points on the line is another thing entirely.

It's beginning to feel a bit like footmas.

Yes. Bring it on. it’s been forever.

I use pregame, gameday, and post game threads as my relaxing read. 
Away OS in September so if that is not a reason to see as much as I can during the year.  I don’t know what is.

With 7 periods of play

you can have 2 seperate teams play 3 quarters.  And the middle mixed to give certain players time off or extra time

and you get to see how some youngsters go in strong competition 

well that’s how I see it,

I am making my first trip down to Casey this Sunday. Is there adequate parking if I am a little late for the 10am start time. Might not get there till just after 10.

As this is a substitute for the Family Day will players be available after the game for autographs or at least the players who might not be playing?

Is there any seating available?

Thank you in advance for any answers. Excited to see the Dees play live in the flesh again.

Ok Pingu.... think Australia zoo, meets Wet and Wild,meets Dr.Who, meets Groundhog day, with a touch of the supurnatural, meets Beyond Thunderdome and you end up with CASEY FIELDS! Get the picture? Oh yes Parking? Think VFL park Waverley!

For the literalists out there, I know 7 is an odd number. But, it seems odd as much figuratively as literally. I can't get my head around why there are going to be 7 periods of play.

   

Because Jack Viney said so

And I’m OK with that. But this round zero thing has got me well and truly [censored]!!!!

I just hope they’re not seven regular-length quarters. 😳

They have a McDonalds there? Or is that the personal section for TMac's family.

Went to put Kayo back on and it’s $35 per month so ended up buying an armchair membership for $250 so works out about $20 per month and I assume will go towards our membership tally, so anyone with Kayo who are paying the $35 cancel it and sign up through the club

It's strange I got a rejoining offer of $15 off a month for 12 months limited time to accept but haven't heard of anyone else on here receiving it.

I think you get select games in 4K this season on Kayo.

Thanks for posting that WCW, very informative.

I'm particulalry interested in the Beyond Bank presence as I'm a customer and the only branch they have in Melbourne is in South Melbourne, which is hugely inconvenient. I've been trying to deposit a cheque for three years. Hopefully they'll accept it at the ground. And I'll score a donut too. What a win.

IMHO some of these kiosks are a little bit of a waste of space (Soz sponsors 😬). They might give out badges or pencils or whatever but mostly they don’t appeal to kids. Face painting and the bouncy castle are where it’s at!

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
