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....

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.

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

Melb v GWS is a grudge match!

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.

Indeed - our relationship with Brisbane seemed to be all hugs and back slaps afterwards. Hardly looked grudge-y to me.

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.

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
