There's a massive Demon fan i know. Goes by the name "BIG POPPA". He's been following the Demons since just after the last GF. In other words a pretty long time. Almost Old Dee territory! Note i sai

I tipped Melbourne and gave away my Bruce Springstein tickets to go to the footy.

I can't believe how much pessimism surrounds our chances. We're going to struggle against most teams due to our weak midfield. However, if there is ever a situation where the difference between our m

I didn't think we were allowed to announce such things any more? doesn't everything have to go via Channel 7 news or something stupid now? I recall the coaches last year were all very careful not to mention things on penalty of a fine.

That may have been before the AFL developed it's media unit.

They have their own rules.

The first one is

"we do whatever we want"

Rightio,

I personally think it is the right of the club and club coach to be able to announce new players, or players getting their first game.... it's an exciting time for that player, their family and the club.

To have to release such information to the schedule of the media partners... that's bollocks.

They may be allowed to announce debutants earlier as long as they don't name the final 22.....? Or perhaps they sought permission for announcing debutants earlier??

It's stated the selected side will be announced at 6:20pm tonight.

ahhh yup, so announcing the team (where they play etc) is perhaps more the issue here.

Sounds like the more warning we can give the Toumpas family that he is going to debut, the better the attendance figure on Sunday will be ;)

I for one plan to give the boys everything i got on Sunday.

It's time for the Phoenix to finally emerge from the fire....It's time to start winning. Lets start by kicking the Power's ass back over the border where it belongs!

CARN THE MIGHTY DEMONS!.

Good post Rusty. I reckon 'Big Poppa' is spot on ........ many in our ranks are too dour and and negative. It's the start of a new season Christ's goodness sake. Get on the bandwagon and enjoy the ride! Really looking forward to us all joining in a thunderous rendition of the Grand Old Flag post match at the G on Sunday.

I tipped port aswell.. I just think we will be too underdone and plus I think there midfield is far better then ours.. But please Melbourne prove me wrong!!

We've been training since October - how on earth can we be underdone - nothing like having excuses at the ready - we're playing Port at home - could not have asked for a better start - new season new start - take it !

Viney, Toumpas, Jones, Pederson, Rodan, Byrnes and Gillies. 7 new players.

I would suggest that says an awful lot about how the football department rates our drafting and development prior to their arrival.

No mention of Dawes so he didn't come up.

I'm kind of looking forward to Sunday now. Young blood and some bigger bodies. Should at least be different.

Just tweeted by MFC: "Fun fact: On Sunday, we'll have the most debutantes since 1921"

Interestingly, that tweet no long exists... wonder if they were jumping the gun (official team announcement time being 6:30pm).

No idea why it's Pedo and Gillies over Sellar and Terlich but have to trust their judgement. Pre-season performances told a different story.

7 debutants. Gonna be a big challenge to get the win.

V. top heavy, although Schulz, Westoff and Butcher for Port could mean we have to...

I believe Butcher is not returning until round 2.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
