That'll be a good pre-season hit out. Melb still whining about the semi loss

 

[The Bighouse]

Must be getting close to any announcement of the 4 + sub continuation or 5 on the bench for the season proper.

• Squad of 30 players, eight interchange and four emergencies. Minimum of four players on the interchange bench during the match at any time

Only a couple of VIC teams have “match sim” scheduled as yet. They will be being negotiated currently. The interstate teams are all listed with their obvious intra state opponents.

Touch wood, we have unprecedented availability of players for our pre season and a good group of VFL signings to fill an internal practice match should a suitable opponent not be sourced.

a free entry event is so rare nowdays but great to see..........

I reckon we treat our preseason games a bit differently this year given the short turn around for round 0 (then a 6 day break before round 1).

Expect the Geelong game to be a full dress rehearsal. Best 22 playing close to normal game time with a couple of others rotating through.

The Melbourne game I expect some players to be rested, others on managed minutes and fringe players getting more game time.

 

[The Bighouse]

A must-win game..

Charging for a practice match …

 

[thylacine60]

They're not seriously treating this game like a regular ticketed game? What a joke.

 

[Arr0w]

I demand someone be sakcd

 

[tarczonandjane]

They're not seriously treating this game like a regular ticketed game? What a joke.

They are even contacting non ticketed members encouraging us to upgrade so that we can get a ticket to the practice match.

plus ticketmaster's "handling fee"...............

 

[bigblueboy]

First of many sellouts this season.

 

[bradfisher14]

Think there'd be more of an uproar if we didn't do the ticketing and had members being turned away from a preseason game.

What's the capacity of Ikon for this game?

I think people would be happy to hand over a fiver to guarantee entry than make the effort to go to the ground only to be locked out.

Given the amount of people going to training, it's a fair assumption that there will be very good turn out.

C'mon old man get with the program!!!!!!
