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

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1630367/squad-set-dees-selected-for-port-match

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
