    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
