Arden Street, something different, haven't seen that ground in forever!

I still miss all the old suburban grounds. Loved going to all of them as a kid.

Same. I went to Whitten Oval for the AFLW a couple of weeks back - I hadn't been there since the 80s!

The guys on Demonland Podcast saying this will be a predominately under 23 side from Melbourne. Maybe a sprinkling of over 23. I assume north would do something similar. Plus they have a couple playing SOG.

We've basically got a VFL side in so expect North to smash us pretty comfortably.

Reckon this means vs Hawthorn is going to be a dress rehersal for Round 1

Weird that after getting sacked as coach last year Brad Scott is playing for North this week.

 

[markm106]

North have a few out to. But they’d have a stronger squad than us for sure. Good to see jaw some of the younger guys go. Bradke will get a fair bit of ruck time. Pickett steps down a level so it’ll be interesting to see how he goes.

 

[Demon 16]

Is Dunkley injured?

 

[wattsy4]

Wtf has happened to Joel Smith? Named last week but didn't play, now not named in this.

 

[markm106]

B - Lockhart Omac J Wagner
HB - Hunt Hore rivers
C - Tomlinson Jordon Baker
HF - Melksham Fritsch Spargo
F - Bedford Brown Pickett
R - Bradke Brayshaw C Wagner

Club has been very quiet on that one.

 

[markm106]

Is Dunkley injured?

Club hasn’t said much but I did hear he was in rehab group.

 

[schmuttt]

Smith probably re injured the groin again. Didn’t they make an announcement he’d be playing Marsh series game 1?

Wait until you read their death riding board if they belt is. A couple of posters got pretty excited when Essendon beat our Casey side last week.

Tomlinson and Hunt on a wing each

Bradtke already looks to lack some strength.

 

[Tulip]

Was going to head down to this during my lunch break til I saw the teams. Might go at HT if its competitive.

 

[TheCount]

First goal to the Dees through Spargo.

Roos dominated the territory game, only for us to score on our first inside 50

 

[TheCount]

Sparrow has looked a step above around the stoppages so far.

Obviously noticed by the Roos, Dumont closely checking him at that last throw in.

 

[Charlie_s123]

Like the look of Rivers. Looks assertive.

 

[TheCount]

The instant replay on the stream isn't working too well. It's obviously is done automatically by just going back 5-10 seconds, and for the most part, it's just shown players standing around and/or fetching footballs

 

[TheCount]

First goal for the Roos thru Charlie Comben.

NM: 1.1-7
Melb: 1.2-8
