    Tim, you can find the squad for today's game:

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
