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.

    They won't.

    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.

    100% Kozzie will play. Given he’s missing the first three games, any match fitness is very important.

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

    We play them round 6. I reckon we'll be 3-2 (losses to GWS and Cats) and they'll be 5-0.

    99.9% certain if he gets reported and suspended on Sunday, the suspension will take place from round 4 onwards.

    In fact I'm 100% sure.

    Then wrap the freo boys up in bubble wrap & LFG 🔥 🔥🔥

    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?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
