With the release of the draw looming and with a renewed sense of confidence brewing, who would you like to see us take on for Round 1, 2014?
Obviously we can rule out Syd, GWS, Carl and Rich. Chances are it will be a bottom 8 side too.
Thoughts?

    Can we not play the fr&/&king Hawks first up please. Some easy beats early would be good but just who they are is interesting. We don't get to play Vermont or Blackburn for points do we?

    Koo Wee Rup thirds, we could beat them...... maybe :)

    Seriously don't care as long a we get a 'good' amount of home games against the Vic. If the G is unavailable round 1 due to stupid cricket rules I would rather be away interstate than here at docklands

    I don't want the Saints cause if we lose, where to from there? Defeatist? Maybe.

    I want winnable, but justifiable if we lose. West Coast.

    Sydney will be fixtured against Hawthorn first. Surely. Capitalise on the Buddy defection. I'm happy with whomever. It'd be nice to get someone relatively bottom 8ish though. I get what you mean though, P. Aren't we defeatists. :P

    I reckon Saints @ Etihad....we haven't won there since I uttered my first curse word and that was last century.

    Let's hit the ground running!

    I don't want to be smashed like round 1 last year - It was shattering!

    thats why i picked a team like Adelaide, completely agree.

    dont want to "ruin"the season.. Sad truth

    My guess is we'll get someone 'beatable', like St Kilda, Gold Coast in Melbourne, the Bulldogs, or West Coast in Melbourne.

    Yeah just like last year against Port....

    Admirable sentiment bb but highly unlike we would get within ten Goals.

    We should all remember that the MCG is unavailable the first week of the AFL season so we will be at the Dome of death or interstate.

    I either did not know or forget. Please tell me why that is the case OD?

    The season starts a week earlier in 2014 meaning Cricket still has the ground.

    I heard on SEN on Friday.

    They were talking about Carlton and Richmond having to wait your round 2.

    WHO DO I WANT?

    Clark and Dawes on the ground on the same day !

    Norf at Etihad.

    Either get an honest appraisal of how far we still have to go or we can finally put 2 ugly records to rest.

    It would certainly be a challenge to kill two dragons at the one blow.

    Go for it!

    Make a statement.

    I want North at the G and Brent Harvey taken off on a stretcher after meeting Jesse Hogan.

    That is awesome that everyone is voting St Kilda, we all want an easy kill.

    I think in 2014 the Dees will be a different outfit.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
