    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
