Of course we don’t pay you @Ghostwriter. It’s missing shiiite like this that is holding you back. And let’s face it, reporting on hairdos, nicknames, players aunties’ cousins and girlfriends is “unique” and a good “filler”, but has only limited appeal (I like it but some don’t). But it’s scoops like Petts missing todays game that has wide spread appeal, and would greatly enhance your brand and probably place you on the payroll - just as @picket fence is. Picket’s reporting has universal appeal (and I mean galaxy wide appeal), hence his significant retainer. So as I said previously GW, please lift your game

    I thought Picket Fence was paid specifically as a slithera early warning system, and it was tax deductible as a public health expenditure?

    Petty will be missing the game because on the flight over he parachuted out of the plane to visit home, thinking he'd just get an Uber in the morning because Perth is basically 'the next town over'.

    I did something similar once, thinking Jan Juc / Torquay was a viable morning train trip away from Richmond.

    Aaaanyhow..

    My number one wish to come out of today's practice match is simply no injuries. Still gutted for AMW after it literally happened with minutes to go at the end of the game.

    I've been watching all the practice games over the last few days and it's been absolutely carnage with all the injuries. 

    Fingers crossed.

    Currently 27 degrees in Mandurah with a predicted maximum of 35.

    It will be a warm one. Wind does not appear to be a factor

    I’m really looking forward to this game. It will be a great opportunity for our boys to shed some of the inevitable early season rust, and it should give us supporters some genuine insights into the Dees of 2025.
    No injuries is, of course, an imperative!      
    Unlike some Demonlanders who have said that the scoreboard is unimportant, I really want a win.  Beating a quality side on the road, will be the perfect builder of confidence and self belief to kick start the new season.    
    Go Dees!  ❀ 💙

    Agree with all of that
 and as it was Fremantle who pretty much destroyed our season 2024, inflicting two thrashings on us in rounds 12 and 19
 practice match or not, we need to show them that they don’t own us.

    If its 35 at game time, I would be seeking agreement to shorten quarters and play all of the emergencies on a rotation basis to give more breaks.

    I'm not entirely sure what exactly are you talking about?

    If you're asking if todays game is televised then yes, it is.

    It'd be preferable. But if Freo thrash us in the next 5 real matches even if we beat them by 30 goals in each pre-season match during that dominance it'll mean nothing. (That said good team and player performance today is preferable.)

    Yes, but we need to start somewhere, for our own belief, and a practice match is as good a time as any 😊

    Meant to be around 29 degrees at the start time. Mandurah is a bit cooler than Perth as it’s about 45 mins south

    Due to the heat expected to reach 35, does that mean we'll be able scrap the subs so that both teams can maximise rotations?

    Not only that, although he's a good mark.. he always slows down the play after marking, and kicking is not so reliable ..Looks as if theyre wanting to move the ball faster now. Seems 2023 was beginner's luck...a bit flukey and when expectations rose he couldn't produce.

     

    Jessie is FF for GWS. He will play our first game I reckon.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
