GAME DAY - Round 1

[Whispering_Jack 27,887]

Good afternoon Demon fans!

Well, after almost seven months of off field goings on and a month of pre season matches, drama and tragedy, it's on in earnest today.

First game of the season is always a big day and it's even bigger today with a new coach, new players and a blank sheet.

As usual, I just want the four points.

[Biffen 12,298]

I want a10 goal plus win .

[Chook 14,388]

I want all of the above, as well as for Mitch Clark not to kill any of our players. I worry that he'll do a little of that this year.

[Biffen 12,298]

I also wish that this wedding was somehow cancelled so I could go to the game .

Who gets married on a Saturday at 4pm on round 1?

Disgraceful?

[PeterJames 46]

Bate the Sub. Thoughts? I'm not to sure about it.

[Footynut 302]

Can't make the game but I just loaded up the Telstra AFL app and subscribed so I can watch the game live on my phone!

This means I can now watch it while I'm out!

Bring it on today Dees!

[Chook 14,388]

Bate the Sub. Thoughts? I'm not to sure about it.

Traditionally he's a player who takes a long time to get into the game, but that was when he was not playing in the midfield. I don't think it suits Bate to be a sub.

Biffen - you have it lucky - I have to CONDUCT a wedding at 4:30pm, for my neice who is a Dees supporter! I cannot believe she chose the opening round of the season for the big day and I almost said no. Almost.

[Chook 14,388]

Clearly marriage is an affront to God, since it interferes with the Football Holy Communion.

Bate the Sub. Thoughts? I'm not to sure about it.

Good call I reckon. Can play mid, can kick goals, not the quickest player so will come into the game when everyone else is slowing down.

[Kiss of Death 708]

Packed train on the way in, full of fans in a sea of red and blue, blood pumping, Carn Melbourne!

[Maldonboy38 5,807]

A man can have two faiths - Jesus Christ and the MFC. No tension at all here for me.

Good point can plug a few holes if we get an injury. And he was playing midfield we have many similar types. Most likely Tynan or Blease to be subbed out.

Apparently Garry's gone to give the boys a rev up before the game, always a good sign

He presented jumpers to the new players

Knowing Garry, I think he would have had a few words to the boys too

He did indeed... and they looked very focussed.

[caco demon 29]

How good did the guernsey's look with the camera panning down the line!

Go demons!

[hardtack 10,126]

The round of applause for Jimmy was a really nice touch... you could feel it gathering momentum so the players shuld take some energy from that... so much better than a minutes silence!

[Dee-Bortoli 8]

Come on dees. Give em hell

[hardtack 10,126]

Very very soft free to give Magner his second goal... terrible umpiring! (but I'll take the goal)

[Kiss of Death 708]

Some huge leaps so far... Love Howie.

[Dee-Bortoli 8]

Huge leaps because all we do is get it and bomb it high and long into the flank or pocket

Thats ok with Howe, Clark and Martin there. We just need Green and Davey to do something at ground level!
