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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
