But only 4 players could be interchanged at any one time.  So players in the 30 had to be subbed on or out of the game.

Ah ok didn't realise that

    Same old story.  If we win it's good signs, if we lose, it's just a practice match

    I reckon Kosi will be named. He'd love the opportunity to play in front of family members and against a number of his mates.

    We don't play Freo away this year.

    If he does play at least three quarters I'm tipping he'll bag at least 4 goals and be close to BOG (in a losing side).

    Having said that, I don't think he should be named. We need to start with, as close as possible, our round one side.

    BTW I'm tipping a GF between two of Freo, GWS and Lions.

    That said missing the first three rounds might mean they want to take the opportunity to get one more match load and fitness into koz.

    Surely you would give him say 3 quarters,   and all the other best 22  if you can , only the abbreviated game time.

    Do not want to go into game 1 underdone like last year when a fit and firing Sydney thumped us badly. That was extremely disappointing.

    Thumped us badly is an ever so slight exaggeration of what occurred

    Curious, how do you read a reaction?

    And what happens if you accidentally see an emoji that has been added to one of your posts?

    Once seen, never unseen?

    Or do you try and convince yourself, Schulz stylee, that you saw 'nothink'?

    This game is not just about fitness. it’s about having our best team play together to work on game plan etc 

    Kozzi will certainly play as we need him in the 20+ games he’ll play this year  

    He will have time to gel with new midfield and fwd teammates

    Not sure what to do with Kos, we generally play 22 at a time and sub guys out rather than rotate extras. 

    Maybe one of Chandler, Sharp or Sparrow sit for the first half?

    Of course that’s assuming Tracc, Viney and all other mid/forwards are right to go.

    If there’s no Casey game this week I agree that taking Henderson to play a quarter is reasonable. Just get him that experience or travelling with an afl team and bonding time with team mates. Less important for Culley who’s been around the side all summer and on an afl list before.

    This will be our full dress rehearsal and I presume we will ve playing our best available team.

    We'll have an extended bench and will likely rest some guys at half time I would've thought.

    Freo will be lucky to make the 8… they play a boring and one paced brand of football

    As well as a dress rehearsal for round 1, I hope the club also look at this game as a dress rehearsal on how we play the dockers next time when it counts.

    Thats why I reckon Kossie has to play

    I've got a similar prediction.

    Same for the Dees (if we were to beat Freo in round 6 it could really open our season up as we have a winnable fortnight after that)

    Freo will be 4-1 with a round 1 loss to Geelong at GMHBA.

    It will be an absolute indictment on Longmuir if he can't get that talented list into the top 4. They want for absolutely nothing.

    Agreed they have great individual talent, but are they a great team?

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
