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

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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
