The Dees will also play the Kangaroos in a Scratch Match a week or two prior to the Community Series match against the Dockers.

The Dees will travel to Rushton Oval in Western Australia to face Fremantle as part of the league’s formal practice matches prior to the 2025 AFL season.

The 3:10pm (local) game will consist of four quarters of 20 minutes plus time on, as per the regular home-and-away season.

The AAMI Community Series games will be ticketed events, with on-sales scheduled for Wednesday 5 February.

Club members with 2025 AFL Premiership Season entry entitlements will have access to free general admission tickets, subject to availability. Sign up now to become a Dees member ahead of 2025.  

In addition to their official practice match, the Dees will also face North Melbourne prior to their game against Fremantle in an in-formal match simulation.  

Details of this are still to be confirmed with date, time and location to be determined by the two clubs involved.

The match sim will be required to take place between Saturday 15 February and Saturday 22 February.

North get another ‘home’ game in Perth. Lucky them. 
 

I hope our game against them is at Arden St and not in the @rse end of Cranbourne.

So North, then Freo

Then a week off while the nonsense that is Round 0 happens

Pretty good lead in I reckon.  Intraclub match on 8th you'd imagine

An interstate practice match, what a load of Rubbish, on a ****ty little ground

Unbelievable, but typical of AFL arrogance 

All practice matches should be played in Victoria concerning The MFC…

Oh well if nothing else it gives us another look at a team that has absolutely humiliated us since 2020, aside from the odd occasion.

It’s gotten to the point where Freo supporters online were disappointed on fixture release day that they only play us once in 2025 because they view us as a percentage booster. That’s simply not on.

Round 6 at the G is one day I’m keen on a bit of pay back.

I can’t quite put my finger on why they bully us so much 

My best guess is that their mids can match us in the contest while outpacing us, meaning we frequently get opened up 

Meanwhile they’ve been elite defensively for a few years, so when we do get looks we struggle big time to score 

Thankfully I’m pretty neutral about them so I don’t get too upset, but it would be good to get one back on them this year

Using the term 'full schedule' to describe two games, one of which being an 'in-formal (sic) match simulation' (ie scratch match) at a yet to be determined date and ground, hurts my head.

By the by, do our players have to wear a tux against the roos?

Think you nailed the bolded bit.

Same could be said about Collingwood.

Travel/Injury factors. The games are a meaningless risk

Travel is a fact of AFL life.  So are injuries.

Players get injured in intra-club games.

The area that is now Rushton Park was first gazetted as a sanitation site on 20 August 1926, and was converted to a recreation reserve in September 1958, under the Mandurah Road Board

So we're playing Freo at the old sewerage farm... sounds about right

Gold!

So it's going to be a [censored] game then?

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have home derbies in each of WA, SA, NSW and QLD, with the rest all played in Victoria? Would be better financially and probably better crowd wise.

Couldn’t agree more after all these games are really just practice matches to blow cob webs out , get match fit and trial one or two things before the real stuff begins 

It seems like the AFL love to over engineer things often and in many cases to the detriment of the clubs paid up supporters

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
