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....

    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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
