  1. It's only a practice match. Jack is still technically captain and Max isn't available anyway but I get your point. I've noticed that quite a few teams have announced their leadership groups in the past week.
  2. No idea. Nothing has been announced yet but that doesn't mean they won't. I seriously doubt the Essendon match will be streamed as the game won't feature many Demons listed players. Arden Street game could be streamed like the Pies game last year but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
  3. This latest incarnation of both the AFL & Official site are terrible.
  4. I got my comeuppance when I returned that day.
  5. "We want to make sure the guys are in the best possible shape to attack 22, and hopefully more, games." Darren Burgess will use the pre-season series to get the players right for Round 1. ? ?: Burgess outlines management plans for pre-season games Edit: Didn't see the existing thread.
  6. The best time of the footy year is about to end.
  7. I attempted this but both @Ethan Tremblay & @McQueen bailed on me.
  8. You forgot to plus that by 3.
  9. For our Round 22 2018 match I purchased a premium ticket on the WC Members wing on a ticket reseller website and loved every single minute of it. Best day of football I've ever been to listening to those whingers whinge all day. Worth every overpriced cent I spent. Will only be topped by a Premiership.
  10. Game 1: v Adelaide, Casey Fields (4.40pm AEDT, Saturday, February 22) Game 2: v Hawthorn, University of Tasmania Stadium (7.40pm AEDT, Friday, March 6) Players to watch Luke Jackson: With Max Gawn and Braydon Preuss sidelined with knee injuries, last year's No.3 overall draftee, who has been likened to Brodie Grundy, will get a chance to show his wares on a bigger scale than initially planned. Mitch Brown: Just how the ex-Bomber fits in as a third forward-line tall will be interesting, or if he'll be considered to take his 196cm frame into the ruck given the Gawn and Preuss situation. Kysaiah Pickett: Described as physical, exciting and fast, the small forward is a walking highlights reel. Is capable of providing the spark in the forward line the Dees need. What's new Acclaimed fitness expert Darren Burgess has been cracking the whip in his first pre-season with the club with the players running for longer; their recent documentary To Hell And Back revealing they covered up to 37km one week in November, which is more than they did in any weeks the previous pre-season. With Simon Goodwin admitting in the same documentary "we got our whole summer wrong" last year, there's been big changes to the way they've approached the fitness side of things this time around. Game 1: v Melbourne at Casey Fields (4.40pm AEDT, Saturday, February 22) Game 2: v Gold Coast at Flinders University Stadium, Noarlunga Downs (4.20pm ACDT, Friday, March 6) Players to watch Chayce Jones: The Tasmanian speedster has been one of the stars on the track over the summer. Has added size and should get more time through the midfield in his second season. Fischer McAsey: The sixth overall pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft has been turning heads during pre-season training with his intercept marking. The key defender could play in the early rounds. Tyson Stengle: Kicked five goals in the club's intraclub game last weekend to put himself in the box seat for a small forward role. Only played two senior games last season, but the frontrunner to take the spot vacated by Eddie Betts.
  11. This is exactly what a club that has been starved of success needs ? Just as he played football with a dashing abandon, Melbourne CEO Gary Pert sets no limits when predicting on-field success. Melbourne throwing caution out the window with ambitious flag call
  12. Fixed it for you.
  13. Eddie wants us out of his backyard and to move to Port Melbourne.
  14. Back in January Jordan Lewis likened our 2019 season to Hawthorn in 2009. However the Hawks won the Premiership in 2008 and our 2018 ending was a disaster. They did pick themselves off the floor eventually to win 3 in a row so ...
  15. Crows forward Riley Knight to miss the entire Marsh Community Series with an Achilles’ tendon injury. Out for 3-4 weeks, putting him in doubt for the start of the season. Ned McHenry in doubt for Marsh wk1 with an abdominal injury.
  16. I always thought we were the biggest Victorian beggars. St Kilda have received at least $4 million more each year for the last three years from the AFL compared to other Victorian clubs. Saints' $20 million the biggest Victorian distribution
  17. Seems every year we remind someone of some team. Time for us to make our own story and for it not to end up a sad or tragic one.
  18. He's just one of those guys that does all the right things. Nothing flashy and doesn't stand out. Not quite the invisible man but just does his things. I've only been to two sessions so I can't really comment on his preseason as a whole.
  19. Clarry doesn't even make a Best of the Rest team.
  20. The Demons were right to challenge themselves with their four-season plan, but the acid is mainly on the coaches and football staff, writes Jake Niall. Demon targets pile extra pressure on coach Simon Goodwin
  21. Rushed last minute and obviously unused "artwork". He would have looked good in the Big V.
  22. That was the initial plan. Obviously the selectors struggled to come up with 3 names from half the teams.
