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?!)

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
