We're going to absolutely demolish them. Norm Smith is back. The G is ours. Every other club can G&GF.

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 ov

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

Go DEES

Theoretically they did in 2007 but I recall that game was rigged with some farcical umpiring denying us victory, after which I completely lost the plot (forgot now what it feels like to get worked up at the footy). Good to see you've corrected this shambles in the record books.

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

When we drew with Sydney in round 1 last year, we were alphabetically in the 8.

Easter Sunday - mmm...

Will definitely go to church that morning and say a few prayers on the side for the Dees. Gobble down a quick lunch and head off to the G.

Easy.

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.

Meh, so we miss a few thousand extra against Port. Only the hardcore supporters generally turn up to a game against them at the best of timeslots, so save the 'good times' for a team where it will make a difference.

Can't wait.

I hope this doesn't mean the majority of our home games against interstate sides again.

RM I do not care who we play, where we play them, what day or at whatever time of the Day or night.

If we win then it is a great time and place.

Just win games in 2013.

Agreed. We're not going to start getting a good fixture with Friday night blockbusters until we are good enough to have earned it. The fixture is designed to maximize revenue for the AFL, and currently we are not a team that will do that. As a result we'll get a lot of Sunday afternoon and twilight home games against interstate sides.

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

I was thinking the same thing.

We always host Port in Darwin.

Would be surprised if we don't sell a game next year considering we're not exactly a financial powerhouse.

Maybe we host someone like Gold Coast or GWS up in Darwin next year?

That would be an unmitigated disaster. We'd jeopardise the 4 points and a healthy percentage boost. If we have any brains, we'll strongly request a game against one of the Perth teams up there since we do the AFL a favour by sacrificing a home game to play there, albeit for cash. I'll be livid if we play an expansion team there.

I wouldn't mind GWS up there. They'll still be easy beats anywhere.

It's the Gold Coast that will start to be a tough side to play against.

We play Port Adelaide first up next year at MCG - good news!!!

shouldn't it be "good news" we play PA at the MCG round one.??

couldn't give a rat's [censored] who we play round one. Brinng on Hawkers I say! HST A home game is preferable and V a club that DRAWS.... PA ISN'T going to draw is IMO is a wasted MCG clash. In a nutshell a Blues, Bombers , Swans or Hawkers type clash would of been the medicine.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
