Round 1, 2013 Melbourne v Port Adelaide @ MCG

Featured Replies

 

We said the same last year about the Lions, I don't care who we play we just need to improve ourselves and the results will come

Good news... hopefully a win rd 1 in 2013

I'd be pretty disappointed if we lost this game - PA have never beaten us at the MCG - lets keep that tradition!!

Go DEES

 

We're going to absolutely demolish them.

Norm Smith is back.

The G is ours.

Every other club can G&GF.


So does this mean the darwin games are now off? It isnt a bad thing. Id rather play port on the G.

I cant wait. I rate brisbane a bit higher than Port so im happy to play port even thought I thought round 1 would be a win this year. I do expect to win. Can you imagine the crap and the media if we do lose. I can imagine it now.

But I reckon we will get a good turnout even though it is easter sunday, to see Jack make his debut and our new foward line. Bring it on.

 

Sounded like good news.

Until I found it it's on Easter Sunday. In the early time slot. Right when many people are sitting down to lunch.

Gutted. I love going to Round 1. It's typically one of the few games of the year where we're not behind in the win-loss ratio, we have new players/recruits/list/strategies, and there's genuine optimism. I'd have loved for us to open 2013 with Viney, Dawes, Byrnes et al to a sizeable group of our fans.

oh crap just realized this 2, i just went from being pumped to deflated i will be lucky if i can even get there i have 5 months of sucking up to the family to do

Playing port round 1 is not good. If we win which we should I will drink too much and start running my mouth stating we are a top 8 certainty. If we lose I will drink too much and claim the year is over already.

Thats bs mate.

Your family only has 6 months to give you a reason good enough not to go.

You are gunna miss seeing the first person ever to be charged with Grievous bodily harm on a football field.

Oh well, you can read about it the next day, if your family is ok with you reading a newspaper.

Wow! a Blockbuster first up I'm impressed with the AFL's thinking; funny thing is I said to Mrs Robbie last night that you can bet the AFL will give us a [censored] game, probably against Port first up and wallah, there it is.

I would rather we have a test against a reasonably good team than face the other basket case team in the competition; I want to know where we are as soon as possible and a win, if we do, against Port will tell us nothing.

Surely you can't blame the AFL for this. Should get a decent turn out for round 1 regardless of who we play, so that doesn't really matter. And there is hardly a more winnable game they could have given us than Port at the MCG to get spirits up and some momentum going. To me, it is pretty much the best possible round 1 result. Just have to go out and do the business and win.

I've already wagered a carton of beer and my leftie on this with a mate who's a Port supporter..

I will never learn.

Seriouly we have made our own bed on "fixturing" but fark the AFL they love to play us against Port in the early/late rounds and at rubbish times.

Hopefully in the top 8 for the first time in a while!

We only get what we deserve so that's about it. I'd prefer to open the season against Richmond, North or St Kilda it would attract a pretty good crowd and would give us an indication of where we were and how our season would be.

I hate wasting games at the G and prefer to play a good side in front of a big crowd.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
