Just confirmed on the wonderful DEMONWIKI site what i suspected......our last win in round 1 was in 2005 ! I'll be taking the advice of Corp. Jones in "Dad's Army" if we lose: "DONT PANIC" !

    Should rectify this record on Sunday. Sydney have some major injuries (Malcheski, Kennelly, Bradshaw plus others) and we play the G' well. Need to get up on Sunday.

    We should know in the first 5 minutes whether the team is "on". I find it amazing how many times this scenario sets the tone for the entire afternoon.

    All players should be pumped, no excuses whatsoever. There will be a big Crowd this sunday of Demons...i dreamt it 2 nights ago.

    My footy dreams turn out correct more than not!!!!

    We are now in the business of breaking those records as we march upwards.

    No more AAMI hoodoo.

    We will own North this year.

    A win at the cattery. (I was there for the last win; one of the best days of my life.)

    And my personal favourite bundling the Dawks out of the finals (hopefully this year, if not next year)

    Yes i remember that so well from 20 years ago. Beating Hawthorn twice in 2 weeks-Who else got even close to that achievement. The Filth owe us a bucketload for that years flag. They were shite scared of the Dawks back then.

    Indeed it is even worse.

    We haven't won a game in the first two rounds since 2005.

    Terrible record. Need to beat Sydney to change it. Certainly cannot see us beating Hawks, so if we lose to Sydney, record is likely to remain until at least 2012.

    Sydney have a lot of injuries but they are hurting after our thrashing last year. They will be fired up...

    Absolutely we are going to have to play very well to beat the Swanettes.

    They made week 2 of the finals regardless of our thrashing. We better be on. It's at the 'G so we must make it count.

    Hopefully Bruce and Dennis will once again get more than a little excited in the commentary box!!

    Happens too often for mine - guessing they've been put to sleep listening to B) DB's pre-match

    Oh Yeah!!! Very memorable , "WYL",(though it was round 22 and the first final, not the Round 1 this thread's about).

    Remember Greg Healy taking that Gutsy mark running back into Langford??!! Courage personified!

    I sort of wish we'd lost, now, since I'm sure Hawthorn would have knocked Collingwood off(as they might have to this year).

    Our first round record is a bit worrying. Every year we go in "underdone" after a poor record in NAB Cup(or equivalent) and practice matches. Despite not bgoing flat out, we're crippled with injuries.(perhaps that's why?!)

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
