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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
