I feel sick.


Hope we don't have to wear the hideous white jumper.

Certainty it is a St Kilda home game.

You will not notice when we win.

99 to go without a loss!

This is why I like you so much OD

You don't let the hype get in the way of the truth.

Like.

OldDee: how many games will be have to win (or whatever positive measure you'd prefer) in the first 10 rounds for you to climb out of the slough of despond and return to the chirpy Young Dee you doubtless were in the 60's?

Sorry Sue but only winning games will make OD happy. Words will no longer do it for him.

Solid Gold.

That being said, I think we're a decent chance at getting a round 1 win with this draw. Good work by the AFL .

I recall have the same belief the last two seasons coming up against Brisbane (2012) and Port (2013) Rd 1 at home, and look how that turned out...

But still with the new coaching regime and recruitment this off season (and the dramatic departure of Scott Watters) I think with have cause for optimism.

New players

New Coach

New Era

I think its time the Demons fired up! Its been seven or eight torturous years since we were half decent.

Its up to the players to drive this!

Surely....in all seriousness things will change this year and we can start to rise!

GO DEMONS!

At lest the MFC Supporters are slowly coming out to show their support for the club in 2014

I do live in a Meth Coast and Shockerland area.

It not safe to go out in MFC colours here

LOL

Sso far 79 days without a loss and at minimum plus another 94.

We must surely soon be entering a record zone!

Soon we will be able to beat that under 13 private school team which has kick our butt over the past 7 seasons.

Not sure we should push the envelope yet DF

I wonder if we're going to be as eager and keen for the season ahead in 84 day's time.

it will be the same as every other year

carp preseason

'it doesn't matter it's only the preseason' (90% of people)

'this spells disaster' (10% of people)

good PS

'we're a flag chance'(90%)

'means nothing' (10%)

I've taken a very philosophical, calmly detached approach to the last 18 months or so, accepting that football would not be a source of much joy.

But when I think of "St Kilda, Round 1 2014", I stir up a little.

I remember Cameron Bruce getting targeted and crunched at the first bounce all those years ago, specifically because he'd finally found some truly superb form, which he then never got back.

I remember the elimination final, the astonishing twists, getting monstered by Gehrig, who looked like the matchwinner, until he had a brain fart facing Nathan Carroll. Mclean and, coincidentally, Bruce, being key winners on the night.

And that starts me on a whole reminiscing kick.

Demons playing finals. The amazing/horrible game against Adelaide, the disappointments of being outclassed upon arrival in 2004/05. Which of course takes the mind back to the desperate final rounds surge in the emotional, up and down year of 2005. Coincidentally, the year we started with three wins led by a rampant Cameron Bruce and were expecting another in round 4 against St Kilda. Anzac Day night game against Sydney (when Brock Mclean stamped himself as everyone's 'future captain').

And of course, on indulgence, the 2000 preliminary final win over Carlton. All these things flood back, even the remarkable win late one year over Sydney, and the horrible 150th anniversary game in the sleet and wind against Geelong.

Pardon my ranting.

How many days to go? :)

 

I've done what I should've done yeeears ago, gone overseas for most of the off season. I have been able to keep my mind off this whole round 1 situation for most of the time but I can't help checking into Demonland every now and then to just remind myself how great our game is and the passion we all have for it and our mighty Dees. Been proudly wearing my Melbourne scarf everywhere and have had many questions asked about it. I'm just hoping for a fit side at the end of this preseason ready to take on the year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
