    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
