Waiting on the edge of what will either be mind numbing happiness or mind numbing depression! oh the joys of supporting the Dees!

[Guest]

Worried.

[Guest]

Yet hopeful and excited at the same time

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

trying to keep a lid on it, so much disappointment in Round 1's for so many years.
God i want a win so bad.
Dig deep Dees. This is where it all begins, and i'm not talking about the season.
The dawn of a new MFC.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I'm brickin it. Hope is a dangerous thing.

No win at Etihad since '07

No win against St Kilda since '06 finals

No win in round one since '06.

Fair to say it will be party time IF we can pull it off. If the rot continues, Demonland will not be a place to visit for a good week or so. Maybe more

[Guest]

Late money for St Kilda. Into $2.02 with TAB, $2.25 with Sportsbet.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Just watching us last year, our midfield only ever beat expansion teams because it was so light on, we now have a solid AFL standard midfield against their kids, we SHOULD win easy.

[SaberFang 7,151]

I know we only expect 4 or 5 wins this year against lower tier teams, but I've been pleasantly surprised by some thoroughly average performances by supposed finals contenders so far this round. Richmond, Colonwood and Norf have all underwhelmed. I think we'll have a clearer idea of our progress in 6 hours.

Does having a mcc or a demon membership help your way into the game or just buy a ticket

[Machsy 2,858]

Looking forward to a big win tonight!

Very very confident.

Carn the dees!

Yeah...So like HOWE are we favourites again?????????

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

if we win well tonight and the boys are full of confidence i have no doubt we are capable of seriously pushing Carlton, GWS and GC, other side of the coin is if we lose tonight we could be in for a very long season

I think I saw something about a 16 game membership getting you in, but I can't be sure because I wasn't paying that much attention.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Tonight's really make or break for this club. I know it shouldn't be but we need a win so desperately for motivation, membership and financial stability. A lot rides on this.

[bing181 9,425]

JKH sub.

Surprise surprise.

[Pates 9,680]

Last year I was really pumped, this year I'm nervous. We really need to win this, for our confidence, for the fence sitting fans, for the confidence it'll give them that the change has come.

I'm really not going into the game with expectations, I'm just going to sit back and watch it unfold!

[Guest]

Sweet baby Jesus. $30 for parking at this joint? Now I know why I usually catch the train

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Lions giving the hawks abit of a scare atm although i don't think the Hawks have gone out of first gear yet, just cruising really.

[Guest]

Big turnout already by the Demon army. Good to see a see of red and blue behind the goals

[Sir Why You Little 37,313]
