Agree with that. The only thing to add is if restrictions continue during the regular season once you have been selected to attend a match you then go to the bottom of the line to at least give everyone a chance to attend.

Hope Hannan pulled up well after the scratch match. Takes Melskham’s place for mine.

Lol, unreal return to the footy. Likes for now.....Bennell looked like he got through ok. Trac is just a beast, would’ve lost without him I think. Rivers although not the same type as Whelan just looked like he belonged immediately. Reminded me of Wrecker’s debut. He might even get some votes. Good to see Hunt amongst the goals. Some of our boys looked dirty after the game

Never fails 3 up at a contest. Smiths fault

Rivers showing more composure than a few senior heads.

Lucky boy Smith

Awesome tackle Rivs

Good typing everyone. Go Dees!

Carlton tweeted there will be a report on the match on their official site tomorrow. Could be the same for us.

How long does it take for the roof to close?

From what we have seen all summer and the hard work they have put in both must be cursing themselves right now for something that just needed a little more thought in this current environment. Kossie so close to running out with his fellow draftees and Bennell, Spargo on the cusp of the 22. Like anything else, a learning experience. I’m sure Max will tuck both under his arms and have a gentle word to them.

Nibbler anyone ?

My favourite part was the fake cheering after the siren. Don’t think I’ve ever heard a crowd cheer after a drawn game. Everyone usually sits there confused.

I think this would be a hoot. Watching the reactions of landers’ during a match and at the same time watching them post on the game day thread.

My guess is Hunt also to be included if we change 7. We have a comeback story in Bennell, two debutants, why not include a player seemingly out of favour. One more surprise.

Not 100% sure Andy, I thought I read somewhere the media wasn’t allowed in last night’s scratch match due to the trialling from the broadcasters. Might explain the lack of vision from the journos.

I found his thoughts interesting to listen to McQueen, a lot more interesting than some of the posts on this site celebrating the possible omission of certain players from our team. No problem if you don’t agree with him, I believe we will win this weekend but I thought it was relevant to the topic.

A bit strange the clubs involved in tonight’s game didn’t provide any score updates or reports for their supporters. Wonder if it was an AFL directive as the broadcasters were trialling some TV tricks.

How to beat Melbourne. Thought this was pretty good.

3 real feel good stories. Good luck to all 3 and credit to them for the hard work they must have put in with no football being played the last 3 months.

Come on W’DEE, chuck Dunkley on a wing and place 4 Demonlanders on the interchange.

Yep, latest injury report has Petty (groin), Preuss (Achilles) and Hore (toe) sidelined. At least a month for all of them.
