Yes, will be on Kayo. I was planning to go to take my young son for a spot of live footy but having second thoughts now given the very hot day predicted for tomorrow ... 🤔

    You won’t be able to attend anyways, 31. It’s now a closed event meaning no spectators. ☹️

    I thought that was in reference to the VFL game, not the AFL one?

    That is for the VFL side, not the senior AFL side.

    Ripper, WCW, I'm in Adelaide now, so I cannot miss this one - let's hope the game quietens those amongst us on DL who have early-season jitters, doubts and criticisms. I reckon we will knock a nervous Carlton into no-man's land.

    I fully agree, Deemania!!! We’ll shut the naysayers up… until next week, anyways. 😅

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES ❤️💙

    Now you’ll just have to settle for seeing one of your Blues teams get smashed instead of both 🤭

    Err That was my point TBC!!!!V There is no clear info on injuries missing players or time frames

    No wonder there is speculation around here 

    Not well done MFC Media

    I am sick and tired of D/Lers blaming the MFC media ad nauseam. 

    Some here had tasteless potshots over the last day. If they had looked at the Training schedule released today was the return after a break. So if no news exists no news is given especially no Club updates. 

    On another level some D/Lers on here seem to reckon that they are privileged and entitled to extra news, inclusion,etc from the Club. As if for having the privilege to vent their feelings and opinions in this forum it gives the opportunity for extra Club to shower them with exclusive content etc. Others are “I have given $xxx and ….you know the lines. 

    We are all passionate fans and of course are different but this forum is really for getting some things off your chests and also sharing in the highlights of our footy and gloating occasionally or being frustrated or angry on others. It provides a great opportunity but we are not owed any more than the other fans that choose to be more private. 

    BTW Kent still don’t see the point in publishing a list of TBC, it served not one persons information in the least.  May as well put the iconic 4-6 weeks if you thought it funny or sending a message!

    I wonder how they’ll enforce it if the VFL game is after the AFL game? You’d have to imagine that they’ll have a hard time clearing the place out before the VFL game starts.

    Guessing Salem will be getting some midfield minutes tomorrow night.

    Hopefully he goes well given there's an opening now.

    Midfield minutes will be a plus for him to expose his wares in a newer role; however, his role and chartered history is to play a dynamic 'midfielders function' in the backline to the rest of the field before him and in so doing, exposing pathways for others to creatively exploit in the passing of the ball to (and through) goal(s). Hope he is fit and unencumbered with illness/injury and if so, should have a rip-snorter game ahead of him and into the season. He certainly has the class to achieve once again this season.

    Hehe, not too bothered by results in pre-season games, just hoping both teams have a good workout but with no injuries.

    Big opportunities for Howes and Laurie to nail their spots.

    T Mc, Fullarton, Woey all chances to push their case returning from injuries in the VFL game as well as Clarry obviously.

    If Verral was serviceable both as a relief ruck and as a fwd vs Richmond why not try him vs Carlton?

    he can rotate through ffw and ruck with schache

    Did Fullerton grow a new leg? According to Tom Browne, didn’t it need to be amputated a few weeks ago?

    I’d agree with you on this…

     

    but I’d be lying 😉

    I'm of the understanding that the VFL game starts at 10:30am and will be non-attendance. 

    The AFL game starts at 5:40pm and will be open to attendance.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
