Yeah I’m not 💯 sure but I could swear there was a lunging bump in the 3 quarter. It is a bit reckless.

Otherwise I thought Kozzy played ok in his hybrid MF/forward role. 

 

 

Wasn’t going to watch the game thinking it would end becoming a glorified trial for freo.. but in my thirst for real footy I flicked it on for a quick look, ended up watching the whole thing.. thought it was a really entertaining hit out, and they should rotate the games around the league each year.

Was also really enthused by kozzys running and defensive pressure, also just feels like he’s growing in to a bit of a leader. Really looking forward to see what he does for the dees this year..

    Would be an interesting game if they played a multi-cultural team (parent, grand parent born overseas).

    As a start their tall backs look ok with Alir Alir, Mac Andrew, and Leek Alir.

    Any other suggestions?

    I'm sure a heavy Irish contingent would give it plenty of run!

    While I don't think I'm totally sold on the concept, I think you'd have Trac in the mix wouldn't you, maybe Salo and would big Maxy qualify for having some kind of NZ ties?  Roo? Kolt in a few years perhaps.

    Indigenous all stars - yes, bring back state of origin - yes, but multicultural game would be just a bridge too far for me.  There's already multicultural Rd and I think the league acknowledges, respects and promotes the game sufficiently to all backgrounds to not require a stand alone game.

    From the one article I read it would appear Freo took the game very casually, a number of their top players did not play and a few of their regular indigenous players were in the other side. Like all these games one side had low interest.

    Point of correction - they had about 3 years of a multicultural round, introduced in 2011, but the concept was abandoned about a decade ago. So no, there is no multicultural round.

    no fta decision just doesn't make any sense at all

    Just wait for the outcry when the season proper gets underway and people discover there are no FTA games on Saturdays.

    Watched three quarters. The indigenous team were a joy to watch. (Amazing run on skillful football) Jason HF played a blinder. Pickett had a few cameos. May was strong.

    38k there.

    Definitely worth pursuing.

    Was Freo the right opposition. Not sure. I would have preferred the Eagles.

    I can see it being repeated in Adelaide but perhaps every second year

    PS Could the opposition be a combo of the two local teams perhaps or dare we suggest the AA team

    i suspect flagmantle and meth coke might alternate as the oppo every year

    similarly, this may be part of the quid pro quo of radelayed being locked in as 'gil's gather round' for the next few years; a free kick to wa football

    there's no chance they'd combine teams

    I’d love to see the indigenous allstars V The AA team minus its indigenous players. 

    That would be awesome but the club that has the 3-4 AAs would be stressing big time. 
     

    Could you imagine this when we had Gawn, Trac, Oliver, Lever and May in the AA in 2021.

    Sure but such games are played at training level intensity

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
