After six often turbulent months of off season goings on, the season begins in a few hours time and it comes not a moment too soon. The results of round one have demonstrated that pre season form isn't necessarily an indicator of how teams will perform when the real stuff starts so we wait in anticipation to see what the new look Demon team will bring us ...

Morton & Bennell as the grunts in the midfield.

Im feeling pretty positive about today and the season in general.The squad is in much better shape when you compare it to last year and i don't see any reason why we shouldn't win today.The Bulldogs gave the two fingers to the critics yesterday and hopefully we'll do the same.Carn the Dees. :)

I am looking forward to watching Olllie Wines, who, I still would have drafted in front Of Jimmy Toumpas based on our need for midfield Grunt.

I am expecting both these players to have an instant impact and will watch with interest. I hope we have finally got this choice right!

IMO we have enough grunt, not surplus, but enough, in Jones, Trengove, McKenzie, Magner, Viney, Grimes etc but we lack midfield run and skill, of which we have Toumpas, and... ummmm.....

We need midfield class. Hence, Jimmy Toumpas every day of the week for me.

And that's not a criticism of Wines.

At the ground Inside Gate 2

Down to get food.

$14 for a chicken sub & chips.

Thanks AFL some things never change.

I want a good win today. Nothing less.

The sour taste of 2012 still lingers.

It is good to be home again though.

The 'G looks great.

Maybe the sour taste of the processed chicken sub will get the taste of 2012 out of your mouth, its a disgrace that the food and drink cost so much, entry cost so much and then if you want to watch on TV you have to pay for that priviladge aswell, makes me angry

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
