I know what you're thinking.

Melbourne only wins the opening game of a season once in a blue moon, a rare occurrence involving 13 full moons in a one calendar year.

Well, the fact of the matter is that the last time a blue moon happened was in 2010 but we didn't win our first game of the season - we were flogged mercilessly by Hawthorn so let's forget this blue moon thing and concentrate on the other colour that represents our club.

And tonight fellow Demon fans, we're going to experience a red moon, a lunar eclipse which will start at around 8:00pm.

Which makes today, the perfect occasion to totally eclipse the Suns.

Not only that - it is written in the heavens that by the setting of the sun and the rising of the moon, we will be celebrating our first win for 2015 and for once in a red moon, it will be in the opening game of the season.

Heading along with 5 mates. None are melbourne supporters so there's a chance I can convert at least 1 or 2 if we put up a good show. A big positive today will be the price of beer dropping. A few years late though, I've spent enough time in the bar after we are out of games at quarter time! Got a good feeling about today though. I just have a feeling Nathan Jones is going to lead us to a win!

I could be wrong, but I thought beer was the same price. Wasn't it just some of the food items that dropped in price?

There is a cheaper beer but it's a smaller cup. Gil just forgot to mention that bit

After months of excitement, a week of gastro means I will be tuning in via radio.

I hate to get excited for these things but in excited for this team. I want to watch all of those players. While a couple have question marks, these are over back finding ability not quality of disposal or attack on the game, for once.

We may be a touch short in attack but the is Hogan finally and I think footy in 2015 will be won by fast breaks, sling shots and thus small forward. And we've found 3!

Happy with our defence and happy with our pace across all the lines.

Excited about Lumumbas 200th!

A good showing, a competitive game is all that is needed to keep me satisfied. Signs of taking the game on and not giving up.

Can they deliver?

I'm way too fired up. Too early to head in to the G?

IT'S GAME DAY!!!!!!!

I think the two hours drive home will be horrible...

I don't think we will win. Don't think we will get flogged but a 3-4 goal loss is what I'm expecting.

i reckon we will be victorious today 26 pts GO DEES

Nope. If you don't have Foxtel, you'll have to either get to the game in person, or spend the evening re-creating Hogan's match-winning after the siren goal with matchsticks.

Do they still make an AFL video game? Id love to recreate it on there

It's a Foxtel game. And, they don't commence the telecast until just 10 minutes before the start of the game! Why couldn't they have a full half hour pre-game program? Instead, they choose to lead in with a replay of an old match! Go figure...!!!

Not sure. Footy has always proven difficult to translate into good video games.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
