Round 1 grudge match
  • Quote

    Is this a case of the AFL making something out of nothing?

    I would have thought us playing the Dockers would have been more of a grudge match.

    Can someone please explain how this was a grudge match...when Brisbane gladly worked with us for the trade so they could give it to Freo......Freo v Bris would be a grudge match not us v Bris....

    its called a "beat up"

    Let's recruit Fevola just for that game.

    Definitely not a grudge match, if anything the Lions should be thanking us for getting in on the party! Clark was always going, Fremantle, West Coast, or Melbourne it didn't matter.

    I'm just glad it's a home match, and a bloody good chance to get the year off to a good start.

    Im glad we are playing them in round 1 when we will get a good crowd because its the first game and everyone will want to see our new game style and new players.

    Its better to play them at the G in round 1 then round 18 in case we arent going so well.

    I wonder when we will play GWS? It better be at the G.

    What a joke. But hey at least it's a home game we can win.

    with respect... we ought to have the attitude that any game, is a game we can win ;)

    For me, it's a match between two clubs who are more than happy to work together towards a common goal. Hardly a grudge match at all. The AFL is so dum (yes, that's right - D U M) sometimes.

    More of a grudge match for Clark and his ex-teammates, as he left the lions to go home. The fact he didn't end up back in Perth might have left his old team feeling a bit dirty on the situation.

    Either way, if you wanna be opening the season with a blockbuster, the runs have got to be put on the board.

    My priorities would be

    (1) open with a win

    (2) open with a home game

    (3) open with a blockbuster

    Round 2 at Rooty Hill, No source just gut fealing. The Sydney game is for hype but the AFL won't expose GWS to any of the top 6 till mid year. They will get us, Richmond, Port and Gold Coast, Brisbane with in the first 6-7 games.

    Los Pollos is down a manager after he had half his face blown off.. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT???!!!!! :)

    Was intending to watch that episode this weekend. Cheers for that.

    Actually it is a grudge match, Brisbane and Voss treated us with disdain and beat up on us so many times I just love to return the favour.

    Nothing better than watching our Backs kill Brown and Fev a couple of years ago.

    What odds $cully pulls a 'knee soreness' heart string and opts out of playing against us?

    You think we have a bigger grudge with Freo at the moment than St Kilda?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
