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

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?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
