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

Come on FD, I’m trying to be serious and you are taking the pizz. Not helpful.

 

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.

The Freo fwd line is so much better than ours

They will smash some teams


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.

If you call that being serious you should have a dam good look at yourselfđŸ€Ł

Really looking forward to seeing XL & Langford again

And especially keen to see the look of Salem after a strong preseason 

Disco to kick 6

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.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
