    MELBOURNE is set to face Port Adelaide for the first time in AFLW history.

    The Dees will travel to Alberton Oval on Sunday to meet the Power in an official practice match.

    For the final hit-out before Round 1, Melbourne has named a 24-player squad with a combination of fresh and experienced talent bolstering the side.

    Paxy Paxman and Gab Colvin will be travelling to Adelaide for their first game of the pre-season, having missed last week’s match simulation against Carlton due to injury.

    Fans will once again get a look at an array of new Demons with Ryleigh Wotherspoon, Alyssia Pisano, Denby Taylor, Grace Hill and Grace Beasley all selected for the Sunday game.

    Delany Madigan and Lily Johnson have been named as emergencies.

    The practice match will consist of four 15-minute quarters (with time on) as per the regular in-season game set-up.

    For supporters unable to make it to Alberton Oval, the match will be live streamed here from 11:30am (AEST) tomorrow.

    Losing a "match simulation" to Carlton didn't bother me.

    And I know it's still only a practice match, but this, on the other hand........🙁

    Poor Liv.  Suffered nasty facial fractures and concussion in the last quarter of the practice match against Port Adelaide.

    She’ll miss a sizeable chunk of the season.  A huge blow for the team too.

    Best wishes Liv for a full and rapid recovery.

    A very thin midfield group gets a fair bit thinner with Purcell's injury. I was all for rejuvenating the list, but Eliza West would be handy right about now. 

    The pre season form has to be a major concern, as does the reliance on Hore to play key roles all over the field.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Carlton

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
