Round 1, 2013 Melbourne v Port Adelaide @ MCG

Featured Replies

I swear if we field a injury free best 22 and lose to the power it might well and truly be the end for me

If this happens, Sheahan, Walls, Caro, Denham, Smith, and 80% of Demonland will all be calling for his sacking the next day.

 

I like it.

Low key, low expectations and a game we should win.

Nice way to ease into the season.

Given the new players and the pre-season focus on "the gameplan" it's just what the Dr ordered.

We MUST win this game by ATLEAST 6 goals!

 

Hey you guys. Stop complaining.

Round one. A game at the 'G we can win.

Good for membership.

F$&@k Yeah...

Happy it's at the G

Happy we've got a team we should be beating

IMO if we played this game later in the year we'd be getting 2000-3000 less people, first round will always get a few extra through the gate. I'm definitely not a fan of the AFL's split round idea for the opening round, purely a money making idea and for me just makes a mockery of an already compromised draw.

A win against them in the first game of the year already puts us a win better than last season, right from the first game. Couldn't be a better start as far as I'm concerned. (Assuming we win!!) Will be huge for the team's confidence after this year's first half and will be a very nice welcome to Viney, Dawes and other new players.

Not even going to think about losing. Don 't want to have to go and find another sport to follow after one game.

The AFL have surely stuffed up by giving us Port at the MCG and scheduling North vs Collingwood at Etihad. Maybe Demetriou forgot to put his glasses on when he was double checking the fixturing.

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?

Haven't we also played the Doggies in Darwin? Maybe we will see a return to that fixture?

 

Guys the last couple of years we have played Port Twice.

So nothing to stop another Port Game in Darwin later in the year.

Hope so I might go this year depending on the date.

Its a good start to the season (theoretically). It should get us off to a good start for 2013 :)

But have only played Port in Darwin as the home team.

If it's a return game it will be at AAMI.

Good point

Yeah, okay. So it's better than Hawthorn Round 1, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

I'll ignore Jesus as per usual. I'm a Demon after all.

Definitely take the early timeslot over a fricken twilight game any day. WORST.

Sunday March 31st

Melbourne vs Port Adelaide MCG

This will be the first round game for 2013 hopefully we can show on that day that the Number 13 is unlucky for some and Lucky for others

Would be a good start to the season to get this one under our Belt

If you wish to see the rest of the first round draw if you havent already here it is

Can't wait. For all you complaining, I usually have an easter dinner so this is perfect for me. 1:10 games at the G are great when it's nice and sunny. Would be gutted if it were twilight. I'm glad the AFL are kind to us with Round 1's, now it'll be 5 seasons in a row we've played home afternoon games at the G (hopefully our first win out of these). And best of all, we aren't playing Port in Darwin. I reckon we'll win by 9 points

We'll smash them, string a few together early, few late and sneak into the 8.

I'm glad the AFL give Port good compo, because they really are sliding down a slippery slope.


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.

I'll be there. Only one religion worth following.

shhhhhhhh! The moron may read this and switch.

Are we seriously counting rd 1 as in the bag, before the trade period is even done? When will you people learn!!

The port board on bigfooty have marked Port down for a win!

50/50 game this one given how bad we were in 2011. Plus Port drew with Richmond at the g in Rd 23.

 

Might even out number opposition supporters...maybe

lol...if we lose an opening match against Port at the G...oh boy. Wowee!

  • 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.
