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.

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

Fixed it for you.

Eddie wants us out of his backyard and to move to Port Melbourne.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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.

Clarry doesn't even make a Best of the Rest team.

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

Rushed last minute and obviously unused "artwork". He would have looked good in the Big V.

That was the initial plan. Obviously the selectors struggled to come up with 3 names from half the teams.

Practice matches locked in against Bombers and Kangaroos Please keep us updated with scores and Demon listed player performances.

I'd say given both teams extensive injury lists it's likely to comprise mostly of VFL players and I assume even before the carnage this was the case.

Nev Jetta is our only representative in the match.

With both teams a man down.

All we have been able to ascertain is that it is a groin injury. Not much other information nor a timeline has been given.

Only 1 Demon likely to be represented.
