    In fairness the average fan wouldn't even know the VFL practice game is on.... Dland fans are a bit different of course

    The VFL comp is taken for granted so it's lucky that a pre season hit out gets any coverage.

    4-5 weeks until the next match for most of these guys

    I'm guessing he will play 2-3 quarters and then will have a quarter in the seniors maybe?

    Tholstrup, Jefferson, McDonald weren’t part of the main group of the captains run so clearly the emergencies for tonight, they might pull them out early to cover.

    It is. I would imagine that any players named on the extended bench that weren't in the 23 I listed as training with the main group in the Captain's Run like Kolt, TMac and Jefferson will probably play a half or 3/4 in the 2s and then play a 1/2 or 1 quarter in the 1s.

    Funny, potential old man eyes at play and point granted, but that's not how i read team selection.

    Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power and Roan Steele all ‘early’ matinee idols.  RS continues his fine run of ‘classic goals’ should have the turnstiles clicking over. Get him in mid-season draft!

    Teams in the Practice Match can name and play an extended Bench. We named 3 players (Kolt, TMac & Jefferson) that didn't train with the main group of 23 yesterday. The photo I posted above from Carlton Reserves Twitter shows TMac and the Dees photo from Twitter showed Colt. An educated guess is that these 3 who were named on the extended bench for the Dees will play 1/2 or 3/4 with Casey and then 1/2 or 1/4 with the Dees.

    I am really confused: the photo of the 'huddle' shows McDonald who, I thought, was named for tonight. I am also confused that there are 2 games this evening and on a hot day like today, how can players be expected to show up for 2 games? It's kind of surreal...

    See my posts above. They will either not play at all for the 1s or play 1/2 and 1/2 or 3/4 and 1/4.

    Dees pile on a few more.

     

    Have you raised concerns with the club re our social media Andy? 

    I assume you would have some contacts there that would pass on supporter feedback.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
