Not for me. I want to see them done by 50 goals. I want Sheedy and Allen to be laughed out of the game.

I wonder if GWS could take the mantle from Collingwood as most disliked club.....

The Meat might be called back to be the pre-match entertainment for this classic.

I watched 186 live on Australia Network in Koh Samui. Was there over a month and there was football on every weekend. Most bars in tourist areas were showing AFL and NRL.

I watched some of the finals games live in Wuhan and Tianjin in China in September.

well your glass is half empty, mine is half full, a 4th game would be great (which i am sure you would agree!!)

And yes its on Fox, but if you can afford it and you love footy, then there is no reason you should not have it, its the future of sport on TV in Aus.

Thanks mate (and others)... though maybe I shouldn't watch the match from Koh Samui! We land there and hour before Round 1 - so it'll hopefully be televised somewhere that I can get to quickly.

Hoping for a non Saturday-arvo match Round 2. Reckon I'll get it from Phi Phi?

Thanks Rupert.

I serverely hope it isn't, even if all the signs are pointing toward that evil end.

As predicted, yet another NAB first round not in Melbourne for us. But we have been given a draw that we should (on 2011 form) get over the line with and that'll set up a likely early meeting with our old enemy. I can't even remember the last time we played them in the pre-season comp!

Well I hope we play GWS at the G. I wont boo Scully for the reason he took the money. I dont be grudge him for that, but I may boo because I still reckon he lied about when he made his mind up. Anyway by round 12 or 13 Scully's knee would have probably flared up again.

God I hope Geelong thrash GWS by more than what they thrashed us by or we will look stupid. Scully for a 2nd year can be part of another thrashing.

Anyway looking foward to the rest of the draw and how it pans out.

Whether we win, lose or draw the games in Qld - we will play Coll and Haw.

WE SHOULD get by in Round 1.

It would be a great start if we can be competitive against the "FILTH" in Round 2 and the "Head hunters" Round 3.

Both games at the "Graveyard"

We don't want any knee or ankle injuries.

Am pretty sure that 2011 was the end of the contract for Australia Network to broadcast AFL. i will try and find out if this is still the case. Watching AFL in Asia is always a blast so i do hope it continues.

Stoked with the draw of the NAB Cup. Being based in Qld, it gives me the opportunity to see a couple of "free" games that I wouldn't normally see, then our Vico firends get to see us against a couple of good sides, which non-Vico's get to see on Fox!

While I can appreciate the Vic-based supporters being a bit upset that we haven't played a first round (NAB) match for ages, it would give you a great opportunity to fly up to the Gold Coast for the weekend and spend the evening at Metricon. I think it's a great stadium to watch footy at, and the bonus is that if you park at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and get the bus back, you are directly opposite Jupiters Casino, which on a Saturday night is well worth a look!!! :wub:

Very happy with the round one of NAB Cup. Aside from it being on my home turf, we are drawn against two teams we should beat and get our 2012 campaign off to a flying start... if it's true about landing the Pies in rd 2,well lets take em on... nothing to lose really except the NAB cup.

Queensland Demons will organise something - not sure it will be an official function, we will have to see what the AFL comes up with in the main draw however we can have all visitors and locals together to celebrate the start of a new season,.

As you are a Qld'er I feel we need to recruit you.. email me if you are interested in joining our group.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but it looks like our Darwin game will be in May - I'm thinking June/July would have been better but anyway...

Darwin gets AFL quartet

Much rather get it out of the way early in May. Weather might be a littel more lenient then. Certainly dont want it last round

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
